The number one reason you don't want a .44 special SA. I want one as well. And there is already enough competition for the ones out there. Seriously though, if you are already set up for .45 colt, I can't really think of a reason to get a .44 spcl. The main benefit to me are the shared...

Good price. The only SKS I have is one of the aforementioned oddball sporters with a paratrooper barrel that takes AK magazines. unloved by both AK and SKS purists, it is still a ton of fun.

Agreed, decent price but not lottery ticket time.

There is such a thing as too light, both the rifle and the trigger. Compensating for a light rifles inability to "settle" into a shot by lightening the trigger to the point where I wouldnt consider it safe for field carry is a poor solution, imo. 3-3.5lbs is as light as I'd go for a hunting...

Once upon a time... I only paid $200 out the door for this one in 2015 or so, local pawn shop. They used to go for $200 all day long, because until then a NiB surplus M10 was only $299 from just about anywhere. That Hong Kong M10-7 box I bought had the receipt in it from 2001 or so, $249 for a...

Could also be that the .45 gets so many hits because its hard to find in stores in anything other than cowboy loads suitable for all those italian SA's.

I have a few combat masterpieces that I've shown recently, But I don't think I've posted my m14's lately. I have a 14-4 that's is pretty nice shape, And this one was owned by a brigadier General and WW1 and WW2 combat veteran.

Well, you can wrap this one up. This is a screen shot of what Gunsinternational.com has for revolvers. The .44 magnum is still doing pretty well. Its the most popular big bore revolver round on their website right now by a large margin.

I just looked at the S&W website and came to the conclusion that this thread is clickbait. I'm pretty sure that there are more .44's for sale now than there have been at any time in the past. https://www.smith-wesson.com/products/n-frame S&W alone makes the 29 classic, the 629, the PC 629, the...

Well, we are starting to diverge from the thread topic, but for the record I didn't say the N frame was built around the .44M or even .44 cartridge, I said it is sized for it. Whether by design or by coincidence the N frame is the perfect size for the .44M. The argument exists that the .44M is...

Winchesters marketing of those post-64 commemoratives reminds me of the "Tisas will gain value as collectibles" notion.

Well, that doesn't really answer my question. The first example to a very small degree but there is no telling if a .44 magnum would have had the penetration over the 10mm to make all 6 follow up shots necessary, The other 2 could have been done with a .44 magnum revolver just as easily. Can you...

This finally arrived so its official, just waiting on the transfer. S&W Heritage series 29-9, one of the only 300+/-(?) S&W .44M's with a frame contoured for a pencil barrel with no rib, and if my info is correct and the 29 Heritage model was the last heritage model produced, that means this was...

Has anyone here ever even heard of a situation where the ability to dump an entire mag of 10mm into a bear was a deciding factor? Like, the first six 10mm projectiles wouldn't have saved them, but having another six did? Has anyone ever actually had the time to empty their 10mm at a bear during...

If you are happy, The seller no doubt is extremely happy.

I think "to their limits" is a little hyperbolic for both guns. I have both and neither has a reputation for spontaneous self-disassembly. Yes, as I've said, the N frame is just enough gun for the .44 magnum.

No. The N frame, a 6 shot gun, is big enough that the .44 magnum is simply robust, but The L frame, a smaller 5 shot gun, is unpleasant to fire full house magnum loads in by all reports. The L frame is by all accounts too little gun for the cartridge. Its hard to argue that the N frame in .44...

Its pretty simple. An N frame is sized for the .44. You are carrying exactly the amount of gun you need. No more, No less. You get exactly as much power as the gun is capable of, and the gun is about as big as a reasonable carry gun can be. A .41 is less cartridge than an N frame is capable of...

Except the guns built in .41 are almost all built on .44 size frames so are overly big and bulky for the caliber, ammo is harder to get than .44, and if we are talking about dying revolver cartridges that start with .4, the .41M is definitely higher on the list than the .44
