Donâ€™t know when Iâ€™ll make it to the forum this evening, as we will be taking my daughter out for a birthday dinner tonight. Thought Iâ€™d sneak on at lunch and post installment # 11 of the 17-part â€œgun comboâ€

You do have good taste in carbines but I can't say much for the handgun. I shot one once several years ago. I should put a smily face here, but that is is fine handgun.

A friend's .30 Carbine Blackhawk must be the strongest gun around; he accidentally put what he called a ".30-06 powder charge" in it when reloading in the field and it ruined the case, and made a louder-than-usual noise, and nothing else.

Even with 'regular' loads that was the LOUDEST gun I've ever heard, and I've heard everything from .50 BMG to .220 Swift out of a Contender.

Sweet carbine!!!

I tried to talk my former father in law out his Rock Ola for years. Wouldn't budge.

I like this combo. Sharing ammo is what makes combos shine

.

You should get a holster for that Blackhawk, that way you won't need that handle on top to carry it.

That's the only handgun I have that sports a "optical" handle of the magnifing variety. A Bushnell 2.5x "Magnum Phanton". It originally sat on my Ruger Super Black Hawk, but wouldn't stay put under the recoil. The .30 M1 Carbine doesn't kick like a .44, and it makes this one a tack driver! As AJMD429 notes though, it does attract a lot of attention on the range, because it is indeed REALLY REALLY loud!

Your combo posts are the highlight of my day! (Oh My Gosh...I just sudden realized how empty my life is!!)

Post 17 of 17... you have got to run out of combos before then!
What will it be: sharp stick and a slingshot?

Nice combo

!in a gentle but loud caliber for a handgun.

You are well armed - no doubt.

I guess it shows how far the sickness has progressed in all of us...

"Combo-itis" - a medical condition resulting in a fascination with various combinations of firearms based on chambering, vintage, manufacturer, style, action type, or other similar or contrasting features.
