Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns One-Caliber Rifle-Pistol Combo?

Single actions have their place, at least the good ones do, but I tend to prefer DA revolvers. That being said, my last 3 or 4 handgun purchases have been SA revolvers.

Now that would be a prety cool combination. Make the pistol a 1006, Delta, or Kimber SS though.

I did not know they made 10mm MP-5's. That is a lot of firepower in a hurry!!

With you on that one. I am currently trying to save for a custom SS Blackhawk in .45, although the aforementioned SS S&W Moutain gun would make more sense. Something about the balance and feel of a quality single action that is quite alluring. I have owned half a dozen S&W's. They are fun to shoot but I get bored with them, they don't "talk to me", so they have all found their way down the road.

Hey Makay,

What about NINJA TURD !!

Applies the same thing, but DEADLIER

Okay - now you guys got me thinkin'....

Not a big fan of single-action revolvers myself - but I have this Ruger Old Army (I know - not authentic) that I enjoy fooling with. What companion rifle would go with it and use the same balls or conicals?

How about dis one?
1858 Remington

I guess I am not understanding the need for a second post of the same topic but I'll give the same answer a second time. My 4 5/8" Flattop Ruger 44 Mag and Ruger Carbine 44 mag. And I do shoot handguns, a [bleep] of a lot more than anything else actually. From 22 RF's to the 500 Linebaugh and about everything in between. My latest being this tweaked Old Model Super Blackhawk.

That's about the only one I can think of.

BTW, these rifles spit fire and burning grease out the cylinder gap all over your supporting forearm, which necessitates wearing a long leather cuff on that arm if you want to avoid permanent scarring.

Nobody doubts for a second that you're a handgun guy to the core Tony---------and with superb taste.

"Tweaked", you say... as in a new base pin, Bisley grip frame with custom grips, and no doubt a bit of an action job?

Pretty nice rig, Tony.

My 3" 629-4 and Winchester 94 Trapper that I had to sell. Still have the 629 and hope one day to get another .44 lever gun.

Uhyup - leather gauntlet might be a good idea.

Aren't there any single shots that would be appropriate? Maybe this is a question for the Muzzleloaders forum...

A light flintlock with a full length curly maple stock would be very nice.

Depending on what the "Plan" was:
SP101 22LR & Model 90
Vaquero 38-40 & Cimmaron 1873
Vaquero 45LC & Marlin 1894CB or 94 trapper carbine
Contender 223 & Colt AR 15
Contender 25-35 & SRC 1894
Heritage 22M & 9422M
Heritage 17HMR & Marlin 9317
Police Positive 22WRF & Remington model 12
Contender 222 & Savage model 40

You sir, have very good taste in guns!

This thread made me realize that I already do have several long gun/hand gun same centerfire caliber combos:

.38 Special:



.40 S&W:



.45 ACP:



9mm:



Another 9mm:



And to answer the OP's original question, the one that I think is most useful, .357 Magnum:

Your .357 combo is the winner. Fo' shizz.

Lyman sells single shot Great Plains pistols as companions to their Hawken-style rifles. I think they have both .50 & .54 cal pistols, so you could presumably run the same balls as in the rifle. Track of the Wolf I think also sold pistol kits at one time, although I don't find them, now.

They do a .45 also, I have built a couple of them years ago and long since sold or traded them.

..those S&W 76s were great guns.....
