LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Had my hands on one a week ago. Pretty neat, a bit stiff, but looked well made. Didn't get to shoot it, and knowing the guy who bought it...it'll never be shot until he's dead and someone else gets it. He'll hang it on the wall and admire it from across the room.

DocWard Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hmmm... Since it is considered a pistol, if the magazine could be plugged to limit it to 3 round capacity, I would assume it could be used for deer in Ohio, where you are limited to shotgun, blackpowder or handgun (with barrel longer than 5"). I would assume the longer barrel would mean higher velocity and possibly better accuracy. Not sure how many, if any would get used for that, but it is a thought. .45 Colt/.410 combo would seem to also make a reasonable home defense firearm. Otherwise, I suppose it is good for those people who like things that are "cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Odd thing about this model. There must be a market for it, or it would not be on the pages of American Rifleman Magazine. People's taste and needs in firearms is so different. I watch where someone will make a statement about this firearm or that, and I think, "I wouldn't care for that." Or I might say, "Hey, that is neat, I want one too." Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barterin Bill Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I wouldn't mind having one to keep on the tractor to shoot rats and snakes. Of course it would need a Nate slick up job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barterin Bill Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Looks like the Ranch Hand is made like a cut down 92, while the Trail Judge (45lc/.410) looks like it's made on the Marlin design. It's a side ejector. The Ranch Hand says it holds 6 .45lc, so the Trail Judge probably only holds 3 3" .410. I'm sure many deer have been taken with .410 slugs, but I think I'd rather have a longer barrel if they were going to be more tham about 30 yds.
