Trigger Mike Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I want a 44 magnum SAA style pistol My dad gave me a 44 mag rifle and I want a 44 mag pistol to go with it since I have so many magnum shells. I know it will shoot 44 S & W but I want it to shoot both as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtwater Doc 17941 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ruger Old Model Vaqueros are are closest you'll find. The Virginian Dragoons as well but are hard to find. The Colt SAA design is too weak to support 44 magnum pressures. DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Here is one on a gun auction site: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=331321823. Though no longer in production Ruger Old Model Vaqueros as still available on the used market. They are heavy revolvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake1001 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Look for Guns made by J.P.Sauer and Sohn in Germany. Hawes Western Marshall makes .44 mag. I have several. Also other importers like F.I.E. out of Miami Fl. (Firearms Import Export). Also Arminius by H. Weihrauch. They are all made by J.P. Sauer. Strong as a Tank, Great quality guns. Here is a pic of one. http://www.gunblast.com/images/MilesFortis-AKChurch_BuffaloBore/Hawes.jpg and a pic of the Arminius. http://picturearchive.gunauction.com/8730121216/10044022/mg_0334.jpg_thumbnail1.jpg Also Hy Hunter in .44 Mag http://cdn2.armslist.com/sites/armslist/uploads/posts/2011/11/23/235579_01_hy_hunter_single_action_22_640.jpg Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The EAA Bounty Hunter (formerly Arminius) is also available in .44mag. Stoutly built...only drawback I've noticed is a really lonnng hammer throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdy Ranger Rick Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Check The OutdoorsTrader website on a daily basis, under Handgun Section. In a matter of a few months you'll be able to get a Ruger Vaquero .44 Mag. in SS or blued. It may take several months to acquire a pair, and you'll be very, very lucky to get 2 that actually match. You'll have better luck getting 2 Ruger Blackhawks in .44 Mag. and although buying separately, good chances getting a matched pair. Vaqueros will be $400-$550 range, Blackhawks $350-$500. www.theoutdoorstrader.com/forum.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 BTW - The "Deputy" version of the Virgin Dragon has fixed sights. Traded off a 6" Stainless model a few years before discovering CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Freedom Arms is another consideration. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashpowder Hal Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I used a pair of Ruger Blackhawks in 44 mag for 4 years, I shot .44 SPL reloads, with 200 gn lead bullets, They are low-cost and totally reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Uberti also made a .44Mag version of the Regulator. I've seen exactly 2- I own one and a guy that I shot CAS with about 10 years ago had another one. both of us thought the other should sell his so one of us could have a matched pair. Needless to say, that one never happened. Both had 6 inch (not 5.5 inch) barrels and are slightly larger than the .45Colt Uberti's I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 My first CAS guns were stainless Ruger Bisleys in .44 mag. I use .44 Russians in them. I still use them for BP matches with APP. Again, with Russians as a full case of APP in .44 mag. is somewhat stiff and I'm getting real old. I still use .44 mag. in my Marlin. I did not like using .44 Spl. as they were too hard to sort from the Mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I had forgotten about the black hawk. I think I will look for either a Vaquero or blackhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I love my old model Vaqueros in 44 mag. The Blackhawk is a solid gun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think now that my dad who gave me the 44 magnum Rossi lever action is really bad off I am wanting to carry it more and want a pistol to go with it for sake of using the same caliber. I don't want to really use it for cowboy shooting so much as a rifle to carry around the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 According to the Ruger website the New Model Super Blackhawk is 44 Rem Mag. original model Ruger Vaqueros came in 44 Rem Mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hard to go wrong with any Ruger. The Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk are extremely dependable and have sites that be adjusted for various loads and ranges. The old-model Vaqueros are excellent guns but you will have to either adjust the sites and loads for POA=POI or keep ranges under 25 yards. Using the rifle as a main gun and the revolver as a backup, this should not be a problem. The Rossi 1892 is a strong gun but will last longer if you stay with 240-grain bullets at factory velocities.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Something to consider. A pistol and a rifle will shoot a single load differently. You may find an issue with accuracy in one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good price too. Add that one down to the should have bought it list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 local toy store had a blackhawk but hey wanted 549 so I opted to wait and find the vaquero in 44 Mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Pony Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey Mike, take a look at Amoskeag Auctions, open up the silent auction catalog and start browsing. IIRC they had a stainless vaquero in 44Mag listed and are happy to work with folks by phone, fax or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
