Almost done with Space Cowboy build…

[semperfisurveyor]

Always wanted a wheel gun/Lever gun in the same caliber…found a Henry Model X in .357 and been having some fun.

Ranger Point Precision has kept my wallet skinny - just need a red dot for my aging eyes.

You know, I'm not a lever gun guy at all, but that, well sh*t, that looks nice.


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Thanks Clyde…been on somewhat of a hiatus - good to be back among you heathens!!

 

[Boriqua]

Very cool! What is the wheel gun its partnered with?

 

[semperfisurveyor]

Currently a model 60…eyes lookin’ hard for a Python tho

Heard the 3” is back in rotation this year…?

Just got the ad from CDNN and they have the 3" python. About $1800. if memory serves. They also have the 3" Cobra.

Yep - sorely tempted but decided I may just have to pull the trigger on a Rex mg7 358 first - I hear these Henry’s are an absolute whisper with 158gr 38spl

My vote would be a snub or 3" Chiappa Rhino.

 

[Boriqua]

I have owned a bunch of revolvers in a variety of sizes .. this is still my very favorite shooter period. Priced about the same as the Cobra now though and doesnt have the cool factor. Still .. I love this gun.

 

[semperfisurveyor]

I did a thing…new wheel gun will have to wait - and ironically so will I

…at least I’ll have a little time to select which shooter will fit the bill.

That a Ruger Boriqua? Which model is that GP100? That’s on my short list as well!

Chiapa Rhino is intriguing…but if memory serves, not an American made piece…?

 

[Solar_Empire]

No it's Italian. Maybe it can count as a spaghetti western though? :lol:

If it has to be American definitely a super blackhawk. To me those are blank canvasses you can really get looking good.

 

[Boriqua]

Its a 3" Ruger GP100 and a smoother softer shooter you wont find. Natural pointer. Love that gun. Might I be in the mind to replace it .. The wiley clap versions are intriguing but I am pretty good with my gutter sight even out to 50 yds.

 

[semperfisurveyor]

Super 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?

50 yards with a 3” revo is damn respectable brother…might need me some practice to come even close to that.

…but with this one tho - maybe

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...

…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 long

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.

Kinda has a stealthily look. Tight build!

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

Well hello stranger! Thank you! How the hell have you been!!??
