45 Colt pair
Here is a matched pair in that they both can handle the same heavy loads and shoot great.

Re: 45 Colt pair
Hello,
I have a similar pair.....a three screw Blackhawk with 4 5/8" barrel, and a brand new Puma 92 with a 24 inch barrel! I might be able to do a photo......

Re: 45 Colt pair
VERY COOL.
I have a weakness for 'sets' and 'pairs' - must be some sort of obsessive compulsive thing...!
I can't wait for the 'winter doldrums' - when if we get on each other's nerves, YK will soothe us by starting his 'nice pair' posts. ( No - not that kind of 'nice pair'... )
Actually, some enterprising soul should make a card game with lots of types of guns on the cards, and you could score based on various sorts of 'pairs' and 'series' - the more you knew about the various guns, the likelier you'd be able to connect them as having whatever thing in common.

Re: 45 Colt pair
OS, is that a Puma? If so, i have been thinking about one of those hard since i lost out on a Win. Trapper .45 auction recently. I cant get the 45 carbine idea out of my head now and my Blackhawk needs a same caliber "buddy". (i already have a .44 mag Marlin --- i dont know why i keep filling up the safe with rifles that have similar mission parameters, but oh well -- sometimes being Obsessive Compulsive sucks)
If you had to do it all over agian, would you get the .454 Casull version since it also fires .45 colt? -- or would the shorter rounds muck up the chamber?
prices through Bud's guns for either (45 or 454) are awesome

OH, this is a grand idea! Now I have a winter project. Would be a great way to teach the kids more about firearms.

My pair is in 454 but you can shoot 45 colt in them.

Re: 45 Colt pair
Buffboy, that is a fine pair. I reckon the Buck has seen some use by the looks of that case.

Re: 45 Colt pair
My uncle gave me that Buck as a high school graduation present in 1975. It's been a good knife. The case is a little battered(I resemble that too) but the knife is still doing fine.

OS, I bet the OM 45 outshoots the Rossi! A little tidbit of info---There are less OM 3 screw .45 Blackhawks out there than there are flattop 44's.--------------------Sixgun

Re: 45 Colt pair
My favorite pair is a Winchester 1892 SRC and a 1st generation Colt SAA in 38-40. They will take anything on the ranch two or four legged.

Re: 45 Colt pair
I have shot the pair, and should mention that the Rossi put a hog on the smoker for us using Granpa's "hog medicine". It was served with corn tortillas and Mamma's own salsa, which JerryB is aquainted with.JerryB wrote:Here we go again!! This is my Rossi Hartford carbine and my 1957 Colt .45.

Re: 45 Colt pair
Very nice looking 45 Colt pair, OS.
I like to put together pairs, too, but pairs of rifles and carbines and pairs of rifles in different calibers. I never have gotten beyond just having a personal carry Glock 40 S&W and hunting backup S&W 44 mag Mountain Gun. I'd sure like to have a SAA Peace Maker someday, though! Then I'd want a pair!!!

Thanks mod, I like that they both handle the heavy loads well.
