I produced a video where I go over the LaGana VTAC from the American Tomahawk Company. I also compare it with the GI issue E-tool as they have about the same encumbrance, so I mention which one I think is more useful for one's loadout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRkmqSCKPl8 Check out...

The 1911 pistol may be superior to the 1873 revolver (both being .45 caliber) as the 1911 pistol can be reloaded much faster. But the 1873 would be superior to the smaller caliber pistols that most people use for CCW.

My advise is to check the local pawnshops and gunstores for a used S&W Model 10 revolver.

I would also consider the Colt "Sheriff's Model" in .44-40 or .45 Colt for a CCW piece too.

If Charter Arms improved their quality, then the .44 Bulldog would make for a great carry piece.

Bullet diameter + bullet weight = the law of mass. The bigger, heavier bullets are going to hit hard. My point is that a large caliber SA revolver is going to be a better weapon than a smaller caliber pistol.

Get the Lyman #358429 bullet mold and some Alliant 2400 to produce the Keith .38 Special loads. You get magnum performance in a .38 Special.

Old Fluff, The .44-40 and .45 Long Colt are man-killing calibers. Thus the single action revolver is a far better weapon than the smaller caliber weapons that most people choose for CCW.

That is the part I am not understanding. Why use such light loads in a MAGNUM?

Which is why one should grab a rifle when they know they are going into trouble.

The reproduction 1860 Colt Army .44 revolvers always get open carried when I am in the woods.

Five rounds of large caliber, heavy cast, man-killing bullets is nothing to sneer at. Get in lots of range time and get good with it. You will be better armed than those using smaller caliber guns.

It will make a fine kit gun for small game when camping.

Most excellent! I am likely going this route.

BTW, one is liable for every round they fire in a gunfight. Volume of fire might win a gunfight, but collateral damage will make one into a felon. Just another point in favor or marksmanship over the irresponsible 'spray & pray' mentality.
