…bug has me pretty well bitten with this build. 44mag, 45LC or a 45/70 will be added if/when they present themselves…only prerequisite is a loading side gate - that’s what kept me from adding a Henry for so damn longXJThrottle wrote: ↑September 10th, 2022, 2:13 pm Dig that lever.
I'm on a similar mission, but in 44mag. I've got a blacked out Redhawk and absolutely NEED a model X to match. That is the last gun on my "must own" list...not counting MGs. My co-worker has one he won in a raffle. I've tried just about everything to get him to trade me for it...

Re: Almost done with Space Cowboy build…
Unfortunately nothing to write home about. Had a buddy that had one of the first ones to hit the states. It was definitely heavier than a Smith but I know they have trigger kits out for them.semperfisurveyor wrote: ↑September 10th, 2022, 1:47 pmSuper Blackhawk is one I hadn’t considered…thank you for another excellent suggestion! Prefer to keep my $ out of China - so an Italian in not out of the question…how’s the trigger in a Chiapa anyway?wrote:
No it's Italian. Maybe it can count as a spaghetti western though?
If it has to be American definitely a super blackhawk. To me those are blank canvasses you can really get looking good.

Drop me a line if you see one come available locally - more than open minded about trying something out of the box…definitely fits the ‘space Cowboy’ motif=Unfortunately nothing to write home about.

I have a Marlin CST in .38/.357 and yeah, with light wad-cutter target loads, its nearly as quiet as a suppressed .22!semperfisurveyor wrote: ↑September 10th, 2022, 7:18 am I hear these Henry’s are an absolute whisper with 158gr 38spl
I describe it as "mouse fart" quiet.

Re: Almost done with Space Cowboy build…
My GP100 is blued with a 5" barrel. Fantastic gun. Many many years ago I traded for it... I gave them a first generation SW9 Sigma for it. For once in my life I'm definitively the winner...
