Re: 44 Special.

Good read, for sure, and I agree with the loads ability. I bought my first .44 Special a little over 10 years ago, a Ruger Flat Top Blackhawk, and of course went straight to the reloading bench and proceeded to load a handful of the Keith load. Impressive, to say the least. https://i.imgur.com/AxpU5...

Re: New SSA Made In The USA

Yep, very nice looking gun, and made in America. But being retired and on a pension, if I were to save up, I'd get the real thing. Gun Genie has a Colt SSA for just a little more (about $100.00)... In the mean time I'll just shoot my "economy" Cimarron SSA. I can pretend it's a Colt when ...

Re: Cimarron SA 45 Colt.

I'll tell you the one thing I appreciated about the Pistolero, Pietta took the time to incorporate the replacable recoil shied in the frame.

Re: Cimarron SA 45 Colt.

I understand elevation variations with different loads (what bullet/load is a SA "regulated" for?). Basically, I was wondering if Cimarron/Uberti revolvers were assembled well enough for the bullets to land somewhere close to what yer pointing at (some imports are not really good shooters...

Re: Cimarron SA 45 Colt.

Just like I said, some essobee would chime in with the inevitable operator error rigmarole......again, I counter with the why of the invention of adjustable sights. A properly assembled revolver should shoot relatively close where windage is concerned. Think about it; If a straight barrel with a go...

Re: Cimarron SA 45 Colt.

Is the Pistolero you're looking at like this?: http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/308Scout/Auctions/Right%20full%20cartridges_zpssw7yeszv.jpg If so, it's a Pietta. I bought this one earlier in the year and try as I might, could never get it to shoot worth a flip, so I sold it. Not an indictment on...

Re: S.O.S.- Mayday- Help - update

1992 Nissan pickup owner here. I washing the motor a few nights ago, with the motor running, and it suddenly died (no, I didn't spray water in or near the air intake). A cursory search found the wire on the coil had been knocked loose by the water pressure. It wasn't completely off and had I not giv...

Re: If anyone has any doubts - 44WCF /44-40 on deer

So....... Did anyone harvest a deer this year with the vintage .44-40? I do know that Rowdy got another one this year. Not as big as the one shown in the 1st post but another 1 shot kill with the '73 and black powder. :D http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=39912.0;attac...
