Any handgun owners?

For bear country I carry my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44Mag loaded with handloads that push a Hornady XTP 300 grain bullet out the muzzle at 1250 fps.

One of my favorite guns.

Not too worried about bears here, wasn't my response - someone elses.

I told him the next gun we buy is going to be one for *me*...

:thumbup: Excellent (Actually, a few of those in the safe are my wife's, so she understands. )

TASTY.... Is that a Bisley Hunter ?? That one's next on my to-do list.

I've got a 7 1/2" Blackhawk in 45LC, and that's an awesome shooter. What kind of scope you got on that?

 

[Phranquey]

Traded my .41 Mag years ago for a deer rifle and still miss it, kind of wish I would have traded the .44 instead,

Dumbass....

.41 Mag is an awesome cartridge, especially when hand-loaded. It is pretty much a cult following, though.... been going to gun shows for better than 25 years, and I've yet to see a .41 walking around. Those that have them tend to hang on to them.

7 1/2" Super Blackhawk Hunter (.44 Mag) with Leupold FX-II.

The scope is supposed to be 2x, but it looks more like 1x to me - which is fine by me. Any magnification there is barely noticeable.

.44 Magnum is also my favorite caliber to reload (don't know why, lol), so I have more ammo than I know what to do with.


One thing I have always wanted, but still don't have is a .44 lever gun. That'll be the next one.

Well the deal is done!

Got a great deal on an XD(M) 9mm today, should be at my FFL Friday.

 

[Josh66]

Congrats!

Yes, yes I am Been telling myself that for years now.

When I find another one, I'm going to snatch it up in a heartbeat.

My Brother has the Super Redhawk in .44 Mag as well as the Ruger 44 carbine. Sweet combination.

 

[Josh66]

I've sold a lot of my guns... I regret selling every one of them.

**** happens, some emergency comes up, need some quick cash ... selling a gun has always been the quickest way to come up with some extra money... Never again.

I had an Uzi a few years ago that I had to sell... I REALLY regret that. That was a bad-ass gun. Way too heavy for a 9mm, and not practical in any way - but you can't deny that it kicks ass! :lmao:

Got a Blackhawk & Rossi lever in .45LC, and that is a fun combo. I'd like to get a Vaquero to go with those....

Won't ever sell one unless it's an absolute last resort, for that very reason.... The only guns I've ever sold were ones I didn't like.

 

[Josh66]

The thing is, every time I sold one - I thought it was the absolute last resort!

Now, I don't care what the emergency is - it'll have to wait.

Every time I sold one, I told myself that I would replace it soon - I never did.

So I just started to look up NJ for gun ownership.. and ran into this

"Federal law 18 USC 926A entitles a person to transport a firearm; however, people have been arrested for having an unregistered handgun when flying out of NJ airports. In 2005, Gregg C. Revell was traveling through Newark Airport, but because of a missed flight, he was given his luggage, which included a properly checked firearm, and he was forced to spend the night in New Jersey. When he returned to the airport the following day and checked his handgun, he was arrested for illegal possession. Mr. Revell lost his lawsuit after The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held in Gregg C. Revell v. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey,[222] held that "Section 926A does not apply to Revell because his firearm and ammunition were readily accessible to him during his stay in New Jersey." This opinion will apply to NJ airports. If you miss a flight or for any other reason your flight is interrupted and the airline tries to return you luggage that includes a checked firearm, you cannot take possession of the firearm if you are taking a later flight."

Damn.. that would suck.. :-/
