Three Foot Johnson Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I haven't shot this .38 1866 in a few years, so I got it out, cleaned it up, and took it to a match yesterday. Sometime during the match, an inspiration struck... an inspiration to make a 10 shot "Trapper". A 16" Trapper only holds 9, so I did some measuring and determined 17" would work well to hold 10, even with 158 grainers, so by 10:30 last night, the Trapbine was born. Why? Ummm... I got nothin'. I'll step outside this morning and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Absolutely Fine '66 Three Foot I was bitten by the same bug some Lustrum ago. Here is my 1866 TRAPPER in 44 Special. Added an Adirondack Jack specialty carrier block and run it with 44 Russian. 10 in the Magazine just fine. Short guns are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Measured from the case head, there's quite a difference between Mr. Shorty and my 18" revolvers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
