The one I have is the same vintage as me, '69 !

45 Colt!

[COSteve]

I guess I must. I've currently got the following pairs.

▪ .22 lr: Henry H001 carbine and a Ruger Single Six
▪ .357 Mag: Rossi R92s; 20" carbine, 24" Rifle and a Uberti SA 1873 Cavalry model pistol
▪ .40 S&W: Original 1998 Ruger Police Carbine and a Glock 22 pistol
▪ .45 Colt: Uberti 1866 19" Yellowboy carbine, 1873 24" Special Sporting Rifle and a Uberti SA 1873 Army model pistol

[marlinman93]

The idea of a rifle/pistol combo always appealed to me, but honestly I never carry both together, and other than .22RF I never find one load and bullet that works great in both rifle and pistol. But they do look neat together; especially an old SA and a medium sized lever action.

[horsesoldier03]

Both are very nice Scott, I especially love the pair of Ruger .44s.

[Bill in Oregon]

Hey Griff, I like your bear, too.
My only "pair": a Ruger Super Wrangler and a Winchester Model 75 target rifle.

[2ndovc]

Favorite pair these days. .45 Convertible and a Win/Miroku '73.
They can both shoot better than I can.

[JimT]

When I travel these days this is my favorite pair.

Not exactly in the same category as Scott posted and not meant to derail the original post, but it is a favorite of mine.

[Ysabel Kid]

Combinations?

I seem to remember some posts on those years ago.

[JMick]

I like pairs!
I have a '94 Win. Trapper .45Colt and a Blackhawk .45Colt/.45ACP
Ruger PCC 9MM (set up for Glock mags) and G19
Rossi 62 pump and Ruger Wrangler .22

JimT is your Lever in .45 Colt

[JMick]

Left out my 1911 A1 with the .45s

No. It's a .30-30

[Paladin]

My only pairs are .44 Mag, 357 Mag, .45 LC, 9mm, and 45 ACP. My 9mms and .45 ACPs are paired to Submachineguns.

see, that's what I like to hear! :)

[Drawdown]

Only pairs I've put much thought into, because I'd like to own them, is an 1873 & SA Colt in 44-40! A possible pair I recently passed by, but now regret? In 2021 I bought a like new, hardly fired?? Rem 700 270Win made in 2012, from my local gunshop-reload supplier, he was selling on consignment, for some collector who bought it along with its brother in 25-06. I handled em both long time debating buying, cause I really didn't have the extra money. But I knew full well about the 25-06 cartridge, had shot a lot an old coworkers Rem 700 25-06 10 years prior, tried to buy it then, but noway he'd sell. But I'd never been 270Win interested! I'm a 308 cartridges lover! But now, I'm a 270Win lover finally, I'm probably gonna hunt this year with this 700 270Win. But I wish I'd could've bought the 25-06 also. You can't tell much about a Remington by serial number like a Winchester. But maybe these 2 where really twins? Idk, but I wish I had both now, that 25-06 is one fine cartridge!
And I'd love to have the Marlin 336&39a they sold in pairs in ?1971? If memory is correct?

[ikocher]

If I remember to, I'll make up picture of my newest pairing. I'm in the middle of a Chiappa LA322 build that's showing real promise of being fun along with a S&W Model 17-9.

[Ysabel Kid]

Marlin 1894 with a Old Model Ruger Super Black Hawk - both in .44 Magnum.

[Farmerjohn]

Yes! I like pairs....

[CowboyTutt]

Ysabel, one of the best combos I have come across, thanks for posting it! I'm not really a 44 guy, I doubt I ever will be. I prefer 45 on up. But that is a really, really nice combo for sure! -Tutt or Andy

No problem Andy, I can accommodate that request!

I see three pairs here ---

[LeverGunner]

Very nice pairs being shown here. I do like them, but seems like I rarely have had them in my collection. Currently I have the Winchester 92 and Ruger Blackhawk 44 Special, which is pretty close. No pair pictures though... guess I'll have to get on that.

Been wanting a Marlin 39 to go with my Single Six. I've owned one before and loved it.

[Steve in MO]

When I travel these days this is my favorite pair.

Jim, is that the old Trapper 30-30 you wrote about previously?

[JimT]

Yessir it is. Of the few rifles I have it is my Number One.

[Steve in MO]

What I travel with the most these days. Pre-'64 Model 94 30-30 with butt cuff and light attachment from Skinner Sights; Colt Lightweight Commander .45 ACP.

[Ysabel Kid]

I prefer 45 on up.

Andy, would this qualify?



.69-caliber!

[Grizz]

Man you gots some Cool Stuff ! I launch .69 RB from a converted 12 Ga hull . . . I think your flintlocks are far smarter for certain scenarios. Fire starters for one. :)

I wasn’t offended but I couldn’t figure out how they captured that particular pose.

She was a gorgeous woman and she used a levergun. What’s not to like?

[Scott Tschirhart]

Probably my favorite pair. Marlin and old Ruger Flattop in .357.

I think it might be a still captured from a scene where she dismounts rapidly......

One of my favorite movies... and I remember having a crush on her!

[Scott Tschirhart]

That girl had so much hair! I would hope that James Caan enjoyed wrestling with her in the hay.

[Ysabel Kid]

Every red-blooded American man would have!

[Ysabel Kid]

So, more of a "combo" than a "pair", but does this count?



I do need to trim the tomahawk handle. It is a recent replacement.

Me likey!

[LeverGunner]

Some interesting pairs, and interesting derailment. I always like the movie El Dorado.

[Crazy Horse]

I love to pair a levergun with a revolver in the same caliber the 327 and 454 were my latest.

[Ysabel Kid]

Another pair in .32-20 WCF...

[AJMD429]

Another pair in .32-20 WCF...

I have a similar pair with the revolver being a S&W M&P 10.
No pics handy at the moment.
