The Schofield is cool, they're just a lot bigger and heavier than they look in pictures. Black powder...that may be my final frontier. A Remington New Army in .44 makes sense to me. | ||

The Ruger Old Army is a fine shooter. Inspired by the Remington but with coil springs in stainless. If I was consistent at taking one monthly to the range to discharge the loaded cylinder, had some practice, then cleaned and reloaded, ( with pyrodex or triple seven ) then it would even be a solid choice for bedside pistol safe home defense use. Sure, slow as molasses reloading and billows of smoke in the house, but the giant fireball is intimidating and the terminal ballistics are more than adequate for wild boar or any sub-500 lb. Critter. Fine choice for close woods deer hunting too. | ||

The nice thing about muzzle loaders and percussion cap-fired pistols is that they ship direct to the house, and there are plenty of conversion cylinders available for the percussion-cap-fired black powder pistols that also ship directly to the house. For maximum black powder fun, and still delivered to your door, maybe one of these, and you can fit a shoulder stock as well, no NFA silliness:  Howdah Gun | ||

I like the thought of an 1875 Schofield with extra cylinders pre-loaded, maybe even a 2 or 4 inch longer version. | ||

I always wanted a blunderbuss. Wikipedia says the name is dutch for "thunder pipe". I like a gun you can the what it's loaded with by looking in. "Oh this one is loaded with broken crockery and rocks" | ||

OurDee, You mean speed loaders? I can see having extra cylinders for the loading gate revolvers, but the Schofield is a break-open. (Message edited by blake on August 15, 2017) | ||

I learned a little today. I like the Schofield. But, what I really want is the New Model 1861. The cylinder could be swapped out for reloading. | ||

I believe Clint Eastwood used a Remington 1858 New Army in Pale Rider. The fight scene at the end was epic. | ||

"The “1858 Remington” is a modern collector’s term for the Remington New Model Army. The Old Model started production in 1861 with the slightly improved New Model Army coming out in 1863. Uberti and Pietta are producing fine Remington style handguns, both authentic and unauthentic." This is from: http://www.guns.com/review/gun-review-the-pietta-1 858-remington-revolver/ It is interesting what the article says about Pale Rider. | ||

The Starr and Lemat were interesting designs, though even the replicas have died out.   | ||

On the subject of 9mm carbines... What's a good reliable 9mm carbine compatible Glock magazines? Gen 3 and 4 | ||

The unique recoil redirection system works great, multi caliber, and field proven with spec ops around the world. The NRA article is on the pistol version. | ||

The Kel Tec sub 2000 is a sweet carbine. Never shot the updated version that was recently released but it is supposed to be nicer than the original which, like I said, is really nice. | ||

I like AR pattern stuff. Angstadt UDP9 rifle.  | ||

There is an article on Breitbart is a list of 12 states with 2nd A as your carry permit. In other states, how is a hunter with a pistol out in the field covered? | ||
| Aesquire |
Depends on the state. In NY you may have a pistol permit that does not permit concealed carry. Or one that does, it's all up to the local Sheriff. My ( redacted) initially had a permit that allowed him to own & shoot a pistol, but not concealed carry. So the Pistol went in the trunk, or locked box in his truck, on the way from home to the range, for practice or competition. Then when he bought his third pistol, he "upgraded" to concealed carry just by specifying it on his new gun paperwork, and they gave it to him. For Hunters, they can have a not concealed permit, and still hunt, provided they transport the weapon securely on the way to the hunt. Once you are hunting, it's just like at the range. Most local deer hunters who use pistols either use their normal daily rig, if using a service pistol or smaller. Or they use a cross draw chest rig for large revolvers and pistols with scopes. Sometimes zipped under the jacket for weather protection. Or carry in hand. Many of the pistol hunters locally like Thompson-Center single shots in a wide range of caliber ( .357 magnum minimum ) and treat them like mini-rifles. I know a few who carry Cowboy rigs and use the good old .45 Colt or .44/40 Winchester. Of course some go big and use the ultra-magnums, but I still see used .500 & .460 S&W Magnums in gun shops with a box of shells minus one cylinder full. |
