Re: What Can I Say, I Love Leverguns
I've got 7 leverguns now, 4 Rossi's, 2 Marlins, 1 Winchester. But that genre is DEFINITELY where my current interests lie!

Re: What Can I Say, I Love Leverguns
My stable of leverguns isn't large but it's varied enough to cover all the bases for most anything in North America. At least one of them goes on every outing shooting.

Re: What Can I Say, I Love Leverguns
Nice collection there.
I'm not intending to pull everything out of the home defense locker any time soon but I need to do an 'annual' cleaning and wipedown.
I finally got my latest .44 mag out to the range. It's a 29-2 that looked a bit like yours except for the coloration.
I absolutely HATED it the first trip out to the range. I shot it side by side with my 629 Classic Comp and found the traditional target grips stank on ice. I wound up buying a set of Hogue finger groove square butt rubber grips for it and got it out a second time and the difference was AMAZING! The gun was MUCH more controllable and I didn't feel like I was getting hammered in the web of my hand every shot no matter how I tried to hold the gun. I MIGHT eventually order some Hogue wood grips for it but but the cheap rubber monogrips are so much better than the S&W factory wood it ain't even funny.

Re: What Can I Say, I Love Leverguns
Thanks! Yeah, my paws are too small for an N frame, and I can't do the standard target grips. But with an L frame and Arhends undersized target grips, I'm well satisfied. I'm not a fan of rubber or finger grooves.
