    atr,if that works for you great. Once you remove metal, it’s removed.

    The name says it all! .44 SPECIAL no 5 shot would be my choice, the good old 1950 Target, mod. 24, would get the nod. As for hotrodding it, why? We can safely get 900fps with a 245, to 250gr cast...

    I had a Win. 94 Trapper .30-30 that would keep 2” @ 100yds off the bench with factory iron sights. I once had 3 touching at 50yds factory irons.

    I also find the .44 Special very useful & mostly use Skeltons old load. Penetration with a hard cast bullet in the 240gr+ has to be seen to be believed.

    If you can pick up a copy of Mike Venturinos shooting lever actions of the old west I think he covers most of the older cartridges. It’s a great read!

    Well, if someone offered it as a gift I’d pick the .357. It would have mild recoil, probably be accurate, components available & inexpensive (compared to other ctgs.) & would be fun to shoot!

    I’ve found it’s not the bbl length that’s difficult to conceal, but the cylinder width, & the configuration of the butt. A round butt gun is easier to conceal than a square butt gun.

    Those old break action revolvers were probably carried a lot more than people expect. In an era where a dollar was really a dollar, I’m betting a lot of folks used what they could afford?
