Not sure if this is where this belongs, but here goes. every time i buy a new handi i build a shell belt to go with it, that of course requires a handgun to go on the belt. so what handguns do handi owners match with rifles afield.
45/70- ruger black hawk 45 long colt
308- ruger security six 357
58 cal- 44cal navy
30-06- ruger black 44 mag
223- ruger SSS 22 mag

wiley,

I like all 5 of your combos, and I assume the both guns of combo #3 smoke when you shoot them. Some folks like to have the pistol chamber the same round as their long gun, of course that would be tough on a fella that hunts with a 12 ga USH.

Yep they sure do, forgot to add a S&W 22A whenever i carry the single shot shotguns, for snakes and such

Ruger New Model Black Hawk 45 LC Classic carbine 45 LC, Same loads.
Taurus PT145 Pro 45 ACP Handi 45 ACP Carbine, Same Loads
S&W 657 Classic Hunter 41 Mag Handi No funds, yet. Future project, same loads.
Comanche 410/45LC Handi 410 Tamer, buck shot in the handgun, number 8 in the Tamer. 3" in both.

I look at it the other way.

I say the 45-70 Handi should be matched-up with a BFR in 45-70.

The same could be said for a .450 Marlin Handi rifle.

Better someone else than me though...

Thanks, Dinny

just like the thought that grab the belt that matches the gun knife included, makes those last minute hunting excursions easy

The obvious: 500 S&W The not so obvious: 7.62 Tokarev My CZ 52 pistol and my stubbbed Tokarev Handi rifle!

Dinny got close, but how about BFR 22 hornet with a Handi 22 hornet?

I like my 45LC Classic Carbine with my .45 Colt Blackhawk the best.

Secondary is the .45-70 BC and the blackhawk.

I bought a 3 screw .44 mag super blackhawk to go with my .44 mag Handi. I don't plan on sharing ammo between the 2 but it's nice to know they can...

Yah, same with the .45 LC, I make special carbine loads, but it is nice to know if I ran out, the others work. POI is slight different, but not significantly so.

petemi · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2011, 04:18:37 AM »

.357 Blackhawk with the Maxi, .45LC single six with the BC Carbine, and soon a .32-20 revolver to match the Handi.

Pete

wileynet · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2011, 07:19:02 AM »

who makes the 32-20, looking at a 7mm-08 needs a new handgun to go with it or maybe a 327

Rodland · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2011, 08:31:42 AM »

.357 Blackhawk with the Handi 357 Max. Would love to have a 22 mag to go with my Handi 20 ga.

I was thinkin' about getting a 12ga. flare gun to go with Ol' Ugly OverKill.......not to shoot, just for the dramatic conversation effect

I've carried a Bisley Blackhawk along with a 45 carbine and back when i had a Winchester Trapper in 45 Colt and had the 45-70 stowed away as my heavy. I would cast my own Lee 300 grain bullets and tried paper patching some for the 45-70 but never really got the results i wanted

Kill and cook you quarry with one shot, I like it.

I must be live in one of the backwards state (OH) as we can have only one hunting device while in the field. Only way to carry a second weapon is if you have a CCW permit and the carry piece cannot be used for hunting, just protection.

44 Mag handi and 7.5" 44 Mag Super Black Hawk of course

But then again the 44 SBH goes well with just about any outfit for hunting.

ibgp3 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2011, 03:55:58 PM »

Somedays, just the 22 Hornet pistol.

Somedays the rifle too.

tacklebury · « **Reply #19 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:44:31 PM »

Jimney that scope's near as big as the pistol.

lol

olafhardtB · « **Reply #20 on:** October 17, 2011, 02:51:59 AM »

As a joke I thought about an airweight 22 revolver with a 500s&w. But now that I think a little more, it sounds like a useful combo.

Colt, S&W and Ruger have made them. I'm not sure if there is any current production. I't'd be a very nice toy.

I have a 32-20 revolver, and for all (my) practical purposes a 38Sp (or .357Mag loaded with them) does as well or better.

mcwoodduck · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2011, 11:09:07 AM »

Since I hunt all over the place and for different things.
Most of the time if I am carrying a centerfire rifle I carry a rimfire handgun.
and vise versa.

What about the Tacticool guys?

Even worse, that 9mm is gone toward the purchase of a GBlock
