unless both factory mags are bad I don't think it's a mag issue. the Ruger mags are a bit wide but the feed lips are tight. By the way, stingers, winchester, remington and are all doing it. haven't had federal in a while. I'd love to try mini mag and federal match but good luck finding any.

Why do you think you need the longest OAL? Or are you just looking for something that will cycle the bolt better? You wouldn't catch me shooting stingers in any of my guns, but I am pretty picky.
I've used mini mag and stinger for years, had a tackle box gun that wouldn't run anything else.
not sure if longer will help. having feed jam pushing nose under the feed ramp.

took her to the range this past weekend with the smooth Altamont grips. it handled better than with the originals.

ok good people. I have read somewhere that the overall length of 22 LR varies by manufacturer. who produces the longest OAL high velocity 22 LR?
I need to know to feed my SR22

I have to echo the rest of the group. find a Rossi in pistol caliber you already shoot. I've had Rossi revolvers and they are sturdy firearms. my first lever was a 336C Marlin in 30-30, about 1973 vintage if I ran the serial number correctly. It doesn't match your just off the saddle/trail requirement but I prefer the Marlin for rifle caliber. My next lever will be an 1895 45-70 just because I hate my shoulder...
although I wouldn't ignore my own advice. a Rossi 92 in 357 at the right price would change my order of acquisition

Just keep in mind that when you carry off-body it's easy to forget this bag unless you carry it every day.
good advice. exactly what I told my sister. she got a pocket holster.

I carry a Glock 48 IWB (appendix) in a left handed T-Rex holster. In the summertime if my outfit doesn’t permit, I keep it in a crossbody Gun Toting Mama purse. Highly recommend the purse if you don’t mind some razzing from your friends. Lol
I have my eye out for a cross body bag that looks masculine. seems like a good way to carry a large handgun.

WHAT?! that's opposite of what they told my dad. docs can't figure this out after decades of study.

it truly depends on the daily scenario. but for more years than I want to recall, my Kel Tec P32 has been a constant companion no matter what else I carry.

I like it. the shorter heavy barrel and low mount on the scope make it. .35 is on my wish list too.

1. as dependable as an anvil
1a. fits my hand2. recorded fight stopping success
3. balance, heavy enough to shoot quickly/light enough to carry
4. hammer fired
5. auto loading
6. available replacement parts
7. available holsters (multiple)
8. not plastic
my favorite can only muster about half, it's heavy, and has NO support in holster/parts. my new EDC is plastic. I would be fine with my 8 shot revolver but I shoot autos much more naturally.

I am jealous! great score. My wife would approve until she tried to pick it up LOL.

you just cannot bray the finish on an old Colt. This one is exceptional!

Stopped in to Academy in Smyrna Monday and there was ammo on the shelf. Mostly Federal which is my preferred brand. 45, 9mm including HST and Punch, 30-30 and several others. No 32ACP and no 300 BO, and no 357 mag. 32 and 357 being the two I need to build stock in and do not reload. they also had a few reloading components, No primers by the time I got there but they may have had them earlier. They didn't carry powder before so that was not there. I am only set up to reload 30-30 and .45ACP so I have to rely on what is on the shelf for other calibers. That there is anything on the shelf is encouraging in itself, like someone else said, after the loaded ammo is caught up, the components will come back. I am all but out of LRP myself and have less than half a box of bullets so I won't be shooting that but I have 45 and a lot of shotshells so I can still shoot. Good luck finding what you need as it is still hit and miss.(no pun intended). right place at the right time is all you can hope for now.

it looks nice anyway. I am not educated in rifle actions but since you tried 30-06 I assume it is long action so that leaves the short 300 magnums out? I would use it to make a nice custom since I like anything .30 caliber.

If that’s the case, one would have to cede that the first two did not work.
I find it quite the spectacle watching otherwise intelligent people contorting themselves into knots defending what they’ve been talked into doing, and trying to get others to follow suit.
if you got the shots you don't need a mask,,,oh wait, yes you do, maybe, uh, you need a booster, no, no you don't, oh hell yes you do.
we have to mandate the shot to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. The clown in chief ACTUALLY said that???-

You have my prayers. Christ taught us to lift up our brothers in prayer,
My sister's pastor and his wife were diagnosed with Covid, he is recovering and she is having a difficult time. Pray for them as well.

Not sure what you paid for it but thats pretty darn cool. Stuff like that always removes $ from my wallet. Hard to pass up on sweet displays of history. Good find for sure. Congrats..
Ah yes, I had to put $350 into it. Twice what an Iver Johnson in similar condition would have cost but not much more than a 3inch US Revolver model with 3 inch barrel. Seems the 5 inch US revolver in 38 S&W is rare. I olan to research the serial number and production numbers to see what pops up. Best of all, my wife approved before I committed to the buy.

I picked up Friday. I found it at the flea market between Manchester and Tullahoma. Fred's booth is a lot of fun. not sure about the US Revolver but the two silver badges appear to be authentic Pinkerton as does the brass New York Central Railway Police badge. There are three large and three small Pinkerton uniform buttons and the box of 38 S&W holds 48 rounds, Of course the "Golden Spike" is just painted. The revolver is functional aside from the ejector. Finish is non-existent and there is much pitting. I will test fire it when I find a box of ammo but this will be a display piece. Just wish I had documentation on the history of what appears to be an authentic retired railroad detective's service memento.
If you know this to be a fraud,,,don't tell me
