win 38-55..thanks..i appreciate your effort to be clear. that's great. now i just need some long dough...!
come to think of it, do you know much about s&w from that period? i've been leaning toward a new model, but i'm wondering if that's as 'cowboy' as a schofield; ie, was it used in the old west also? the russian ones are neat too, but that extra finger guard under the trigger guard looks like trouble..
and how do the following 'acceptable' cartridges compare, at pressure levels that would be safe to use in an antique?
.44 special
.44 russian
.45 acp
and which do you think is a more robust design i terms of handling pressures, the s&w or a SAA?
if you don't have time to answer this, don't worry about it. but reading some of your posts, it looks like this is your area of expertise...
thanks again.
