Re: Guess I'm Old School.........

ACP asked:

One last question -- do you have a preference for 45 Colt or 44 Special? I guess if I was going handgun hunting I would use 44 Magnum, but for a woods gun, which caliber do you prefer? And I understand both calibers work best with handloads that match the bullet to the bore diameter.

Most of my hunting was done with the .44 Magnum. But .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, or .45 Colt; all properly loaded for the task at hand, will do fine. For varmints at greater distances, I'd pick either the .41 or the .44. I've never gotten a good varmint load for the .45 Colt.


Risky Business asked:

In the first photo, the Ruger in the top position, is that a Super Blackhawk? If so, could you tell me what grip frame that was used in that revolvers production? I really like the thought of a longer grip that , if available I could attach to a old model Blackhawk, with Stag grips of course.

If I'm correct the gun is the stag gripped .45 in that photo. This gun was a Bisley, converted to Super Blackhawk configuration by swapping out hammer, trigger and grip frame for a Super Blackhawk. I believe the stag grips sort of distort the shape of the grip. It is a Super Blackhawk grip frame.

So Bob, you aren't into Glocks or 1911s huh? Just kidding, I picked up my VERY 1st Colt SAA .45 this week and am happy to say it was produced when my dad was 8yrs old. Those Rugers you've got are phenomenal, too. Can't bust 'em no matter what you load up

As to M1911s, I shot a real M1911A1 while I was on the pistol team in the Army. I shot on the "C" Co., 3rd. Inf. Pistol team and we were pretty fair but lost out going to Hawaii. And later I had a Colt Gold Cup National Match set up for hardball ammunition. Never took anything with it except crows. Winchester Silvertips really did a number on those.

I am fond of stag grips but I like mine to be smooth with little or no bark on them.
