I have one's in .357 Max and .444 Marlin. Mine have the full length forend, not the one's that are chopped off square on the end. I also had one in .358 Winchester. They are alot of fun. I put a brake on the .444. It is the best "muzzle brake effectiveness" demonstration I have ever seen. I can only take about 3 shots of 300 gr. loads without the brake on. It makes a huge difference.

The .444 is definitely my favorite.

Don't know if you are aware, but Competitor still makes similar pistols in a gazillion calibers.

They have several problems. One is the trigger setup that is hard to make good. The other is extraction when loads get too hot.
But they are deadly accurate and so strong nothing short of a nuke will hurt them. They really need a better extraction system. I made a larger one for mine to reach under the rim better. Someone said nickel brass comes out easier.

I have one in 7-08. Accurate and powerful, the muzzle brake helps a good bit.
