I have 32 guns (I think, havn't counted recently) I'm also a moderator on the net's foremost handloading website (www.handloads.com) so needless to say my time is spent around guns a lot. I also have sveral motorcycles and am the Vice-President of my local chapter of the Cristian Motorcyclists Association.

Yep, it's all about God, Guns, and Motorcycles

I love guns and hold very strong to the Right to Bear Arms. I like older Mil-surp rifles and currently hunt with a Swiss K31.

I had a friend who's uncle shot himself in the foot with a 22. He was curious, and soon found out how much it hurt!

I'm not too into guns.
Sorry.

It's totally cool, but ya don't care if I ask why?

I find target shooting at the range fun but very challenging at the same time. That's one reason I like guns.

Usually a Colt Peacemaker in the movies, but historically speaking, the Smith & Wesson Nos.1 and 2 were also quite popular (if not more so - they sold over 20 000 of them between 1872, when the 2nd Model American was introduced and 1874 when it was discontinued) during that time period. Buffalo Bill, Wyatt Earp and Dallas Stoudenmire all carried S&W revolvers.

I don't, I believe in the privelage of owning firearms. The frustrating part about living in Canada is that the Tories think it's a right, and the Liberals think it's a sin. Stupid politicians. But that's a discussion for another forum, like Government and Economics.

For me, I enjoy firing my weapon, but it's more fun to rip different ones apart and see exactly how they work. To my little technician's brain, the design is more interesting than the weapon itself.

A couple years ago, my buddy walked into work and handed me a bolt, then asked me if I knew what it was. I said, "Of course, I know what it is. It's the bolt from a .303-caliber British SMLE No.1 Mk.III rifle, circa 1916." He said, "How'd you know that?" I said, "Because I know these things..."

I own a Remington pump-action rifle chambered for .270 Win.
I like to shoot it, but it kicks like a mule. I normally use it during the firearms deer hunting season here in Nebraska.

I love but haven't had any in a while. I'm planning to buy a Remington Express 870 shotgun and a Ruger Blackhawk .41 magnum handgun,or one in .45 Long Colt.I'm getting back into hunting,I really love wild game!

The .44 Schofield was a very popular at this time as well. Jesse James was one of the first to carry a S&W double action,or so I was told.

Wasn't the .44 Schofield the Russian model?

mmmthasgood1 · 01-19-2007, 06:06 PM

I have a .357 revolver, a .22 rifle. and a pellet gun.

KATMAN · 01-19-2007, 06:53 PM

I don't know for sure. I think the Russian model had a design totally different from that of the Colt Peacemaker. The Schofield .44 was similar to Smith & Wesson,according to some books I've read about it.

I'm not sure what a .44 Schofield would be... The Russian models were #3's chambered in .44 Russian, originally for a Russian government contract but eventually sold commercially. The only Schofield pistol I know of is the modified #3 that was sold to the U.S. government in the mid-1870's and was chambered in .45 Schofield, essentially a short .45 Colt. Both the .45 Schofield and .44 Russian are variants of the S&W #3 large frame single action.
