Title: Long guns chambered in pistol calibers?
Post by: Moonclip on October 18, 2008, 01:55:20 AM
I like the concept at times, can be taken to all indoor ranges, a good next step when training novices after a .22lr rifle, can be a decent defensive weapon. 

I have a Destroyer bolt action in 9mm Largo,Winchester 94 in .357mag,Rossi mod 92 clone in .44mag,Ruger PC4 .40,Marlin Camp 9 9x19,I used to have a Marlin Camp .45. 

A Ruger 77/44 .44mag would be neat or a deerfield if it was not imited to 4 rounds in the newer models. 

I also have handguns in the same chamberings, some that take the same mags even such as my Marlin Camp 9 and Daewoo DP51 which both take S&W magazines. 

I alos have some crossover with .22lr rifles and handguns and also .30carbine and .223 rifles and handguns.

My friend had a pump-action IMI made 16" .357 mag carbine. It was sweet to shoot and chrono'd over 2100 FPS. I'll remember the name in a minute.
The S&W K frame or Ruger Sec Six in 38 / 357 was the natural companion. Great combo.
Also I have shot the Coonan 357 1911 style pistol and it's very good too. Worked and shot very well.

It would sure be nice to get a HK MP5 in 10mm to go with my Delta Elite. So much more power potential than 9mm or .45 and still easy to shoot in the large HK. I think LE would be better of with this than AR15 / M16 5.56 in cities.

Some day I will get a Winchester Trapper (16" 1894) in 44 mag or 45LC.
Great mates to Ruger single actions.

IMI is called the Timberwolf, also came in .44mag.  Gunaria has a Coonan. 

I'd get the trapper in .44mag, the .45lc is known for feeding probs, remember, there was no long guns really in .45lc in the old west days fotr a reason I guess.  But rifles and handguns chambered in .44-40,.38-40 and .32-20 were common.

Timberwolf...correct...thank you!

I have shot the Win 94 Trapper in 44 mag and it was great.
Nice home defence gun instead of a black rifle...LOL

They should make an AR pistol in .45.

I have a thing for same caliber pistol and carbine combos, same magazines if possible.
45LC - Vaquero and Winchester 94
9mm - HiPoint C9 and 995TS
45ACP - Ballester Molina and Rheinland Arms Mauser Conversion (work in progress)
40S&W - Glock 22 and Kel Tec Sub 2000
45ACP - 1911 and Mechtech (work in progress on an 80% frame)
9mm - 92FS and Chiappa M1-9
44MAG - S&W 629 and Ruger 44 (just got it yesterday!)
45LC - Ruger Alaskan and Rossi Circuit Judge (3 caliber quasi combo)
I would like to find a pump 357 (Timberwolf or Thunderbolt) to go with my GP100 just to have a different action type, probably will end up with a Rossi 92.

I've heard of people converting Uzi mags for the Taurus CT9 since Taurus couldn't import mags >10rds.

That might be fun but I don't have either to start out with.
I was thinking of converting my Cobray PM11/9 to take Sten mags and then building a semi Sten mkii, it would a heavy combo though.

I posted that and wasn't even thinking about the California magazine restrictions. I don't believe anyone makes a BB for a CT9 either.

Sorry, not trying to rub it in your faces or anything, I just forget sometimes.

Big fan of pistol caliber carbines. I like them in lever guns.

 I have a .357 Magnum Marlin 1894CS. a .357 Magnum Rossi 92 and a .44 Magnum Browning 92 - all great fun to shoot, and amazingly accurate, too... fairly flat trajectories to 125 yds.  I also have a little Henry H001M in .22 mag that's fun to shoot.

I'd shoot nothing but that Browning (Miroku) 1892 but I'm not reloading yet and decent name-brand .44 mag is +/- .71 per rd. Might as well shoot milsurp X 51/.308 all the time, then.
