Henry Rifle Forums

Here are two great .44 magnums. Acutually, my favorites.

When I was at the gun store, there were several lever action .44s to choose from. After my experience with my Golden Boy, there was really only one choice for me. It is a great shooter.

Here are a few shots of my combo. I like pictures. I hope everyone else here does.

I like the pictures and the guns! Beautiful holster and belt too.

Very nice. Who made the belt?

Real nice combo, my friend.

not in the same picture (will try to remedy that ) .... our Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag and our Henry Big Boy Steel 44 Mag

Nice, I like the big loop lever on the Steel. Looks good.

Very pretty combination caliber guns! I used to own 15 or so guns (Total back east and a bit more out here.) in the same caliber that could share ammo. My late husband and my MT husband did that too. My late husband only owned a few guns (22lr and 357Magnum calibers.) on purpose in his life. He was more into sail boats and power boats.

Thank you for sharing.

Your belt and holster remind me of my former TRIPLE K leather western belt and holsters when I used to shoot and own several Ruger single action revolvers from the late 90's and on. ( I had several 22lr/ 22wmr firearms, one 357Magnum and one 45Long Colt sweet firearm in s/a revolvers alone. Not counting several d/a revolvers and a few semi automatic pistols. Handguns were MY main thing from the gitgo for many years. I only owned a few rifles back east and, for a time frame out here in MT, I owned more rifles than back east.)

I no longer shoot handguns due to my arthritis and old accident side but I still admire most of them in all flavors!

Great photos, I see that you like a decent sized grip on your Redhawk. I have the same one on mine and a pair of Starrets on my Colt S.A.A.

don't know if you noticed, ours has been Mag-na-ported .... with the grip and the porting its really a pleasure to shoot .... have been using it for about 30 years for hunting and general recreational shooting .... the Aim Point shown is the second one used ... the first was much larger, looked like a rifle scope

The holster is indeed a Triple K. I have one for my .22 handguns in black.

Nice pair daytime dave!!

That Smith.. a 629?
I love that barrel length. What era is it from. Your photos don't show the left side so I can't see if it's got the lawyer lock or not.

Nice Dave. Hard to beat a 44 mag combo.

I didn't notice the magna port at first but now I see it. How much of a problem is it to keep the ports clean?

no problem at all to keep them clean .... I bought a pack of pipe cleaners 3 - 4 years and still have plenty left .... dip one end of the pipe cleaner in what ever cleaning solvent you use and it takes seconds to clean them ... spray whatever oil you like of use the other end of the pipe cleaner and you are good to go

That's a great cleaning idea. I got my 7 1/2" Redhawk right after they first came out. Now that I am shooting it more, I might think about the magnaport idea. Thanks for the information.

Mag-na-porting will change the way the pistol reacts to the recoil from a round being fired .... that will take a bit of getting used to .... instead of the barrel jumping upward, the pistol will come straight back .... I've found that with a two hand hold, allowing the force of the backward thrust to be absorbed by allowing my elbows to flex, gets me back on target much quicker and largely negates the recoil

Thanks again for the experienced comments.
