Decisions, decisions

[Twigg]

I'm already thinking about the next Henry group buy (if it doesn't happen I'll get one anyway) I'll be getting a Big Boy, color case hardened in .44 magnum or .45lc; I want a revolver as a companion piece, the question is which one? I'd like to pick the hive mind of NES on this. I'm thinking a single action to match it.

Who might make a color cased revolver in either caliber ?

I'll help you spend more money.

Turnbull Finished Firearms | Turnbull Restoration Company

He has companies buy and commission runs of certain pistols and rifles. He did some Rugers not too long ago.

Good luck.

Uberti's are nice...

I'll help you spend your money too. I had a Winchester 94 Trapper length in .44 Mag. It was a great shooter. The .44 living in the pipe for that much longer has more felt recoil than I thought it would. I had a Uberti Henry in .45 LC and it was much milder. In my humble opinion though if I could only purchase one pistol cartridge lever gun it would be a .357. Inexpensive to shoot by comparison and just a roar to plink with. I would do Uberti as well... or one can step right up to the plate for a Colt. Buy Colt Single Action Army Color Case Hardened - 5.5" .357 Mag for $5,795.00 | P1650Z and Traditions Frontier Series 1863 Single Action Revolver .45 Long Colt 5.5" Barrel 6 Rounds Case Hardened Finish Walnut Grips SAT73-003 | Cheaper Than Dirt

If you're in New Hampshire, you don't have to put up with the bullshit that we do. Look at Cimarron Firearms Co.

That is true, it is remarkably unMaura like up here in the woods.

Just bought the Henry Color Case Hardened .44/mag (H012CC) from the recent group buy @bgoum
Suggest you start there.

Ubertis from Taylor & Co. are nice.

44 mag all day!

 

[fshalor]

Ballistics wise, I can't warm to .45LC.

44 mag or .357 has my vote.

And I want one too!

 

[Radtekk]

I have Henry Big Boys in 44 and 357 and a SuperRedhawk 44 and GP100 in 357 both in stainless to match. Can't lose either way

The Cimarron Model P is very nice. I am familiar with them, however given the OEM I always went that way. It does deserve checking them out. I would definite consider them for my next single action purchase.

Watch out for the puddle of drool on the floor. Down the rabbit hole I go.

Never thought about .357, that opens things up quite a bit. Should be enough for varmint control & affordable enough for plinking. I've been wanting a super redhawk after trying one a friend has up at camp. But that Uberti !
I keep seeing that in my minds eye next to the Henry with a long tube Malcolm 'scope mounted on top. Perfection.
