    My understanding there is no issue 'firing' a 38, it's whether or not the rifle will cycle them. From what I've read, some do some don't.

    My understanding, it's the same with the Marlin 1894 44 Mag / 44 Spl, some rifle's do not like to cycle the 44 Spl.
    I have not tried 44 Spl. in my 1894 44 Mag / 44 Spl.

    I did use mine in CAS matches so I took mine apart and smoothed it out all the surfaces. But even before then I dont recall any issues with 38.

    But I hear ya, YMMV.

    I just got my (electronic) issue of Rifle Mag. Vol. 298. The new 1894CS got a very good write-up from Brian Pearce.

    My doctor asked if anyone in my family was suffering from mental illness.

    Nice. Looking forward to grabbing one of these! Would be nice if they came in a 45LC as well.

    Agreed. Someone here on CGN, although I don't remember who- maybe Geologist, has one of the older ones and worked up some real "thumper" loads with 300 gr. cast bullets as I recall.

    That being said, I have a serious temptation for one of the 12" or 16" .357 Chiappas from Wanstall's.

    I've been lurking around a few websites looking for the first signs of the 357's hitting the Canadian market . ATM there are a few 1894's in 45LC/45 Colt at a several different retail outlets, you'll just have to search around.

    Epps has a Limited edition, a Cowboy and a couple other 1894's in 45 Colt on their site ATM
    Wolverine has a couple as well, a 1894 45 Colt and a 1894 45 Colt Octagon Barrel
    I know of another couple of sites, but they are not a sponsors so I'll not mention.

    The 1894's in 44 Mag/44 Spl's have been slowly but surely disappearing from the retailers racks since Christmas. Glad I got my 44 Mag/44 Spl when I did, not many left out there.

    Damn! Thanks!

    I guess I will be holding onto my 44Mag model too.

    Hope to see these come out soon. Anyone hear any rumblings yet?
