Mares Leg cal?

[snypr]

Thanks to a shameless touch of mall-neensha, I mostly favor the tactical weapons but when rolling into my LGS i spied a mares leg in .357/38....

I had never seen one before and didnt even know they existed...however it hasnt left my mind....

Is there a preference between the .357 vs .44 in the mares leg platform? are there other calibers?

Any input is appreciated, thanks guys.

I couldnt help but wonder if the mares leg was any part of a contributor to the beginning of "tactical".?

I personally would go with the 357 mag as other calibers will pack quite a punch. Even though it has a stock, from what I have seen, it is very difficult to shoulder the stock to support more stout loads.

It is through single shot exemption.

Consider if you really really want one. I heard (have no personal experience, so ... grain of salt here) that it can be awkward to shoot. Too short to shoulder, too long to hold as a pistol.

I mean, it's cool and all...but do you really want it? I mean, you'll have to get that long holster for it too!

Full length rossi 92s are around 450 or so I think.

I went with the Rossi in 38/357 from EBR Works as I have other revolvers in that caliber as well as regular lever action M92 rifle. All that needs to be done to single shot it is a wooden dowel. It's great fun to shoot and an attention getter at the range.
