It's a fun gun for plinking or informal target shooting.
It holds 9 rounds of 45 Colt or 10 rounds of 45 Schofield. I lugged it around in the mountains with me for years and put a lot of rounds through it at the range too. I have a 94 Winchester Trapper Carbine that I got in the late 80s as a companion piece for my M25. The '92s look traditional enough and if you're not planning on scoping it, will do you exceedingly fine. For them, you need a modern 1892 or clone or a Marlin.Īs to tradition, Marlin makes this caliber in its "Cowboy" version, which looks pretty traditional to me. Regardless, you are talking "Ruger Only" or "+P" type 45 Colt loads which are way too hot for the three guns I mentioned. I consider "Standards" to be a bit hotter than Cowboy loads, which are a rather recent phenomenon.
These are weak actions as I said in another post on this thread and should not be used with anything more than standard 45 Colt loads or maybe even Cowboy loads. If you are speaking of a toggle-link action, of which the Henry, 18 models are, then not just "no" but "HELL NO". Not crazy about most Marlin guns but if they made a more classic looking gun I'd take a look. Looking to spend maybe $500-$1,000 for an accurate gun. Practice with heavies and hunt with heavies. Not gonna shoot cowboy loads in this gun. If not what could I get that could hit a deers' vitals or hog at 50-100 yards with open sights? Action didn't seem like a super strong looking design to me, but I'm no engineer! Can these uberti guns handle 300 grain cor bon and buffalo bore hunting loads? It was a 24 or 25" octagon barreled gun with a case hardened looking receiver and slick as could be. Really want a lever gun in the same chambering after my smith showed me a Uberti in 45 c today. Love shooting my ruger blackhawk in 45 colt. I think some versions of the '92 are now even available in stainless, if you want the ultimate in weather protection. On the '92s, you just have to look gun-to-gun to see how smooth the action is and if you want it. The '94 Marlin is a solid gun and the way to go if you desire a scope. These are Brazilian-made guns and the newer ones may be a bit smoother than older versions. I'm not specifically familiar with the Chiappa. That pretty much leaves the 1894 Marlin or 1892 Winchester clones. Otherwise, unless you just like them, get something more modern. They are great for portrayls and cowboy action shooting, if that's your thing. They are archaic actions generally tied to bulkier and sometimes heavier guns than needed. As was said, the longer action isn't conducive to trouble-free operation. It sounds like you want a general all-around plinker/hunter. Those seem to have been solved for the most part. The 45 Colt wasn't readily available in levers for a long period of its existence due to the shape of its brass (straight walled case) and the feeding problems it created.
