It'll handle the same pressure-level loads as a Marlin 336, because essentially that's what it is.

Back story: A DOJ anti-trust investigation began about four months back, and the Chairman of the Board and various execs have hidden that news and sold off their holdings (somewhere north of $100 mil -- maybe WAY north). The news of the investigation was to be announced at the investors'meeting the ...

Restores my spirits a bit to see a fellow white-beard take such a fine buck. Maybe I'll see one tomorrow, after all! Congratulations!

Mule deer with a rifle? Heck, I'd've shot him, too!

Congratulations.

You know, I sure wish we had at least something decent for a Democrat Party, even if they were too lib for my tastes.

An interesting note (to me): Col.

Is a $600 revolver of better quality than a $200 revolver? How is that even a question?

The Wrangler is an excellent $200 revolver; the Single Six is an excellent $600 revolver. They are not the same thing. Take your pick.

Forget 100-or-200-year storms (by the way, you can have 2 or three in a year -- and then not have one for 500 years) ; the last time there was equivalent flooding in the Asheville area, for instance, was 1790. Here in SC, we are beginning to experience flooding from the runoff, as the major Atlantic...

A satisfying restoration of a first-rate thumper.

Your loads are too low-pressure. When a primer fires, it backs out a bit on all cartridges. In normal loads, the case is then slammed backwards and the spent primer is fully re-seated. A too-weak load does not accomplish the needed re-seating and the protruding primer ties the gun up.

Well, both blued and stainless guns will suffer the same wear; it will just be more visible at a glance on the blued one. The slight finish wear that eventually occurs does not harm the functionality of either. That, plus the fact of being more rust-resistant (NOT rust-proof) are the only advantages...

If it has that "drag thru" feel, that's a GI trigger, not a 2-stage. Get something like a Rock River Arms Match 2-stage and you'll see a world of difference. Weightless take-up, followed by a crisp 3.5-4 pound clean break.

I have owned .357 revolvers that were MORE accurate shooting .38s -- and some that were less. So the answer to your question is that your gun will do what it'll do.

Never had that specific iteration, but the 24-inch .45 I sadly traded away while in a fever was a perfect gem. Given a decent price I'd snatch up a new one tomorrow.

Pisgah

Why call it a .38 if the bullet diameter is .357? Or call it a .44 when in fact it is a .429?

Because...that's what they do.

No. They never enter the throat, and pose no problem for the throat or the rest of the chamber.

The willingness to employ your gun is vastly more important than its caliber. I actually know people who carry a gun thinking they can just use it to scare away bad guys. Those folks have already lost their gunfight, whether they carry a .45 or a.22...

OF COURSE there's a serious national security threat, and it is ongoing and massive. It's called the US Government... and their main weapon against us is keeping us stirred up, alarmed and divided over all of the multitude of made-up threats.
