I would go with the 44. I don't think recoil will be an issue if she wants to shoot. She can use 44 Specials or CAS level loads to get acclimated. Then for hunting, any decent hunting bullet beyond standard Special velocity will do the job and leave a big hole.

44shooter

I kinda get it for small game and varminting. Then again, an accurate 38/357 isn't that hard to come by and should do great. IMO coyote and beaver are about as large as you should take with a 30-32 pistol cartridge, captive livestock excepted.

You won't hurt your chokes with buckshot. Your choke might hurt the shot though. Only way to find out is to shoot and look at patterns.

44shooter

I have carried buckshot, especially when I was a little boy starting out. Never shot a deer with it and never had much confidence in it much beyond thirty yards. I think the bulk of the pattern need to hit vital tissue to work reliably. I've heard of long shot kills but I never believed they were a ...

44shooter

Beautiful...I love 20s, especially in doubles

44shooter

There are lots of videos on YouTube of homemade guns. Most are extremely crude, but much better than i could do. I think it's legal for personal use

44shooter

Ray, I've read issues of people trying to get in touch with Mr Ace too. Heard he works construction and the winter months are better for correspondence. The gunadapter/short lane folks seems to be in full swing. Seen their products on retail sites and on youtube videos. Chiappa and gaugemate are als...

There were plenty of Double actions produced during the 92 Winchester production period. Some even before like my first model DA 44.

I have a pair of Vaqueros but I prefer double actions for general use. With autos, I'm the opposite, so far.

44shooter

I saw some long 22 inserts for rifles on the Alaskan site. That looks like it might work providing you index it repeatedly as you have observed. Bore dimensions of rifles are much more consistent and that provides support for the tube. And the sights on those rifles are incredibly precise whether op...

44shooter

Actually I would consider look for a police or corrections trade in. You might get a nice S&W 66 or something similar pretty cheap. It might even come without the internal lock and mim parts!

44shooter

Are those actual clocked velocities? You can't rely on published data with greatly reduced barrel lengths. If so I stand corrected. Your Ruger is handily beating a full size 9. I don't see twice of anything though except maybe recoil and noise. Your load from your Ruger is still comparable to 40 per...

44shooter

That one is a rifle though

44shooter

Went to the LGS today. There was an 1873 hanging above all the bolt guns. Upon closer inspection, it's a 38 also! Looks decent although I didn't take it down.

44shooter

Yes, I'd rather put that money toward getting it choked and in a short case than making a poor rifle out of it.

44shooter

Depends on your taste and uses. I have a six inch S&W 586. It's easy to shoot well and is crazy accurate, but it's really too long and heavy to carry holstered very long. A four inch would be better. I think snub noses are too short to benefit the 357 (makes it a loud, fiery, hard kicking 9mm). ...

44shooter

The more I read and think about it, I'm leaning towards not getting an adapter. It seems like good handgun level accuracy at best at ranges that can be handled with shot. I can use a handgun, even a very small inaccurate one, for the situations I mentioned. For $70 to $120, I don't think it's worth ...

44shooter

I see inserts ranging from chamber length up to 18 inches. Some of the short ones aren't even rifled. I'm thinking the middle ground is probably the most practical. A five to seven inch rifled insert for handgun ammo is what I am thinking. I don't think the accuracy is there for long range, even if ...

44shooter

Does anyone here have any direct experience or observation with inserts that allow firing of handgun or rifle ammo through a shotgun? Seems accuracy would be lacking, especially with the lack of precise sighting. I know there are a few companies making these and they seem to resonate with the surviv...

44shooter

Since you said old single shot, I would suggest looking for a Stevens crackshot. It's a falling block so it will be easy to load and fire with LR, L, S, CB, shot, etc. they were made up into this century so there should be some reliable ones on the used market

44shooter

I generally agree. That's why I don't buy the cheap bulk boxes. That said, the only squib I have ever experienced was with Eley (not Tenex, but still very accurate practice ammo) during small bore practice in college. I caught it because there was there no hole in the paper and the coach pushed the ...

44shooter

Nicely done sporter. I would never sporterize my almost 70 year old M48 that looks new, but so many rifles were modified in the middle of the last century. We might as well enjoy them and put them to use as we see fit. My dad gave me a customized Swede. I may do a little work to it if it shoots well...

44shooter

I like Winchester Power point and CCI SGB for hunting with my bolt gun. They are both accurate and designed for performance on game. The SGB is spectular on beaver with head shots, no tail slaps like I was getting with round noses. I like a high velocity solid for my MK II and my Kimber 1911 kit for...

The title of the article is misleading. The article goes on to say the prosecution team was not allowed to use the bird's vocals. She was convicted anyway. I do believe the parrot is repeating what he heard as a tramautic event he witnessed though.

44shooter

They look good on that blued Gold Cup

44shooter

I think he is guilty. Not signing it.

44shooter

Perswan, have you called Ruger? If they still have bands in stock, they will be cheap. Wouldn't be surprised if they just mailed you one at no charge. Don't know if the bands are identical to those of the 10/22. If so, they probably have at least a pickup bed full of them.

44shooter

Low rings will work. I have a Leupold 2.5-8x36 mm on mine.

44shooter

I would rather have IC and Mod in a double. I also rather have a 20 to reduce size and weight. But for that money, I would jump on it. I might would cut and tube the barrels later or just open one or both chokes. Under $700 for a major brand O/U is a steal these days.

44shooter

Yes, as described above. I'm sure Leupold will send you a manual if you request it.

44shooter

The serial number should be on the receiver. However, it has to be a very modern FN made M70. Parts are made in South Carolina and shipped to Portugal in the last few years.

I haven't seen one assembled in Portugal, but the SC completely made ones seem to be very high quality.

44shooter

I got a 77/22R shortly after it was introduced. I was a teenager in the mid eighties. The rifle listed for $275 then. That's what their American 22 lists for now. That's why fine traditional bolts are going up or being phased out. Bolt guns have been simplified to make cheaply and everyone makes the...

I love my 705. Snapped the very tip prying something. I just cleaned it up with a stone

44shooter

That's a pretty rifle. Shoots great too. The 1892 is my favorite Winchester lever gun. It's in my top three of Browning designs.

44shooter

I don't know if he is the best, but Turnbull is the most famous in the gun press. Maybe he is good at marketing or has enough production for his name to be widespread. I'd say his colors look great. I just don't like them on some of the guns he does.

44shooter

That Marlin looks tacky to me. But $1300 isn't too bad for a new rifle refinished by the top name in CCH work, if you like it.

44shooter

Maybe 125 yards?

44shooter

Doesn't look like any 1897 forearm I've ever seen

44shooter

Nice lines though...looks like a Walther with grill marks

44shooter

Guns like that have a history of not being produced long and going up in value. S&W, Taurus and Rossi have all produced big bore, 5 shot, short barreled revolvers on 357 frames. Not many people buy them, they get discontinued, demand goes up

44shooter

Bonds are no where near as small as a Remington derringer. It's compact but not tiny. I haven't shot one but they seem well made and are highly regarded. That said, there are better choices for self defense against armed men. It may work fine on canines at very close range. Remember these are very s...

44shooter

While researching and restoring my dads old Iver Johnson champion, I've seen references to a 44/100 chambering. I thought it was some sort of proprietary small gauge shotshell.

Now that I know it's just a 44 WCF, I want a barrel for it. (This one is 12 ga)

44shooter

He liked to degrade and abuse prostitutes and under aged girls. not much of a fan

44shooter

I didn't say Henry was a cheesy brand as a whole. But their making of rifles without loading gates is a marketing ploy, i.e. Branding, to associate their company with the 1860 rifle. IMO that's cheesy. And so is fake brass. They can make a 1892, but they won't make it faithfully. It would have front...

44shooter

It will never happen. Henry is stuck on a inferior loading system that has been obsolete for 150 years. And it's not about cost. It's about cheesy branding to tie their name with a rifle they did not develop. Yes I know rimfires are loaded into tube mags this way. They are too small and soft for rea...

Nice rifles. I love that peep on the auto.

Good to see from my alma mater...Go Wolfpack!

44shooter

Yes, the 45 Super case is stronger than acp cases although they are externally identical. The increase in performance, through velocity only, is by taking increased pressure. I only mentioned it to show that a weaker gun with a thinner cylinder can take pressures of around 28k. I have no idea how lo...
