You fellers have it all wrong... This is OUR world, and we only sometimes tolerate the existence of such nasty critters as (including, but not limited to...) bears, wolves, coyotes, lions, jackals, hyenas, wolverines & left-wing wackos... Any bear (or other of the above-named predators) that com...

.357 just doesn't have the case capacity for the kind of load you're looking for.

For nasty, fanged & furry critters, I don't reckon you're gonna have much time to decide which choke would be best. At distances under 20 yards and closing, just pull all the triggers & hope for the best. One choke is as good as the next. Don't panic --- There's plenty of time for that AFTER...

Just my not-so-humble-but-well-consideed opinion: They're YOUR guns, and they were designed and built TO BE SHOT... Retiring them from active duty in their prime would be an insult to them and their creators... Look at what happens to old folks when they're taken out of service and warehoused in som...

In Wyoming, it's Yellow paint, but that's only a courtesy warning. A Wyoming hunter is obligated --BY LAW-- to know exactly where he is, and on whose property, and must have WRITTEN permission to trespass for ANY reason.

That gun will handle heavier loads than what you want to shoot much of out of it :!: There's precious little difference in outside cylinder wall thickness between my New Vaquero, and my worn out ol blackhawk.

Well... I seem to have heard such tales before, and they STILL make no sense to me. I AM a cowboy shooter; shoot a Uberti '73 and/or Winchester '92. I ain't the "machinegun" type speed shooter, but I seem to do all right. The guns are both pretty much STOCK, and I've never been hurt by eit...

Can someone rationally explain to me the "WHY" of wrapping the lever with leather....???

None of the reasons I've ever heard make a lick of practical sense to me.

But then.......

I reckon that I have been just plumb lucky to have an Interarms Rossi 92 .357 and a Rossi 92 .45 Colt that both shoot just as well as my 1917 Winchester 1892 32WCF. No complaints about these two junk piles. I sure am glad I didn't wind up with the stuff old Buck talks about, I reckon the Lord just ...

Buck Elliott

I beg to differ, Sir... The folks at Miroku KNOW how to build a '92 that REALLY works -- right from the box. The Rossi iteration is a pile of junk, but a goldmine for the guys in the "make-'em-work" business... (No slight to you smiths intended) The '92s from Italy have so-far fallen into ...

A little dab of white Lithium greas on the pin and the ends of the cylinder. Clean it off after shooting, and apply a fresh dab or two... Basically the stuff they use to assemble new or reworked car engines. If that bothers you a little, maybe a dab of the Lithium to the brain-stem might be in order...

Have had several Ubertis in .45 Colt over the past 15 years. They all functioned perfectly, and the one I have now is the slickest levegun I've ever owned, with only MINIMAL work on it... Some say the .44WCFs work better, but I have yet to see the proof of it. No, you can't hot-rod a '73, like you c...

Buck Elliott

Hoist to their own petard, methinks...

Judging by the examples of JUNK they put out, under the guise of FIREARMS, I can only wish them a speedy demise. The '76s I've seen (from Chaparral) would not be a credit to a bunch of crack-smokin' 7th-grade shop students.

Among today's manufacturers: Beretta/Uberti.
