Does this gun offend you?

IF AND WHEN Hornady ever gets caught up with the current ammunition shortage, maybe they could do the obvious when it comes to 10mm revolvers and reintroduce the .401 Herter Powermag so everybody can have a .400" revolver cartridge has a proper rim on it.

[Buzz Krumhunger]

No thanks.

[troyboy]

No different then a Blackhawk Hunter Bisley kind of concept. Modern single action ported. Might of removed that front site and had a provision for optic mount. I'll bet it sells.

[Drm50]

Perfect companion piece for one of those tactical lever actions.

[Harter66]

I still say lop an inch off sweat a dime in a slot and be done .

Although 40/10/38-40 and a nice 40 Mag based on either a 1.285 , 30-30 , x39 or 6.8 case . I guess since the 10mm is the parent and the 40 is special then a 1.285 would be just a mag but it could be a "super mag" , or maybe just fabulous (in my very best Meshach Taylor , Hollywood in Maniquin) .

Doesn’t Taurus make a ported revolver? I could be wrong.Attachment 275994

Yes they do cause I inherited one in 38 special and it will bust your ear drums.

[Eddie Southgate]

On pretty much every level .

[Win94ae]

I think that is a really good idea!

[Mk42gunner]

Not my cup of tea.

The swiss cheese porting looks so out of place on a single action.

I do like the idea of a .38-40 with a carbide sizer option though.

Nope don't like it. But, I don't like SA's anyway so there's that. And I have a scope on my Garand

[Targa]

Uberti needs to implement a strict drug testing policy.

That is about spot on.

[bangerjim]

Not as long as I am not in the range stall next to it!!!!!!!!!

Otherwise, keep it at home!!!!!!

[rking22]

Doesn’t have enough accessory rails on it.

We have some ported pistols in the family.

I betcha that 10mm would knock your hat off.
Would be no fun to stand next to....
Just sayin'

[beechbum444]

Just curious if next years model will have a pic rail to hold s laser

[Idaho45guy]

Yet. Look what some dolts have done to lever rifles.

Guilty as charged.

I needed a lightweight rifle that was handy and had enough oomph to dispatch a black bear or wolf that got too bold at camp or while hiking.

Such a rifle would need to have a light attached for investigating noises outside of the light of the campfire. It also needed to be operated while wearing gloves, and it needed to be accurate out to 50 yards or so with sights that were easy to see in the dark.

So I bought the Henry Big Boy X in .45 Colt. It is outfitted to maximize it's utility for it's intended purpose. It is an ideal weapon for the purpose I bought it for.

I love the look of a classic lever gun with wood, polished bluing, and case-hardened steel. But I also recognize the wisdom of using the best tool for the job. If the best tool means a lever gun with composite stocks, a red dot for my aging eyes, and a picatinny rail for mounting a light, then so be it.

^ Practical right there.

As for the ported revolver.... I think I want to vomit.

[smkummer]

Porting is the only downside. It’s purpose is for less muzzle rise for rapid follow up, but it’s a single action. It comes with a cost of less velocity per barrel length and enhanced muzzle flash and noise. In certain light conditions, your going to see a lot of flash with every pull of the trigger, especially with slower magnum powders. You will be the guy at the range with that “funky” “cannon” gun. I too thought about the .401 Herters but in a single action, rimless cartridges work just fine. An extra cylinder in 40 S&W would be very practical.

I think sometimes manufacturers will do stuff to guns to “hook and sell”.

I totally agree. Porting is ridiculous in this application and nothing more than a gimmick that ruined an otherwise attractive firearm.

[AlHunt]

Was at my local gun shop waiting on a background check for my new Henry rifle and spotted this handgun in the case.

Uberti 1873 Cattleman Ursus in 10mm with a ported barrel.

Attachment 275965

Now, I like Uberti pistols, and I like 10mm, but I dislike porting. I think if it would have had a non-ported 5" or less barrel on it, nicer wood, I maybe would have brought it home. Was priced at $579.

But in the present configuration, it just seemed wrong.

What do you fellas think?

It's obvious, JB Weld the porting up, sand it smooth and you're good to go.
