Marlin 44P and new companion side arm
Hello forum:
Finally picked up a companion sidearm for my Marlin 44P. It is a Lipsey, Ruger Bisley 44 Spec. Haven't shot it yet but everything looks perfect on the gun.
This is going to make a nice combo for my Michigan deer hunting and Florida hog hunting.
Let you know how it shoots but these things are almost boringly perfect.

Re: Marlin 44P snf new companion side arm
I really LOVE the Bisley-gripped Rugers...!
I even got (took a year to find one) a Bisley frame for my old NM Super Blackhawk, which was my first centerfire handgun.

Will be carrying 44 mag ammo in the rifle and 44 Spec hunting ammo in the revolver. Of course, the 44 Spec ammo also feeds perfectly in the Marlin 44 P.BlaineG wrote:Very nice Will you be shooting specials in both of them?

Re: Marlin 44P and new companion side arm
If you use 'Elmer Keith' loads, a 44 'Special' is no less than a 'Magnum', and the Ruger should be able to handle it...trooper joe wrote:Will be carrying 44 mag ammo in the rifle and 44 Spec hunting ammo in the revolver.BlaineG wrote:Very nice Will you be shooting specials in both of them?
I kind of have the same 'setup' with my Rossi 92 in 454 Casull, and my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in 'merely' 45 Colt.

It looks like it & the Marlin 1894P were born to be together.........Until debt do you part.

A fine set of firearms. What bullet is that in the .44 special?

Those are just some Magtech Cowboy Action loads for the photo. I think they are 240 grn, flat nose loadings. Plan on using some Hornady defense loads or one of the Buffalo Bore offerings for hunting.JerryB wrote:A fine set of firearms. What bullet is that in the .44 special?

I kinda wish I'd never sold the 1894P I had !
Blackhawks are fine just not something that draws me these days . But then handguns as a general rule don't intrest me that much anylonger .
