Okay everyone! Tax season....What is everyone's next handgun gonna be ?!

I just picked up a Hawe's Western Six Shooter and was with my friend yesterday when he bought a Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag. Got me back in the mood to look for another hunting pistol!

I hunt with a 460 XVR, been thinking about a double action S&W or Ruger in 357 Mag. Not sure why, just got the bug.

No plans to buy another one, just want to get the 6 projects that are scattered all over the country at various gunsmiths finished THEN we will look at buying our next one.

No plans I have something for every niche you can name and spares for most of it.

9.3x74R double is my next one.

I want to do a .375 Atomic like on SingleActions.com. It's a 30-30 case cut down to 1.4". http://singleactions.com/files/375AtomicUpdated.pdf
I've got a spare 357 Blackhawk laying around and picked up a 357max cylinder to use. I've got a couple of 375 cal barrels sitting around also to use. Now just need to find a good smith and order a reamer I think.

I think mine will also be a .357 of some sort. More than likely a double action...under $500

I feel obligated to own an S&W Mountain Gun (or a 4" P&R ). Problem is deciding between .44 mag and .45 colt.

I think you will find that the Max cylinder you bought isn't going to fit that Blackhawk 357... the frames are different sizes. I hope I am wrong, but I don't believe I am.

Yes the Max cylinder is longer, but has been shortened so that it will use all of the window in the frame to allow for a longer case and longer loaded length. It was a much cheaper option than getting a new custom cylinder made.

Sadly it will probably have to be a Kahr with NYS new law. Best solution I can think of.

Kahr CW380 as soon as they start showing up in sufficient numbers.

Yup, this is a fairly common practice in the custom world. Looking froward to seeing it! Who's going to do the work, Glen?

I'm going to have another .500 Linebaugh built on a Bisley Hunter that I have -- every .44 Mag deserves to become a .500 of some sort.

I have two glock 23s waiting 4 me paid for just have to pick them up.

Couldn't past the price up

Been meaning to get a Smith & Wesson PC .44 snubby for a year or two, keep getting distracted by other guns. So theoretically, that,d be the one. Unless a Ruger .45 Bisley whistles in my direction in a moment of weakness...

Lar45, if your plans change, I'd be interested in the Max cylinder. I have had three different cuostoms done with Max cylinders so they fill the frame window but I am always looking for another. The next will be another 41 I am thinking.

What are you going to use for a sub-caliber trainer if you convert all the .44s?

In my house it's "go big or go home." You have to put on your big boy pants here. My wife can handle my Casulls, so we'll be alright without a .429 Magnum.

Trying to decide between getting a single six convertible or looking for a single six in 32 h&r mag.

Kimber Tactical Ultra II. Always wanted one.

What I want isn't made yet. Thik 327 federal in a SW n frame mountain gun and 8 or 9 shot stainless

I want a nickel Colt 1873 with 4 3/4 bbl. Chambered in 44-40.

7 1/2 Bisley .45 LC

CC by Turnbull
Rust blued by me
Turkish Walnut grips by me
Action work, etc. by John Gallagher
Fire-lapped by me

I'll post a full report once John finishes and I get it to the range.

Got a Scandium J frame coming from S&W with a trigger job and a couple other small enhancements, new, but paid for does it count?
I've been threatening a Freedom Arms .22, but got distracted by an AR a couple months ago... and a client has threatened to part with a super blackhawk... but I really mean to have that FA... some day.

I got a Les Baer shipping to me in just about a month, then after some recovery time I will be starting my 500 linebaugh by Huntington. To many projects, well one can never have too many!

top of my list is either a 24 or 624 smith in 44 spec... but i'll buy any quality 38 or 357 short bbl'd revolver for a bellygun.....also looking for a stainless colt in .45 to build a BBQ pistol... i want a 9mm blue or satin colt combat commander...varied taste's, huh...

I want a H&R like my grandpa had. Model 999 Sportsman. Somewhere I have the serial number and year of manufacture, but don't want to pay an arm&leg.

Next would be a S&W 610,
Followed by a Seville 375IHMSA-which is probably very close to the 375 Atomic,
Of course a Freedom 353 in 357 mag would be cool too.......................

There's a .480 Ruger Redhawk that's been a-callin' my name!

Been trying to find a M&P Smith to handle for a possible new CCW piece. But as usual when I go looking for something specific a panic happens and everything in the world that bullets come out of are either gone or way overpriced.

The first pistol I bought was a Hawe's Western Six Shooter in .357 from K-Mart many years ago.
It was great fun until some lowlife broke into my father’s house and stole it along with everything else I had.

Picked up a Stainless Steel Bisley Hunter in 44mag a couple weeks ago have to give it a try next deer season.

Glock 20 stuffed with some hot 180g loads.

Waiting on another .475 Linebaugh 7.5" Freedom Arms, should be here this week.

Les Baer Premier II in .38 Super.

S&W 500 in 6.5" stainless. Should be here next week!

Been thinking about a 10mm Glock with optics just for general playing and annual pig hunt. But every time I shoot a Glock I'm disappointed with the trigger. I wonder if there's a good solution without going to another 1911 or revolver?

I have been thinking about a 686 plus. Can't decide between 6 inch and 4 inch barrels. I'd like the longer barrel to hunt with and the shorter to just pack around. The long barrel with a full underlug would look great along side my 629

I just purchased a Reeder BMF custom in 475 Maximum. It should go real well with my BMF in 500 S&W. Both use heavy 5 shot cylinders built on his beefy SS frame and have 4-1/2" magnaported barrels.

I have a BFR in 44 mag at the dealers now paid for and waiting on Maryland paper work. I also have a 1911 in 10mm ordered from a custom gunsmith in VA the frame and slide should be to him this week. My problem is the 8-10 weeks Maryland is taking to do the normal 7 day background check. From what I here they have 40,000 + permits backed up WOW tks KEN

Just picked it up today and stopped at range on the way home. I had bought some low recoil loads as I was unsure how the beast would handle. What a pussycat! My 44mag with 300 gr corbons kicks a hell of a lot more. Will have to load up some stouter loads. Definitely a pleasure to shoot at this point.

I had really wanted a USFA Sparrowhawk.Now that they are not making them,I probably will stick with what I have and try and get more proficient with them.

Lar45 who does work on the Blackhawks conversion to 375 atomic. I got some stuff laying around gathering dust I can use for funding.
