How do you all carry additional ammo for pistol caliber rifles? Pocket, belt slider, butt cuff?
Thanks.

I have a butt cuff and belt slider. But I dont carry mine for hunting but if I did I would use those. This is mine on a BBS 41 mag.

I carry a box in my backpack. My BBS in .357 carries 10 + 1 in the rifle. If I need to shoot more than that in the woods around here then something is very wrong.

Ammo wallet-handier than a pocket on a shirt!

I use a belt. Same ammo for rifle and revolver.

Maybe something like this although they are sold out right now

I have a real nice stock cover that holds cartridges, and use it on and off. My rifle looks better without it so 90% of the time I wear a cartridge belt when horseback, with a knife on it....no pistol carry laws here in Canada. Cartridge belt is very handy.

at a range, I carry boxes of ammo in my range bag .... in the woods, I carry a full load in whatever firearm I'm hunting with and an ammo pouch full of spares .... below 44 Mag and 45-75 pouches

Will 41 mag ammo fit 38 cal loops on leather slide?

If my internet searches are correct 38cal is 9.1mm and 41mag is 10.4mm and a dime is 1.35mm thick so they might fit but would probably be pretty snug.

With center fire guns it is usually deer hunting for me. I carry three in the gun and two in my pocket. I sometimes carry a revolver too.

I don’t yet own a Henry, but I carry an extra load in a Simply Rugged ammo pouch, to match my SR Sourdough Pancake holster for my SP101 .327 Fed Mag.

Good stuff, custom features, high quality, hand made in the USA.

I also have a couple of plastic Quick Strips, one of which will fit (loaded) in the pouch. They can be carried open in a pocket.... but I prefer that the ammo be fully protected in a hard container. For a long gun, you would not use the Quick Strips since they are for loading a wheel gun (they present each cartridge “backwards” for a rifle with a tube.

I haven't used my Henry Steel for anything other than deer. I don't carry any extra. I fill the tube and go. Figure if I miss that many times............It's time to go home and re group.

My state restricts some calibers to 10 rounds, so I just fill the tube and go.
No need or reason for extra ammo.

Try wetting the loops and forcing the 41 mags in. It's a great caliber.

Very nice. Where did you get it or did you make it yourself? Please post a photo the shows all of the lever wrap,

Just one of many styles this fellow makes. Very nice quality work. The lever cover comes with it.

I placed a piece of firm 3/8" closed cell foam in the butt to ease some recoil.

For the range? I just throw it in the range bag.

For hunting? If I need more than the magazine can hold, it's time to go back to the range.
