Had a chance to handle one of these a couple of days ago. Never saw before until now but had heard of them. Im sure .44-40 shot shells are impossible to find. Any of you guys own one?

It may take the 2.5" .410 shotshell, I think it would be a cool little gun to have.

Yessir, and if it's priced right and has external hammers, it would come home with me. Gunner

44-40 ammo very obtainable. Just "google" it or whatever, and it'll come up with a number of places who have it, I'm sure.

I think maybe it shoots the 44XL , not the 44-40. The 44XL was an ancester of the 410 , it was shorter than the 2 1/2" 410.

Mike Yep, my stepbrother has one, but someone lengthened the chambers so it would take 3" .410s, and that's what he's used in it. It's a squirrel-killing little sonuvagun, too.

10-4 Jericho, is it still available, and was it fairly priced in your opinion?
Thanks, Gunner
