    Magnum Research BFR

    Oh neal, the same model (and caliber) I want and I hope to have soon! What a lucky man you are!

    Let's see some single actions!

    Those are mine: a Pietta .45 LC 1873 custom model and a Ruger .44 Magnum Old Model Vaquero. The next could be a BFR... :D

    Best revolver manufacturer.

    Ruger for me, without doubts! Smiths are very good guns but I don't love it; while Taurus' for me suck, but is only my own opinion. If were Freedom Arms' among "candidates", you know, they would have my vote. I'm half-agree with that you say about Rugers trigger: I had a lot of problems with...

    44 mag. vs. 454 Casull

    When I owned the SRH, I enjoyed myself to reload hot charges. One of latest loads was a cast 345 grs fired at 1726 fps from my 7.5" SRH and at 1840 fps from my friend's 10" Freedom Arms: means more of 2250 fpe from mine and 2560 fpe from FA!!! Cost? Recoil broke our arms like a stick stroke

    45 Colt or 44 Magnum for my next?

    .44 Magnum is my advice. Or better, .44 magnum is a certainty, a safety. Now, which gun? Depends on the kind of gun you want: if you want a double action revolver, my suggestion is Ruger Red or Super Red Hawk (maybe Super Red is better for hunting); if you want a single action, Ruger Super...

    New grips for my .44

    After one of my two Colt 1873 repros and Walther P1, and after weeks of waiting, finally also my .44 magnum Vaquero has new grips: those are black Micarta grips. :D

    Bird's head uberti

    Since his birth the Uberti manufacture was into economic orbit of Beretta (a sort of "Beretta branch office"), like FB (or Effebi), Fabarm, Pedersoli, recently F.lli Pietta (but only in the last years) and Bernardelli, and others: in fact all those manufactures have production factories in...

    Thanks Red

    S&W460 or 44mag

    BFR barrel A question for Redhawk: do you know if the Custom Shop of the BFR (Precision Center I think it names) makes revolver with barrel longer than 10.5" (like 12" or more)? I ask you because you have two pieces BFR.

    S&W460 or 44mag

    .460 12" Hunter, the one I've shot, was charged with factory 200 grs Hornady, and was its "fire baptism": blowed up at third round of second cylinder. About others two .460, a 10.5" PC and an 8 3/8", I didn't know the owners: if I've to be honest it's more than probable was a reload blunder the...

    S&W460 or 44mag

    My source si myself, and factual information I can give you because my personal experiences give me this right: I've seen three - not one, but three -S&W revolvers in .460 Magnum blowing up in front of my eyes, and one of this, a 12" PC Hunter model, at no more of 10 inches from my nose, and no...

    S&W460 or 44mag

    Dear Redhawk, it's an issue of points of view: you have yours, more than right, but I have mine, if you don't mind man. Thank you

    S&W460 or 44mag

    Damn! :what: With .460 S&W it's really possible reach a velocity level like this? :eek: 360 grs bullet at 2000 fps means 3200 fpe!!! :what: Which load you can do that with?

    S&W460 or 44mag

    My nickname is biggerisbetter, so my advice is: buy the .460 Mag, but look at Magnum Research BFR, not at S&W: I've tried the 12" PC Hunter model, and in my (and in the owner's) opinion S&W frame (both Performance Center and normal production models') is not as strong as to tolerate safely...

    Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk vs. Vaquero - What's the difference??!!

    First time I've heard this expression was in the movie "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man". I'm a great fan of this film, you too? I'll have seen it thousand times :D By the way, someone of you guys has a picture of that "SBH .454 Conversion" used by Mickey Rourke?
