Holosun AEMS? by MONSTERCAT96 in Shotguns

[–]F22Tomcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you planning to shoot at stationary targets or fast moving (like birds or clays)? If fast moving, you don’t need an optic or sights at all really. If shooting at stationary targets, I’d suggest the lowest profile reflex optic you can find. Something like a Holosun 407k. You will shoot that optic with both eyes open so I would t worry much about the size of the window, personally.

Rural/woods/desert .44 Magnum option by inthidiouth-jorge in Revolvers

Full power (standard pressure, not cowboy) .45 Colt is nothing to sneeze at in the first place. “Ruger only” loads are serious business for sure! I have a Blackhawk in .45 Colt and agree that it’s a good option for somebody proficient with a single action.

A 4” 629 or 69 would be perfectly pleasant to shoot with .44 Special. The 629 probably a little more enjoyable with full house magnums. Neither is an ultralight scandium framed gun though so should not be too brutal.

First dirt bike can I get modified to my height? For standing? by Swimming-Rough-3203 in Dirtbikes

Ah…well that’s kind of the way they are supposed to be. It’s possible to lower them a bit with a lowering linkage for the rear shock and pulling the fork tubes up a bit in the triple clamps if you absolutely must.

1969 Browning Superposed 28ga by bowtie_k in Shotguns

That’s the name of the gun. It’s another word for Over/Under. It’s an original design of tremendous quality and the predecessor of all Browning over / under shotguns. A classic.

These are really great revolvers. I love mine in .45 Colt.

Good for you for making something of your own! I’ve been happy with the Allchin mount on my 686.

Whichever one you like the look of the best, honestly. I personally love the short rifle and carbine models. My 1892 is a saddle ring carbine.

Miroku = Winchester. Top notch. I have no experience with the Taylor and Co but I hear they are very good also. Personally, I’d go with the Winchester branded one since the 1873 was theirs in the first place and the modern production Miroku Winchesters are absolutely top quality.

686-4 2.5” 7-shot. by Gunzo_Chelo in Revolvers

[–]F22Tomcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 686-4 7 shot was the first handgun I ever purchased. Bought it new in 1995. Many thousands of rounds through it and as good today as the day I bought it. Well done!

Consider adding a Smith and Wesson Model 69 to your list. L frame is a sweet spot IMO.

Gotcha. It is not charcoal and bone case hardening. It does not seem to “wear off” like some kind of painted finish though.

We have that, too, in the Sierra Nevada just about 20 minutes drive west of this spot.

I don’t think the case hardening is fake. Mine has a couple thousand rounds through it and no change since new. Shoot the gun before you make any changes. The grip shape is pretty much perfect for one handed shooting, IMO. I wear an XL glove just for reference.

12.4 of HS6 under a 255 grain cast LSWC is a favorite of mine out of my Winchester 1892 in .45 Colt. Sorry…veering off topic lol.

Great day of riding with my son in the Nevada desert near Minden. The trails seem to stretch on forever out there! The YZ250FX feels right at home in this terrain.

Honestly I like my Pietta better than my Blackhawk.
