Rifle/Revolver Pairs

[mtgianni]

Not much of a photographer but
92 Rossi and a 357 Blackhawk
Ruger 9mm carbine and a CZ75
H&R 357 Max Handi Rifle paired with a 10" Contender 357 Max bbl.
I won't count the 22's.

 

[Dvus]

A Cimarron 1873 Winchester in .45 Colt and 7 different (one for every day of the week) Colt SAAs.
Ruger Bull barreled 10/22 and a Ruger Govt. Target
Marlin 20A .22 pump and Smith K-22 Combat Masterpiece
AR9 carbine and STI Racemaster in 9mm for fun.

[BAM-BAM]

Like it... but my revolver is either a 3" 66 or 3" 60-10..... the Ruger has a 1-3x20 scope.

Here ya go. All 3 are .45colts. And a faux pair from The Great War.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

For the record, the rifle revolver pairings of the Old West, if such there were, NEVER included the .45 Colt because it was only in the late 20th century that anyone made a lever rifle that could handle the .45/c. (Ejection was a problem - I forget the details)

.44-40 was the most common pairing, then probably .32-20 and the .38-40.

That doesn't count single shot pistols and flintlocks, or any oddities.

 

[Baltimoreed11754]

But these three are Ubertis from the Old West of Italy. You know the Spaghetti Western part.

I have an original Ruger Police Carbine 9mm with factory ghost ring. Along with a Walther 9mm. Someday I might get a Ruger handgun and the 2 can share magazines. But the pair I'm most fond of is my 60s vintage Ruger 44carbine complete with Skinner peep sight, and my trusty 629. Both eat and digest Winchester White Box superbly.

When they first came out they used what's called a balloon head case. The area around the primer cup was hollow. And a 45 Colt had extremely small rims. Did not need a large rim because it was used in a single action and the ejection rod went down the inside of the case.


When they change from balloon head cases to solid head cases, they were then able to machine and extractor groove above the rim, and now there was a place for the rifle's extractor to grab the case to pull it out.

S&W 500 with Big Horn Armory also shoots S&W 500. Go big or go home!

I was reading through the thread and thought of a couple more combinations.

A fun combination is my Henry 22LR carbine and Ruger Single Six. Second is my Winchester 62A and S&W K22. Third is my Thompson TCR22 with the barracuda stock and carbon fiber barrel mated with my S&W performance center Victory with the carbon fiber barrel.

M1 Carbine and Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine!

 

[ACP230]

I have a Marlin 1894 FC in .41 Magnum.
I could pair it with several .41 Magnum handguns.
Right now the most likely would be a three inch 657.
Or one of the Ruger Redhawks, or a New Model Blackhawk
in .41, or...

 

[fishcreekrim]

I approach this from a slightly different direction, a 10" contender w/Burris ffiii and a Remington model seven w/4 power scope both in .223.

This gives me a handgun that shoots farther than many of the carbines listed and an honest 300yd plus carbine. JMHO/YMMV

 

[Wyo]

This isn't a pair in the usual sense - they don't use the same cartridge though they are both .45 caliber. But they were sure paired together 149 years ago and for about 25 years thereafter. This was a pair that saw some exciting times.

 

[S&W Fan]

Old photo of my 1991 Rossi Model 92 in .357, 1973 S&W 19-3 Texas Ranger. Got the rifle from a neighbor, rode in his truck more than fired. It's a hoot! I've since added leather wrap to the lever, the revolver has gone to a new home but I still have my 686 no dash to pair it up with .

 

[.357magger]

Okay, so they're not in the same caliber, and one is not a revolver...but they helped win World War 2, and that's more than good enough for me.

I only have one combo that fits the thread "rules" otherwise...a Marlin 39a and a pre war H&R Model 199 Single Action Sportsman. Both are absolute tack drivers.

 

[Catwrangler]

I have a Rossi 92R 38-357 Trapper in stainless that I match w/ a 6" 586ND or a 64 4". My .22 combo set is a '67 10/22 with a '56 Combat Masterpiece. Either of these shared combos work or I can mix and match.

 

[Baltimoreed11754]

Here's a pair of gangster .45s.

 

[heeter3]

A Henry Bigboy in 357/38 and a model 19 or 14 depending on what rounds I'm using.

 

[Charlie Foxtrott]

I have a pair of guns that are very handy.

How about a Miroku Winchester model 1892 and a S&W model 25-7. Both in .45 Colt. I still do have to carry two different loadings for them though. The 300 grain Hornady XTPs on top of twenty grains of Winchester 296 that I load for the Winchester would turn the revolver into junk in fairly short order.

 

[BRush]

45 ACP Custom and Marlin 45-70.

 

[AJ]

45 ACP Custom and Marlin 45-70.

I want to see those .45-70 rounds fit into the .45 ACP revolver. There have been several revolvers chambered for the .45-70 cartridge, just not a S&W.

 

[quikdraw67]

I got a Rossi M92 .357 Magnum to match up with my Ruger Bisley.

When I get it, I'll post pics of all 3 pairs of Bisleys and lever guns

 

[Ivan the Butcher]

A paring I have carried in the woods several times and didn't remember earlier: A Savage 24 in 357/20 gauge and my 686. A similar pair I've never carried together is a 24-C (camper) 20" 22/20 gauge and my 34-1.

Here's a pair of gangster .45s.

Out of multiple showings of VERY nice pairs, I like yours the best.

Got any more pics?

 

[hivel37]

Here's my contribution.
Model 9422 SRC, Frontier Scout, a well-used Barlow.
Would've loved the 9422 when I was 14.

 

[steelslaver]

Here is my S&W 45 colt revolving carbine and my 6 1/2 pinned and recessed 5 screw 45 colt.

The carbine was built using a modified Brazilian frame and the 6 1/2" using a 1955 frame and barrel fitted with a recessed 44 mag cylinder reamed to 45 colt.

Other side of the carbine to show how ejector rod swings past forearm with a 6" pinned and recessed 5 screw 45 colt made using an early Highway Patrolmen and a blue 44 mag cylinder reamed to 45 colt

 

[AJ]

As promised. Three firearms in .45 Colt. The carbine is a Pedersoli Colt Lightning .45 Colt, notice it is a pump not a lever gun. The revolver on the left is a S&W 25-9 and the one on the right is a Colt Model 1909 U.S. Army.
