I'm with the photoshop'rs on this one--if so, too bad as it would seem unnecessry as it appears to a substantial cat regardless! My folks used to live in Conifer and said they saw one near their property once. I've told this story before but...I had the honor and thrill of playing with one of these ...

Hmmmmmmm, McPherson, Clay, etc... I don't quite understand the why of it other than you want to. I think for as large as the gun is overall the 22" is a perfect proportion. It certainly carries well and comfortably. I'm with Hobie on this one. Proportions of the 22" are about the same as ...

I don't see them listing 92 parts but over the years a pretty consistent presence out there for '86 parts...so they may be useful in pointing you in the right direction.

I don't expect politicians to be able to sing, and similarly don't much care about singers' politics, provided they keep it out of their songs. I'm the same way. Sometimes hard to reconcile I admit. One of my favorite artists is (known to be) pretty liberal in his personal "at home" views...

In another thread I can't seem to find right now it was mentioned .22 Rimfire (not LR) could be fired out of .22 Mag I'm not familiar with RF and why it's even around - looking to re-verify this is the case. I've seen some .22 RF around when neither LR or WMR has been.

To the OP's point, it does make you wonder. Several random-time checks, including on-or-just after suoposed "delivery day," local big box outdoors store shows nothing but bare shelves--ammo and guns...It's not like they get a load in and some un-named mystery batch of customers cleans it a...

I may have a pair to sell (I am told :) ) - 12.5 W - just came in. Not a thing wrong with them and everything good folks have said bout them (w/o my actually wearing them about outside).

Can't speak aabout France from experience but, from generally positive family reports, there are parts I "theoretically" would like to visit outside of Paris. +1 for Japan. Having lived there as a kid, very warm and friendly people for the most part (remaining curmudgeons from WWII are mos...

I looked at a pair of Remingtons the other day at Bass Pro (1911s and cowboy guns the only guns left!), one the R1, the other called the "Carry." I found it odd that they called the latter that, and was not the new Commnder-length but basically an enhanced 5". I was hoping to see the ...

.44 Sp Rodeo

I love 'em - and mine in particular-- NOS .44 Sp Rodeo I picked up a few years ago, then antiqued. I try not to do too much comparison with the Ubertis--as I also have a Cimarron P in .44 Sp I really enjoy. I kinda let them be their own greatnesses on their own!...But yes, USFA right up there at or ...

One word of caution. IMHO avoid safes with the multiple "holes" (for barrel retention) versus rows with open ended slots. A friend ignored my advice and got a safe of the size the OP is seeking I with the holes. Big royal PITB to put guns in and take 'em out---especially the further you go...

Another 12.5 W here - thanks!

Another +1 go for it and enjoy the heck out of! I've had .44 Mag 92s for years - great cartridge/rifle combo. Just know your limitations. I agree with the 125/150 comments. Why .44 over the .30-30? - round count (non hunting)/self defense, and IMO, less sturm und drang as a daily brush popper. (Betw...

John, I've been shown wrong more than once and will be the first to retract what I've said and apologize if necessary. The Ruger XR-3 grips have always been Colt SAA shaped, but the locating pin is in a different location. I have seen grip sets with two sets of holes drilled in them because the wer...

I've got the American Hollys on a few Rugers. They're excellent and great values (and do look like medium aged ivory from a few feet), but relative to ivory is relatively soft and more prone to dinging...So, IMO, if you cannot do real ivory, a Colt deserves nothing less than Tru Ivory. If you "...

Good stuff guys. Also some elements of some James Bond music in there (tempo, some melody etc) I grew up to a lot of that too. Brubeck and Take Five was on our tape machine all the time, as well as a lot of other jazz of the day. Nelson Riddle's Route 66 was great. Enjoy it all to this day. +1 to We...

I was under the assumption that any Colt with the push button to release the cyl pin was smokeles frames. Do I err in My assumption ?

I believe the only factory Rossi claiming (correctly) to be "genuine walnut" was the relatively short-lived Navy Arms - late 90s/2000-2006 or so? All no safety btw.

Also, aren't mag tubes for the smaller calibers of 92s--.25-20 and .32-20--different from .38-40 and .44-40 - and hence forearms? The smaller cal's wood, t lest on carbines, seems to have more radius to rise up to meet the tube...and IIRC, aftermarket stock makers ask "what caliber?" - for...
