One Caliber, Two Guns: It's not Just for Cowboys - The Mag Life

In the 1800s, cowboys kept their rifle and handgun in the same caliber for convenience. It's no different today for one caliber, two guns.

I don’t have a Glock not a Glock guy but I do have the pc carbine which I love it’s one fun gun to shoot very accurate I have a red dot on mine . Yes it’s often that I go to the range with the pc and a 9mm pistols it works

I’ll be getting the S&W FPC to complement my M&P9.

Not just same cartridge, but using the same mag also is great! G21/41 that also is used in a Kriss 45acp along with a g17 and a Kriss 9mm. Then there's a g20/40 I cans use the same mags with 2 other 10mm carbines. I've been wanting a BFR (big framed revolver) magnum research in 45-70 to go with the 1895's (no mag required). Enjoy the s&w's!

What cracks me up isthese people using "caliber" when it's "cartridge " that should be used! Many gun writers type that same thing.

I kinda like my Marlin 1895’s in .357 and .44 paired with N-frames in the same chambering.

That would be 1894's in 44 and 357

I haven't seen any in 1895's

Yeah, so anything .355-.357 is the same "caliber." Covers a lot of cartridges.

Kinda difficult to stuff a 358NM into a 357mag, so cartridges make a difference over calibers.

Well, I have 9mm pistols, and a Saint 9mm AR.

Also Smith Highway Patrolman and a Martini Cadet, both chambered in .357 Magnum.

Hopefully the two for ones will expand in the new year....

I have thought about doing this... since I am a 10mm guy I'd have to go with the Vector CRB that would take the Glock mags. I have never shot any 10mm other than a pistol, I may go to a rent range and try to rent one and see how I like it.

I have a 9 snd 45 in a vector and wish I didn't buy either!

I am hampered by no such desires. I have little enthusiasm for PCCs, although I will admit to some adoration of a Lever action Henry in .44 mag or .357 Mag.

The odds of me being in a situation, mobile with only the gear on my back to survive, are insanely slim so I feel no need to consolidate calibers between sidearms and long guns. And in any case I am far more likely to go for a shotgun if at all possible.

 

[deadduck357]

9mm pistol and AR.

 

[javbike]

9mm pistol and my pc carbine

Yeah sure a PCC whether a semi or lever would only be effective to about 100 yards, possibly 150, it will certainly be an advantage over the pistol. Sufficient for town or urban environment.

I suppose one could go with a BFR and a .45-70 lever gun…be able to reach a LOT farther than that.

I suppose. What's a "BFR"?
