Section 8: Handguns Subject: M325 Nightguard Msg# 852910

| For me, 6 shots is plenty, but I recognize other frames/guns can hold more and when you couple that with speed of reload, it is just something to consider. I had really thought about a .357, but that would break my rule of no new calibers and now that ammunition is scarce, I would really need to stick with something I stock, which would be 9mm or .45. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If the six shot .45/.44/.41 is not enough, there is always the .357, which is either a 7 or 8 shooter. I don't recall if they build them on the 686 frame (7 shot) or 627 frame (8 shot) without looking. If I were as enthusiastic as you, I'd consider having whichever I chose, if not the .45, which comes this way, converted to accept moon clips. With dedicated practice, you wouldn't be short-changed. Considering that most guys practice far less than they should, eh? I'm not sure if it holds any interest, but there is always the Ruger Redhawk with a 4" barrel (below) or the Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 Magnum with a 2.5" barrel (bottom). The Super Redhawk is a beast, and weighs 4oz. more than a full-size 1911. The Redhawk is more compact--not compact in any sense

--but more so than the Super Redhawk, but weighs 2oz more due to a longer barrel. The Redhawk comes in .45 Colt, however, and with Buffalo Bore and Double Tap, you have very good .45 Colt loads at your disposal. The Redhawk also comes in .44 Magnum of course, and those companies also offer great loads not only in .44 Magnum, but in .44 Special. Though a Super Redhawk as a vehicle for .44 Special loads, even hot ones, seems somehow wrong, eh?
