shep854 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 On a happier note, Alabama repealed its ban on Short-Barreled Rifles last year! For me, it means I can own a dimensionally accurate M4gery if I want to. AND, if I want to cough up a few tens-of-thousands of dollars, I can get a full-auto or burst lower, and have a "real" M4 or XM177. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep854 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The Mare's Leg is supposed to be a .45-70; look at the cartridges on "Randall's" belt. "While the guns were chambered for the .44-40 round, McQueen wore more impressive looking .45-70 rounds in the loops of his gun belt."-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare%27s_Leg----Trivia; McQueen was a USMC tanker in the late '40s."In 1947, McQueen joined the United States Marine Corps and was quickly promoted to Private First Class and assigned to an armored unit.[6] Initially, he reverted to his prior rebelliousness, and as a result was demoted to private seven times. He went UA (unauthorized absence) by failing to return after a weekend pass had expired. He instead stayed away with a girlfriend for two weeks, until the shore patrol caught him. He resisted arrest and as a result spent 41 days in the brig.[6]After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea.[6] He was also assigned to an honor guard responsible for guarding then-U.S. President Harry Truman's yacht.[6] McQueen served until 1950 when he was honorably discharged."-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob B Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) SBRs or rifle caliber pistols DO carry a certain authority but by loosing barrel length you DO loose some velocity with the loss of barrel. What is it....200fps/inch of barrel or something? Those Mares Legs are however neat because they're starting to be made new like that which means they ARE pistols and are not SBRs. If I was more of a Cowboy shooting iron type, I'd get one of those. I'd probably make a pretty good car gun if a bit loud and flashy when firing it. Since it only comes in pistol calibers ( .38/.357, 44spl/.44mag, and .45 colt) with a 12 inch barrel you would actually be gaining velocity. It only holds six rounds, the same as my Ruger Vaquero, and requires two hands to operate, unless your a stunt man. This appeared in the rifleman magazine, and I found the review on line: http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/rossi-ranch-hand-review/ Edited October 19, 2011 by Bob B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Kibbey Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Cool looking, but too big as a pistol, and too small as a rifle. Which is why I'm sorta' in the market for a Winchester 94 "Trapper" in .44 Rem Mag. 16" barrel, shoulder stock. Already have a 94 in 20" 30-30, but would like a Trapper, well, just because....

Colin Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The effect of legislation on firearms is significant, the reason people will pay $900 for a SU-16 or several thousand for a .223 bullpup is because it will take 10rd AR mags, which up here means it's a pistol mag and threfore can have 10rds instead of 5. No doubt there are similar stories troughout the organized world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawes Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Most ridiculed firearm I've ever heard of? That's easy. The Beretta M9 pistol. Judging by feedback and observations of active and ex-military and the Interweb, easily the worst service pistol ever foisted upon the US military (ever). Your mileage may vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoid Maxx Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The M9 being effectively the 92..a very good, good gun. -Easy to shoot well. Slide is good IF your not aiming IPSC style...wide, boxed Glock/1911A1 types are better...but with pistols, for defence are you really aiming or just pointing and shooting? - Conversely, if your using the gun with eyes along sights from target to target, its crap. - Toooooo big for anything other than belt open carry. -Inherent accuracy? Top. Nothing needing re doing. Bottom line? Brilliant...is the gun that's just a TAD better. The CZ75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mileage may vary The ridicule came because it replaced the M1911A1, followed by interminable sour grapes after a few, quickly solved issues. Think of it as the pistol version of the M16 controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob B Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I use to shoot practical pistol with a 92F back when they first got in the spot light in the 1980's. I eventually swapped both of mine for Glocks and never looked back. I didn't the the long DA first shot pull when clearing the holster followed by a short SA pull. It made simple double taps a challenge. With the Glock they are all the same, almost like with the 1911 once you get used to it. But, to each his own. BTW, I do like the Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
