A Hot 44 is enough for me, in a handgun.

Amen, Buddy.

All I can say is....WHY!

Huh? Seems like the chamber length of a 45/70 in a 4.25” barrel won’t leave much “barrel”.

Mark, I looked it up as a cal. I don't load for or shoot. 2.52".
So as I stated about 1.75" of barrel.

RP

I think I will get one of those so I can let people that annoy me at the range shoot it. I shoot the light loads and give the annoying party the full house stuff. Ya I know I am sick.

And I thought my 45LC was powerful...

It can be, not 45-70 powerful.
Leverjc, Only reason to have it.

Another useless gun.............

Seven hundred clams for a two barreled hand full of dynamite? The only way to shoot that as a 45-70 would be to load two round balls over about 5 grains of bullseye or a shot load with a roll crimp on the end of the brass.
