It's something I found interesting.......

My dad used to hunt groundhogs with a 44 mag. That would be good medicine for them.

[Wambli Ska]

It would be fun for sure. But I’m thinking would it have any advantages over a .22 mag outside of the ability to roll your own ammo?

[Elk Creek]

You’d be able to shoot a 40‘grain bullet at 2650 fps…… no 22 mag can ever do that…. Just sayin’

Ruger is catching up to Taurus!

From a handgun barrel?

[Elk Creek]

Yup

[Elk Creek]

Here ya go. Granted it’s a 15” tube but I bet it’s over 2400….

[Wambli Ska]

I guess you could get there in a Super Redhawk with a 9.5” barrel. Don’t know that I would be compelled to carry that beast around as opposed to a trim little rifle.

Wambli you haven’t acquired a new one for awhile, least we haven’t heard of anything. And tomorrow IS Tuesday. That is THE single day .22 is acceptable at the local range. A hornet outta of a revolver may be better accepted.

The last two I got where the two SxS shotguns wife gave me for Christmas (28ga and .410). I’ve been busy moving again and finding all sorts of stuff I’d forgotten I owned.

It’ll be a while before I’m settled and ready to even look at new guns. I have an ammo project that I have to get off the ground first.

About five pounds by the time you hang a scope on it.

You can get into .223 bolt action rifles not much heavier.

Seems like a hard case of "WHY?" to me.

Tweaking the 6" GP-100 to include Ruger's proprietary scope clamps on the barrel would have been a MUCH better way to do this - which is something they should have done for the .357 version 30 years ago - IMO.

Yeah, that. Makes FAR more sense to do in a GP 100.
But make it a 10”+ barrel.

Maybe. No disrespect to Zee and Ernie, but I've always had a hard time wrapping my brain around the attraction to crew-served handguns.

Now if you took something like the new collapsing stock CZ-600 Trail, reduced the barrel diameter for weight savings, and SBR'd it to the point where worthwhile velocity gains stop, THAT would be a Hornet I could get behind.

I don't know how I feel about this.

[PFD45]

My Stainless Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag, 7.5" is one of my favorite revolvers.

I just never cozied up to the looks of its successor.

Maybe if it had some sort of Dan Wesson shroud?

It looks like a S&W Mountain Gun with an erection.

So I guess I'm a no.

Some people want to make shooting require more skill and be harder to achieve excellence.

Reminds me of a fellow I know who quit hunting and shooting competitions with a compound bow, and went to a recurve with turkey feather fletchings.

Said compound bows "got too easy."

He killed elk and other game with his recurve, so I guess he knew his stuff.

[Gila]

It looks like a modern bunline to me. The one below is a Cimerron .45

WHAT I REMEMBER FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE TAURUS RAGING HORNET. IT WAS LOUD! VERY LOUD!!

Shoot a handgun chambered in .30 carbine.
Those are beyond loud.

I remember the .30 carbine Ruger Blackhawk
Indeed it is right up there, a truly awesome shock wave.
Keep fingers way away from cylinder gap!

I shot an Automag in .30 carbine.

I believe it is the only handgun i unloaded on the line and brought back to the bench.

I'd have to turn off my hearing aids and wear two kinds of head gear...

That’s what I shot. I managed to make it through one magazine. ONE magazine.
