Brings back memories of a lever gun I enjoyed, a Marlin 39A, only 22 caliber but a lot of fun and very accurate.

I'm about to change my ".45 game" a bit. I've had a Blackhawk .45 convertible for several months, but in the last day or so had the chance to trade it for a Redhawk in .45 Colt, with a 4.2" barrel. I've wanted a Redhawk in .45 Colt for quite some time now, and this deal just fell in my lap....
I'm supposed to make the trade Sat morning, and plan to take it to the range immediately afterwards.
So now, my combo will be the Rossi in .45 Colt, paired with the Redhawk in .45 Colt.
I have a stainless Blackhawk in .357 to pair with my Henry levergun in .357, so I'm pretty much set.
Then all I "need" is the 1911 I've been looking at.....

Yes, they are nice.... I had all 3 of the Redhawks when they first came out.... my favorite was the 5.5" 41 magnum... the 5.5" 357 magnum was nice, but too much gun for that caliber (now they make them with 8 round cylinders.... more appropriate for the size)
My 44 mag was the 7.5" version, and I never got attached to it. I ended up trading them all off for one thing or another.... then the .45 Colt Redhawk came out.... I've wanted one since then, but just never got around to it.
I figure I'll have the Redhawk for the 45 Colt, and a 1911 for the 45 ACP.... that should cover the 45 spectrum.... I don't need anything more powerful than those...

Last weekend, I got to try out the Redhawk, and it's nice... the DA trigger pull is slick...
I also shot my Ruger 10/22 that I recently put a new Vortex scope on....
I sighted it in on the red center bull, then shot at the little orange pasters. My best group was the 5 shots at the 9 o'clock position on the edge of the red bull area... it's about 1/2"...
The groups on the orange pasters are all .8" or less.... and the group at the bottom left is 20 rounds of CCI Blazer ammo, in about an inch.
All the other groups were with CCI Standard Vel rounds.
I'm pleased... this shows promise for being a very accurate rifle.... all the groups were at 50 yards...

Wolf was one brand, a little rough on extractors in some weapons, yet any steel used for a case should be much softer that the steel for the firearm.
The 32 was a long time, just for fun, project, a friend has 2 plated revolver, H&R and Iver Johnson, police revolvers from way back when, 32 was enough, probably still is, being here in the Idiot Tube Society everyone thinks they need more and more power like in the movies.
I'm also thinking on a case of 9mm, 124 gr. is about as cheap as 115, probably make the machine run better.
