Re: Which 92 is the strongest?

I used to do some test shooting for Jack Huntington of African hunting revolver fame had some he wouldn’t do because of lack of metal in the gun to be safe with the cartridges.

Re: Which 92 is the strongest?

One can assume he means what he asked. Which 92 is strongest? . .., without further qualifiers. Among the standards the issue is moot as they are all strong enough for the 44 Mag which is the upper end of their standard offerings. Certainly he can refine the question if he so chooses.

Re: Which 92 is the strongest?

What is the point of a strength difference when none are chambered for anything more powerful than the 44 Mag and they are all strong enough for that.

Well ironically except Rossi that lists a 454 Casull which is stainless how ever that affects the issue.

Looking at this in a practical sense, Win and Chiappa are only available up to 44 Mag. Rossis certainly I would expect up to that.

Actual testing - the rifles - is the only way to settle the question and what the various brands will stand up to.

Otherwise just prognostication .

I wonder what applications we are talking about where this 92 receiver strength would be tested, maybe 454 level.
