.44 Magnum vs .45 Colt Guns For Sale

June 20, 2014 | 0 Comments

The .45 Colt has been around long enough to have a solid reputation, since 1873 in fact. It has fought in numerous wars and proved reliable in all. The only blight on its service record was the original frames would not withstand additional pressure. It was this fact that led to the development of the .44 Special which in turn gave rise to the .44 Magnum. Today’s guns for sale are engineered with precision for strength, durability and accuracy.

Due to its heavy recoil not just anyone can-or will-shoot a .44 Magnum pistol. You can’t beat a .44 Magnum for dispatching a wounded bear or a ticked off feral hog that is charging you. If you use a .44 Magnum for personal defense and use it-the criminal isn’t likely to get back up.

The reason less persons own a .44 Magnum than a .45 Colt is due to its recoil. It is often called a beast and it is indeed. The sight of it is enough to send some would be attackers running for the hills. Though not as popular as when it was first introduced, the .44 Magnum still receives a great deal of respect among guns for sale.

There are big game hunters prefer to use the .44 Magnum. Other hunters carry it into the woods to dispatch wounded and dangerous game or predators. The .45 Colt is easily designated a personal defense weapon, and compared to the .44 Magnum is easier to shoot.

When placed side by side you realize the .45 will create a larger wound. That is due to the .45 caliber being true to its size, while a .44 Magnum is actually a .429. Wound size is everything in how fast the target will bleed out, be it a deer or a thug. The .45 caliber has the advantage in this factor, as well as being more manageable for those who dislike heavy recoil.

For those shooters seeking a personal defense weapon, the .45 Colt factory load provides the firepower, the reliability and the ability to control and follow up the shots that you need. Self-loading hunters can fire it up to handle anything dangerous coming from the woods.

If you don’t self-load, a .44 Magnum pistol will provide the velocity you want for a hunting pistol. As is often the case with gun selection, your personal preference, shooting skills and purpose will provide the deciding factor. However, it should be noted that the .45 Colt will provide for greater flexibility when considering between a .44 Magnum vs. .45 Colt guns for sale.

.44 Magnum Guns For Sale

May 8, 2014 | 0 Comments

.44 Pistol

Although known and marketed as a .44 caliber, the .44 Magnum is actually a .429-.430 caliber. The .44 designation is a relic term from the late 19th century when bullets were measured on the outside of the cartridge instead of the inside. The .44 fires a large, heavy cartridge at high velocity for a pistol. In full power, it produces such heavy recoil and muzzle blast that most police officers find it unsuitable as a duty weapon due to the difficulty and fatigue related to using it for rapid fire. Even with the heavy recoil, the .44 has its following. GrabAGun offers a large selection of various models and brands of the .44 guns for sale.

As a .44 Magnum household, I can tell you from experience that it is a hard hitting and accurate weapon; one that not just anyone can fire. However, those who can aren’t lacking in the ability to defend themselves efficiently against any attacker; man or beast. It is these beasts stopping power that makes this caliber popular among guns for sale.

.44 Carbines and Rifles

The .44 Magnum has been surpassed by larger bores, but the .44 remains popular among hunters for its ability to kill big game. Hunters prefer to use heavy, flat point bullets at moderate velocities for penetrating undergrowth with minimal deflection.

The Old West spurred the convenience of same caliber pistol/rifles chambered in the same ammo. The famous .44-40 Winchester cartridge was a precursor of the Magnum loads. Today, .44 rifles and carbines are available in numerous brands, and the flash and recoil are not the problem they are in the handgun. It is true of almost any gun. A larger caliber in a smaller gun will have more recoil than the same caliber in a long gun.

The .44 Magnum began as a revolver, but today there a handful of semi-automatic rifles available. In 1959 the first .44 Magnum semi-automatic carbine was introduced and was followed by a lever action. With the longer barrels, carbines generate a higher velocity than the revolver handguns with the same .44 Magnum ammo for sale. Shop our pistols and rifles section to view the guns for sale.

Accuracy of .44 Mag

The .44 Magnum has good accuracy, producing groups at 3 to 4 inches at 50 yards. Heavy hunting ammo drops significantly at 100 yards and this is maximum range recommended for hunting.

The Infamy of The Derringer

April 11, 2014 | 0 Comments

The History of Deringer

Henry Deringer was the son of a German gunsmith and, after an apprenticeship in his father’s shop, he established his own firearms manufacturing facility in Philadelphia in 1806. He manufactured flintlock pistols, muskets, and percussion rifles for the U. S. Army. In 1825, Deringer began the production of percussion dueling pistols. By 1840, he was manufacturing a smaller dueling pistol and by the 1850s the short barreled, single-action percussion pocket pistol which rapidly gained popularity among pistols for sale at the time. Go to GrabAGun and look through our more modern Derringer collection!

Interestingly, the Deringer lacked a standardized caliber and came with its own bullet mold specific to the caliber of the pair of pistols which varied from .33 to .51 inches. With Henry Deringer’s death in 1868, competitors began applying the breechloading system to their own versions of concealable pistols, and called them “Derringers” to avoid trademark infringements. From then on, guns made by Henry Deringer were the Deringer, while any small short barreled and non-automatic concealable firearm was called a derringer.

The Deringer’s Infamy

The Deringer went down into infamy as the gun that killed Abraham Lincoln. He was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth in April, 1865. Lincoln died the following morning. Forensic evaluation of the pistol in 1997 revealed a characteristic unique to the Booth Deringer, unlike the majority of Deringer pocket pistols, the Booth pistol bore rifling with a left twist. Today the infamous tiny pistol is on display in the Ford Theater Museum.

The end of the Civil War saw the decline in the percussion Deringer’s popularity. The new .41 Short rimfire cartridge was introduced in 1863 resulting in the availability of more modern pistols for sale using the more convenient rimfire cartridges.

The Derringer Today

Today’s Derringer is an exceedingly popular among pistols for sale. The typical modern derringer, or pocket pistol, has significantly improved Henry Deringer’s little gun. Modern Derringers provide greater quality, increased round capacity, and improved safety features and performance.

Historic Colt Pistols For Sale

March 10, 2014 | 0 Comments

Colt in History

The Colt Single Action Army, also called Colt .45 and the Peacemaker is a single-action revolver holding six cartridges. It was developed for the U. S. government service trials in 1872 and was the standard military service revolver until 1892.

The Colt Single Action Army Revolver was available in 4 ¾”, 5 ½”, and the Cavalry standard 7 ½”. Though Colt has discontinued production twice, popular demand has brought it back each time. Today it is popular among many revolvers for sale among collectors and reenactors. The Colt Single Action Army has been one of the most influential guns in history, influencing the production of other models by other gun manufacturers.

The Single Action Army Revolver was one of the pistols that replaced the Colt 1860 Army Percussion Revolver and ultimately remained in favor until 1892 when it was replaced by the .38 Long Colt, a double action revolver with a swing out cylinder.

Colt next introduced the Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, which was an 1873 Colt Model P type of revolver, chambered in .44-40 Winchester rather than .45 Colt. This design’s ammunition is compatible with the Winchester Model 73, and the same ammunition is used for both pistol and rifle, which increased its popularity. Production of the Colt Frontier began in 1877. Its name was acid etched on the left side of the barrel, until 1889 when it was roll-stamped until 1919 when .44-40 was added.

Popular Owners of Colt

In history, outlaw Jesse James used a pair of Colt Single Action Army .45 Revolvers while his brother Frank used the Colt Model P Percussion. Other famous figures who were diehard fans of the Colt Single Action Army: Bat Masterson who ordered 8 from the factory, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, William Bonney, Pat Garrett, Butch Cassidy, Theodore Roosevelt, George S. Patton, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Colt Today

Today, an all original U. S. Cavalry and Artillery Single Action Army in good condition (produced from 1873 to 1891) are very valuable. The most valuable are those inspected by Orville Wood Ainsworth (stamped OWA) and the even rarer Henry Nettleton (stamped HN) inspected Single Action Army Colts, with the latter two being worth over $10,000 in good condition.

The Single Action Army remains in production and is popular among our pistols in multiple finishes and barrel lengths. It is also offered in six different chamberings for a total of 36 variations.

GrabAGun’s extensive inventory includes the Colt Single Action Army pistols for sale in various lengths, calibers, and models; as well as a large number of other pistols among semi-automatic pistols, revolvers and derringers. Check out what variations GrabAGun has available.

Choosing a Pistol Grip

November 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

Choosing properly fitted pistol grips is integral to maintaining control and accuracy of a firearm.

Most weapons come with well-fitting pistol grips, but those with large or small paws will often find many choices among pistol grips that can provide a more custom pistol grips type fit and control of a firearm.

A simple test of a pistols fit, as well as the fit of pistol grips is to wrap your fingers around the grip. If it fits, your thumb and middle finger should overlap. The grip is too large for your hands if your thumb cannot touch your middle finger. At the same time, grips can be too small. A grip that is too small will result in poor control of recoil. With your fingers wrapped around the grip, note the placement of your middle finger. If it is overlapping your palm then the grip is too small. The recommended best fit is for the middle finger to overlap the thumb by the length of a man’s thumbnail.

Grip shape and angle can also affect the line of the gun. With the pistol gripped take note of whether or not it points in line with your arm. If not, choose another grip, or pistol. Pistols can be too large for the shooters hands. Adding large grips will only compound this problem in most cases. It is a balance at times, if you shoot a magnum revolver the larger pistol grips will absorb more recoil, whereas thin and therefore more concealable pistol grips will be the better choice for concealed carry pistols. Some grip manufacturers have separate grip choices for each class of weapon.

Some grips are single purpose; they may work great on the practice field, but fail miserably for any other purpose. You wouldn’t want to obtain accuracy with a pair of grips used only on the practice field when they fit your hand differently than what you are normally using. Accuracy can suffer if you do. A well-fitting and comfortable pair of pistol grips is the best option.

Other factors to consider is how much palm swell and checkering is present on grips. Too much palm swell or thumb swell will prove detrimental to grip and accuracy. Too much checkering will be uncomfortable, while too little creates a slippery gun in a sweaty hand.

Pistol grips are the contact point between the hand and gun and proper fitting is imperative to accuracy, comfort, control and safety.

Choosing a Concealed Carry Pistol

October 31, 2013 | 0 Comments

Concealed Carry Pistols

When looking for a concealed carry pistol most people think derringer. Small firearms are generally the gun of choice for concealed carry, and when used in conjunction with concealed carry holsters they are virtually undetectable.

However, some hands are simply too large to comfortably handle smaller handguns. These individuals will generally opt for an option that comfortably fits their hand without getting a finger stuck in the trigger. Many manufacturers now make smaller guns designed to offer more space for large hands. There remains a small number of individuals who are unable to comfortably, or accurately use smaller guns.

Any gun owner is best advised to choose a weapon that fits the hand comfortably and always use the best safety procedure available-practice and more practice.

Many individuals often consider trigger pull as a factor in choosing a weapon. Factory firearms have a trigger pull in the range of less than four to more than twelve pounds. The higher the trigger pull, the harder it is to depress the trigger.

An additional factor to be considered when purchasing concealed carry pistols are the firing mechanism and presence or absence of one or more safeties. A striker-fire gun when loaded is cocked and unlocked with a partially cocked striker. There is no external safety, and many influences can cause an accidental discharge such as the strap of a thumb break holster and zipper pulls can wedge into the trigger guard for example. A good quality and well-fitting holster can help to prevent this.

Other factors that can cause an accidental discharge with a concealed carry pistol are loose items in purses, briefcases, glove box or luggage. Pens, lipstick and mascara tubes are examples of items than can wedge into the trigger guard causing discharge. A striker-fire pistol unquestionably requires a quality holster to keep the trigger guard covered and prevent potentially dangerous accidental discharge. The fewer mechanical safeties on the pistol, the more danger there is of accidental discharge. A light triggered gun with no safeties must be secured in a good holster to reduce the chance of injury or death.

Buy the carry pistol factory of your choice that is a good fit to your hand and abilities made with the accessories you want, and practice every week, and not with just a magazine or two.

A concealed carry pistol is intended to provide you protection. If you are unsure of which weapon is best for you, consult a firearms instruction class that provides certified instructors for classes. Some of these classes provide an assortment of weapons for the student to ‘try out’, helping you decide which firearm is the best gun for you.
