Our .45-70 shooters here need this back up gun!
Now I have owned a 7.5 inch BFR revolver in .45-70 and this will be a handful! https://www.americanrifleman.org/articl ... 3375062d86
However with short barrel most of the slow rifle powder will go out the barrel...use Unique loads for it!

I can't imagine holding onto that Thunder Snub when it fires a 45-70 round ..
.. if fired at night, its flash will be blinding ....

After the recoil and it flies back and hits me in the head, guess it won't matter much what happens next...

If I had some "extra" bones in my hand, I might give it a try. Think I'll pass. LOL

Not sure, but, if you need a 'back up' for a 45-70, you may want to check your predicaments better.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Never hunted with 45-70, but
will say the two animals that I shot with my 444
didn't require a backup.
Even though I usually have one.
just a double 4 though.
