The heavy barrel 1894 has no appeal to me. It defeats the fast handling of the whole outfit Think of an 1894c in say 357 as having the handling of a 22 lr but it shoots a brick. The last year or so my 1894c has been my funnest gun to shoot. I throw a 40 round leather cartridge belt over my shoulder and go for a sage walk pretty simple to pluck out a shell And keep the gun topped off. Get one !
