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

Update - Yeah, it had some serious funk goin' on. I bought it unfired and had never pulled the cylinder. Now it's clean and the cylinder turns nice and smoothly.

Revchuck, ever try the 41 special in that M57? If not, you might consider getting some brass and loading it up... makes for a fun, lighter load than the 41 mag and gives you more flexibility with that excellent revolver. I use the same loading dies for the 41 mag when loading the 41 special with the caveat of using a lee 41 mag factory crimp die for 41 special for that part of the loading process.

Have fun with that M57!!

I thought about it and decided it's not worth the trouble for me. When I finish shooting up the current loads, I'm going to get some 210-grain SWCs and duplicate the old "police" load at about 900-950 fps. That's light enough to shoot a bunch but still retains some meaningful thump for a woods gun.

Couldn't think of a better thing to do instead of watching the biggest cheater of a lifetime get inaugurated than to go buy a gun.



Been missing having a 44 MAG around the house.

Need some leather for rambling in the woods. Let me know what you recommend without breaking the bank.

You lefty?
I'll donate one to your adventures.

Thanks for the offer. However, I am a righty.

Nice piece. Hanging around all the old fart revolver groups, the answers I usually get are Barranti, Simply Rugged or El Paso Saddelry in order from most expensive to least expensive, depending on your definition of break the bank.

Man, that looks like a handful.

18 rds of factory 240gr, timed and scored...........
then my 5" steel 45acp 1911 feels like a pellet gun!
