I seem to recall Hobie also wanting the 45 acp. Now that the 9mm debuted, last fall followed the 40, how much longer will it be?

I nevah thought I'd see the day.

"the pro-gun law article", "how little has really changed over the last 50 years" I thought the same thing. The more things change the more they remain the same. I loved comparing prices between different guns and how they stack up to today's prices. Also enjoyed reading a bit of...

CCI: Prairie Dog- Shut up and Dance Game

Nixterdemus

I see the 38 corto has reared it's ugly head.

I'd take the .22 LR out of a rifle over that any day of the week.

Narurally, I can't swing the rifle or hide it as easily.

Nixterdemus

Well, companies are gonna roll the dice at times. Personally, I wouldn't give you two bits for a Taurus Judge, yet some folks love them death. It fires 45 Colt and .410 shells. Reminds me of the Blues Brothers walking into Bob's Country Bunker. "What kind of music do you usually have here?"...

I went to Lipsey's and didn't see the Bisley. I see pics over at the Ruger forum & like the laminated wood stocks over the black plastic.

Here we go again. Will someone call up an oldie station and request Billy Preston's, "Will it go round in circles"? My remark about a speed loader for the Ruger was tongue-in-cheek response to me taking a stab at Charter Arms in a previous post. I dish up a little grief for them coz they s...

Wouldn't be close to the first or last time that I was wrong. Does the sum of the large, bold font coupled w/multiple exclamation points equate to something special, outside the world of a teenage girl's emotions and thirst for drama? "...a Colt M-1911 magazine as his speed-loader..." That...

Nixterdemus

I don't own a 44 mag pistol, but I like the 44 mag in a lever gun. Yes, you can kill deer w/357 pistol, but I wouldn't hunt w/one. As I recall, when the 357 first came out some Inuits killed a polar bear w/357 to prove its magnum status. That's not much of a step for folks that chew whale blubber an...

What, you haven't bit the bullet yet?

I'm waiting on a range report.

I don't have a clue on how good a deal the combo platter represents.

Nixterdemus

You can pick up a used 586/686 357 fairly cheap and shoot the 38 spl even cheaper. However, the 44 mag allows you a lot of power and sorta cheap box store ammo availability. For two bucks more a box you can shoot 44 mag instead of 44 spl cowboy loads if you need the extra bang. This cartridge also c...

I've seen hawks go for tree rats and carry three foot of snake to a snag for lunch.

They sound similar to a helicopter when toting something larger than a field mouse.

Nixterdemus

Oh, lawdy-lawdy! I must comment now on the intended cartridge.

Yes, it is a really good gun for a really big shoo.

I would imagine it is quite similar to the Model 60.

Nixterdemus

The gist should be apparent, yet for some the forest is hidden by the trees. Start w/cap, end w/punctuation and try to spell most of the words correctly. I've already commented that I wasn't concerned if everything was posted in caps lock. I'm not going to read it, yet that's no loss in itself. Run ...

I'll go on record that there will never be a speed loader made for the Ruger 45/45acp either. I'm waiting on Charter. I just purchased two 3" brl Rossi 5 rnd 38 spl for $229 + tax apiece. I guess I could've purchased their new 38 spl Goldfinger model, 32 Lavender Lady or the ever popular Underc...

I've heard nothing except good things about Nick and his customer service. However, to announce a new pistol, that's going to start out in one caliber, in fall of 2008 that is coming out in the spring of 09, then fall 09 and now there's a little banner on their site proclaiming early 2010. Which tec...

My vote don't count, but I don't read cap lock scripture. Feel free though coz it ain't nuttin' for me not to read sumpthin'.

Better than throwing rocks. I'm more inclined to use a 38 spl. especially w/all the ammo offerings available.

Nixterdemus

I'd like to have a 45 w/3" brl. as opposed to a 2.2". Anywho, I figured they'd change gears and come out first w/9mm and then maybe the 40 & 45. Their claim that they're just too busy to open up a seperate line for production is hogwash as far as I'm concerned. I'm more apt to believe ...

Nixterdemus

I e-mailed Charter Arms a while back about their 9mm "rimless revolver" in a five shot. They claim they're too busy making the rest of the line, but I'm not so sure. I'd like to have one. We'll see. Kinda goin' the other way, howevah the 9mm is cheap, more potent than the 38 spl & if y...

"You will get welders flash using that! Put some sunglass's on" I've gotten into discussions w/folks that claim 8-12" of brl and and the fast burning shotgun shells have burned their powder and reached terminal velocity. Appears to me that I have quite a bit of burning powder coming o...

Some of the older ones were used and abused. Howevah, I have the old made in Bridgeport tapered brl and it's tight. Has a hair trigger in SA & I figure that explains the smooth DA. Easy to tote. Rossi made a 720 in sa/da & DAO w/3" full lug brl in SS. Five shot was about the size of a K...

I agree $320 is steep. That's a couple of bucks over a hundred dollar difference in the Ruger 44 special flat top I bought. I'd like to have a BB 44, I have a 38 that's missing the loading gate and needs a return spring, but otherwise is in good shape. It has the BB on top and the dog face on the to...

Nixterdemus

Sad no doubt. I was at a show and an older gentleman was asking vendors in the area if he'd left his pistol on their counter/did they have it in their possession.

If thieves lost a hand when caught it might not prevent them from being thieves, but it would slow them down to half speed.

Nixterdemus

My original, '69 Winchester 94 in .44Mag was more punishment on my shoulder than my Remington 700 in 7mmRemMag. Now, bear in mind I'm only shooting wwb target loads, but I thought the carbine was mild. I haven't shot the short rifle. "...a fluted barrel in reverse..." Well, I'm trying to ...

Thanks for the replies gent. I just compared a rnd 20" SS in 44 mag w/oct 20" bl in 44 mag and the octagon brl comes in at 1.6 lbs more and it's all forward of the receiver so it's more than a little brl hvy. Enough so that I'm figuring on how much to chop off so I have a little more balan...

Nixterdemus

I know some were made back in the day, but other than that can they be loaded w/hotter rnds to greater limits or is the action the weaker link in comparison to the brl? I'm trying to wrap my head around the reason(s) for these heavy barrels in a short rifle. I can see the bull barrel concept in a bo...

That dang ole Steve needs to write a book coz he has some interesting reading. Thanks for your experience and insight. I takes a while for my brain to engage, but it's slowly comin' up to speed.

CCI has the bases covered on the shorts. I've researched them and used them quite a bit. I shoot from a Remington Speedmaster. If you look at the muzzle energy on the CB you'll see it's the energy @ 100 yds on the target round. The target rounds ME is the 100 yard energy of the short hollow point. T...

Nixterdemus

I reckon that might be possible. Never thought about that as I was more concerned w/leftovers covering the mag tube. I had considered not cutting the mag tube any. The little plug that Steve mentioned was gonna be used to support an AL or SS bridge that would angle from the bottom of the brl down to...

I heard some of the stocks split so it seemed the wood could be suspect. but not the metal.

I wanted and tried to talk myself into buying the 480. I really thought that the range berween 454 & 44 mag would be an ideal spot.

Nixterdemus

Thanks for allowing me to bounce the idea off ya'll. It appears that the short rifle special comes in at 1.6 lbs over the carbine and it doesn't feel right, to me. I like the 20" brl, 10 rnd tube capaciity, weight and balance on the carbine so I'm not wishing to create a trapper model, yet I've...

Nixterdemus

Nice looking rifles. Thanks for the tip. Makes sense to cut from the back. I liked the idea of the twist cap coz then you could have preloaded tubes if you so desired. I'm thinking set the mag tube back 3/4" and use a real deep, tapered crown. I mean really tapered coz theres so much of the Oct...

Nixterdemus

Those were some nice shortened firearms. I looked at some ballistic charts and decided if I was gonna do it I wanted 17" for that and the little bit of extra weight off. As far as the tube goes it's two inches a rnd evah so roughly. If I bring the mag tube back 3, 3.5 or 4" it'll all be th...

What, no drum mag for the Saiga? I think where the shotgun shines is muzzle energy. I'll bet my life on 000 to BB easily. Slugs are swell if you're shooting at someone behind a couple of cars.

I always liked #4 buck as the great compromise. I bought some 3" steel BB, 1 1/4 oz @ 1400'ps that I'm considering starting out of the chute followed by the 4 & 00 or 000. Store didn't have any lead BB so I figure the steel outa be good for 30 or 40 yards before it starts slowing down. If t...
