    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Is a new design of a lever gun. I love lever guns. Collect them. But they are still not innovative. It's a throwback to 1800. Even the stupid tactical lever guns... still an old lever gun. My 450 marlin was a fairly new gun. I never thought of it as new. The other 3 were revolvers. The 69...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Thats a couple lever guns with 1800s dates...a break down handgun and some revolvers. I have a new anaconda and a 69. Excellent guns but not terribly innovated. I said new designs. That's far from it. The 100+year old 9mm gets brand new guns. New designs. 15 years ago the Glock 26 was probably...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Id have to see some data. I'm in doubt. I don't carry one... but some people LOVE the 1911. Kimber alone has made a million 1911. Not counting the 100 other makers. Ruger has only made 1.5 million lcp total It's a better carry gun though. I'll agree. 45 colt is above 44 in hits on several...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Many a trucker would say so. I think hits kill. A miss with a 500 never killed anything. A hit with a 22 has killed every animal on land id say. The drone goes 35 or so mph in safe mode. People do better with a semi auto with a dot. Same for rifle. I actually did it the first time...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    I tie a big hominy can to a (looong) string and hook it to my Mavic pro. I fly it and let people train on moving targets. In that case semi auto is far better. Red dot is better than sights for most. Even me. And I hate a red dot in a handgun. Lol But again in my case the woods are tight...

    Most rust resistant handgun?

    I'll buy that. All mine are later but one and is a safe queen. The rest are German frame/ USA stainless slide. The finish gets ugly fast. But doesn't rust I'm my factory we have found the same. Ive said that on here for years Nope. Costs too much. More than you make in a month

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Maybe in states that require a straight wall cartridge 44 is popular. Around here where shots may well be longish 100-150 yards and the white tail are big..... most people use an appropriate round. 7mm stw, 338 lapua, any ultramag, etc etc. Lol I've never saw a single person hunting with a 44...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Dornaus and Dixon and Colt if they wanted a 10mm. Duh. Lol If I couldn't carry my x frame and a 3120 husqvarna all day I'd get in the gym. But the point is a lighter one is more comfortable. At some point you have to just pick. I could carry my 329. My anaconda. My redhawk. My Blackhawk...an x...

    Most rust resistant handgun?

    I've carried the same Glock 27 for 20 years. Its been caving. Its been in the ocean a billion times. Its been everywhere. Pretty tough finish. The USP always claimed to have rust resistance too. Even the springs. Ive read they quit that on the springs though. Ive found the USP to scratch...

    Opinions on the perfect nightstand handgun.

    If your keeping a fully loaded revolver that all you have to do is pull the trigger....why would the semi auto not already be chambered so all you have to do is pull the trigger? I'm missing it?

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    They can be pretty dang heavy. I have a 1.5 or 2 or whatever they called it 686 plus and its far from light. That and the Glock 29 are two guns that after having them I said yep..."worst of both worlds". Lol

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    I'll never be without a 44. Have many.. but if they aren't dead they aren't exactly growing. Hunting as a whole has declined for years. Less than 4% hunt supposedly and all the 44s are hunting guns. The big box stores are usually without a 44. Even previously dead cartridges like 10mm have...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    I have plenty of both. 10mm and 44. If I have a light in my hand and my 460 in a holster I'll shoot the 460 and hold the light. Same as I would my glock 22 on the night stand that HAS a tlr. I get 1-2 shots. I have 1-2 seconds to shoot a bear..... no way I drop my handheld and worry with the...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    And how are we hiking in the woods in the dark we can't shoot in without falling, if we don't already have a handheld light. Lol

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Really? For a woods/hiking gun? Why would one be hiking in the woods whenit vwas too dark to shoot and not already having a flashlight already in their hand.....to see where they were going. Now we are getting attacked by bear while hiking in the dark and we are taking time to turn on a...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    Lol. I always kind of pictured it as being the punishment for insubordination or something. Like getting stationed in Siberia or something. Getting sent to a cold ass country and given a bad deer rifle and a dog sled (not even a snow mobile) with one other individual who was also...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    From what I've seen for 20+ years of using the 10mm and 44 both. And hearing about the sledge patrol for that whole time. I have to wonder about that stuff. They also carry a 30-06 1917 rifle.....we issue newer and better battle rifles to color guard to throw in the air and shoot over...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    I never said anything about capacity in that one. Simply that the argument the poster made was "you don't have time to dump a 15 rd mag" But then argued that you did have time to dump 6 round of 44. Lol I've fired thousands and thousands and am a decent recoil handler. if I had time to fire 6...
