Blackhawk
Saw an ad for an OM Ruger .44 "with a extra .45 Colt cylinder to enable it to fire .45's". Wondering how it fires .45 bullets through a .44 barrel?
Probably for the same reason they call .429's 44's and call .357's 38'sbogus bill said:Don't ask me why they called em .44`s.
Rainy Day Shooter said:Blackpowder revolvers are measured to the lands of the barrel's rifling (narrowest part). Modern smokeless cartridges have since changed to a measurement of the groove (widest part).
