Cowboy guns are selling out, lay offs are skyrocketing and the vibe is dark

Leaver action 44

Never had one, always wanted one

12 gauge side by side

Wake the dead

maybe as a collectable

for protection you best but a 9mm, .40 or a .45, something you can readily find ammo for.

.

why would one need a hand cannon?

You don't want a Raging Bull 454.
Brazilian junk. Not even a "cowboy" gun, and it'll blow out your eardrums after the first shot.

Although not authentic, go for a Ruger 45 Colt if you want a cowboy gun.
They're stout, reliable and cheap.
And the 45 Colt, even the weak "cowboy" loadings, is just as powerful as the mighty man-stopping 1911.
You can also handload and shoot that cartridge up to 44 mag power in a Ruger.

Zombies, why else?

The Long Colt 45 comes in a six shooter and is pretty bad!

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

"Acoustic earmuffs, also known as ear defenders: cups lined with sound-deadening material, like thermal earmuffs and headphones in appearance, which are worn as hearing protection"


thinking.

it pays off.

why would I buy 6 shots if I can get 19?

If you like revolvers, what about .357 for a six shooter, and then a .38 in a 5 shot for concealment?

I thought you wanted a cannon, so I piped up. It's bad ass, plus it has a longer range than a 45.

.454 casul revolver was sold out? Because of lack of stock on an oddball gun or so manying buying it?

.454 casul rds aint gonna be at your local walmart . Maybe not even at your lgs.


that is indeed unusual unless where you were trying to buy it from sold the only one they had or some such.

I like the Colt

Pricey though

I'm not going to buy anything

Saving my money for a rainy day

Bottom line

Its an exit weapon

Time to go

We are leaving

Now

Correct

revolvers never jam

One in the holster, two in the hands......

Always use hearing protection

They sure don't

.45 Long Colt is the caliber for cowboy guns.

Lever action rifles and single action pistols
both taking the very same round.

Agreed.
But what about hunting or in self defense?

Yup. It's nice to have an automatic, but if you're carrying it IWB, in a pocket, purse, etc., its kind of reassuring to know that you don't have to worry about failure to feeds, failure to ejects from things like the magazines not being seated, damaged/dented mags, spring fatigue, or the many other things that can creep up on an auto. A revolver is always there ready to serve and if a person can't hit with a 5 or 6 shot revolver on a couple perps, then really a person should be running the other way.

Simple things that work well

I have a marlin 336 Love it!

We do our best

No ones perfect

I had a marlin M-9

Sold it during the 08 collapse

Huge mistake, marlin isn't even in business anymore

I have the winnie 94AE in .30wcf . Gotta love an ol lever gun

You'll shoot your eye out.

And then some

Nothing left with that thing

A gun for lousy shots
