Re: SA Revolver Options - need some insight

I know you were leaning towards a .44, but since you were thinking of concealed carry I would reallly give the little Ruger Montado some serious thought.

Re: What do you use your .357 lever gun for?

I think the .357 carbine would be a great home defense gun and for prowling around in the woods.

Re: MUZZLE LOADING SHOTGUN

I put together a CVA double kit last winter and plan on using for woodcock this fall.
