    3" Saturday

    Have a few revolvers that fit within the OP specifications... :) S&W 60-Pro with CT-305 laser grip: S&W 65 with Pachmayr grip: S&W Governor: And last but not least (?), the NAA Earl with interchangeable .22LR/.22WMR cylinders... The only pic I have of it seems to be in this "family" pic...

    Let's see carbines in pistol cartridges.

    Not only a beautiful ordnance assembly -- but a really nice photo composition, Chicacharrones! :thumbup:

    Let's see carbines in pistol cartridges.

    I love this recent surge in PCC threads! 🤗 I've posted these pics elsewhere, but just to add to this thread... :) Pic #1 -- T/C Gen-1 Contender with a 16.25" .44 magnum barrel Pic #2 -- Winchester Trapper chambered in .357, accompanied by some compatible revolvers...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I like glass on my long(er) barreled .22s... My eyes aren't what they used to be (and maybe never WERE what they used to be... :)).

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    Thank you, Sir! 🙂👍

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    I LOVE this thread! :thumbup: I have a couple of PCCs, but they are of the "old school retro" variety... A Winchester '94 Trapper in .357 (pictured with a few caliber-compatible revolvers), and T/C Contender with the 16.5" .44 magnum barrel... I do envision a semiauto PCC at some point in my...

    Chiappa Rhino 50DS

    I have a S&W Governor (which I love) -- so ungainly, weird, and awkward-looking firearms are a "thing" for me. :thumbup: I'd love to get some flavor of Chiappa Rhino at some point. :)

    Gun weirdness in media

    In NOTLD 1990, one of the first things the Tony Todd character says is something like, "Do you have any guns? Rifles... Shotguns... Anything?" Now that's a realistic reaction from an unarmed person facing the depicted scenario... Not the anti-gun hokum so many Hollywood productions pawn off...

    Gun weirdness in media

    I always loved the 10-12 rounds Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) got off with his Mare's Leg in the course of a running gunfight... And the show ("Wanted Dead or Alive") made at least one reference to Josh purchasing .45-70 cartridges for it at a general store (the rounds that were on his belt loop...

    Gun weirdness in media

    Yup... In the Hollywood universe of weird, kludgy, and ungainly firearms, Deckard's blaster stands as my favorite also. It would work for everything from futuristic dystopia to steampunk. :)👍

    $15 on Amazon for tan Mora

    The Honey app says that's also the lowest price point it has hit over the past 3 months... :) I've thought (often) about getting the Kansbol -- but I have the Bushcraft Forest. As far as I can tell, they have very similar blade geometries. Other than a variation in grip, the big thing with...

    $15 on Amazon for tan Mora

    I run the Honey price-comparing app on my PC, and that's the lowest price point the Morakniv Store has had for the tan Companion in the past 120 days (it seems to be a price point that it hits off and on). :) Just when I think I can't justify another Companion for "that empty drawer"... :oops:

    Back To Revolvers

    Speaking of trigger-tuning a J frame -- I had my S&W 640 (.38 only) tuned by a local gunsmith several decades ago, and was left absolutely amazed by how well a J frame COULD be tuned... :oops: My only mistake was letting my wife use it... She promptly proclaimed it to be HER gun. :D

    Fighting Revolver

    Love this thread... :) Of course, I'd always prefer to be somewhere other than where a gunfight is taking place... :D In a pinch, though, I suppose these might suffice as handguns go... 🤔 S&W 65 3" barrel S&W 686 Powerport 6" barrel S&W Governor

    Why aren’t .45acp carbines more popular?

    I recall that, back in the day, one of the gun rags (I believe it was Guns & Ammo) did ballistic tests of various loads in four calibers (9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP) fired from both carbines and handguns. The .45 was the only cartridge to LOSE velocity in one of its loadings when fired from...
