Men I appreciate the input. I'm on a pretty tight budget so I was just looking for some ideas. I'm gonna go into this slowly with my brother. I'm diasabled and don't get out as much as I once did so this is also gonna be a hobby of sorts. Here is what I have thought about: 20 ga & 12 ga PB powde...

Nath...great shotguns..... at least the older ones. I carried one as a member of a special response team in the Navy. The barrel was really short but the action was very smooth. The LAPD and many other PD's used them for years. I would buy the all steel version....

I am pretty sure it is 10ga.....there is a group that discusses this ever now and again in The Double Gun Journal asking people to write their Congressman to change the law to allow bigger gauges.....my great-grandpa was a market hunter/hunting guide on the Missouri River back in the late 1890's thr...

Lance welcome to the forum. I have let two 99's slip thru my hands in the last 30 years....a rough as a cobb .300 with more drilled and tapped holes everywhere but that sucker was fun to shoot.

Well men I stand corrected. I just dug up the article I referred to in my earlier post. It is from the September 1981 issue of Guns & Ammo magazine. Phil Spangenberger is the author. The Duke's SAA in this instance is a 1928 vintage 5 1/2" .38-40. It was first used by the Duke in the 1933 f...

Barcelona Rick

The Duke used several different SAA's but I remember 25 - 30 years ago reading an article in Guns & Ammo magazine about the Ivory grip SAA that was in several of his movies including Chisum.....it was his personal SAA bought in the late '20's (I believe) and the caliber was 32-20. Now I have sin...

Buck I agree with ya....the noise sure sounded like someone banging on the front door and not gunshots.....I didn't think gunshots would wake me up...at least not outside of the house.
