Big Bore carry/general purpose outdoorsmen revolver pic and discussion thread

Would a 4"+ round butt .44 mag be considered sacrilege?

I would consider it concealable.

If it is practical, packable, and fits you well, then from my perspective, I have zero issue with it. Frankly, it has been my observation that many follow a somewhat standard "blueprint" of what a custom revolver must be, perhaps for the exercise of doing so, and never really explore the finer points of what really increases performance for them personally.

For an example, I took an interchangeable S&W front sight, and went to work on it with a file, to get a couple of different elevation references for shooting at extended ranges. Then the cuts got filled with orange paint, rather than something "classic". It may not be pretty aesthetically, but it worked for what I wanted to do, and allowed a bit more consistent performance within it's scope.



I suppose that is a bit of a long winded way of saying : Go with what works for you, and screw convention.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing that.

I just noticed that this thread was started 3 years ago today. Great thread (yeah I am biased) with excellent contributions, both information wise, as well as pics.

Good stuff!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

That's my "I'm not hunting" big bore back-country gun.

Fellow PF poster Alukban started a "guns and coffee" pic thread elsewhere on the interwebz. This was my humble submission, patterned after a great pic he has of a USFA SAA .45 Colt.

Anyways, time for a couple of updated shots, in a purely for fun thread.

I really need a new camera, but it would cut into the primer, powder, projectile funds!
