WV hunter, that is a very poor wish, the last thing you want is wild hogs in your state and to want them just do you can hunt them is pretty selfish and unthinking. Anyone who wants to have an animal that destroys habitat, eats fawns and destroys turkey and grouse nests and eats baby rabbits and other wildlife really has not engaged their thinking process. Have you ever seen the damage hogs to to the land? I suspect not. If you want to hunt hogs, go to where they are.

While the hogs are a problem, the fact you can hunt them is a plus. Good way to
"test bullet performance." It sure beats bottles of water. Good luck Swamp Dragon. I hope you get a chance to roar!

I never did get around to fitting the .45 caliber barrel that I bought back in 2012 to the Dragon. I need to do that soon. I expect it will do well with the 465's.

No, you need more practice and deer with that .58cal round ball barrel :D

is there any place in the south that dont have hog? we got them by the 1000"s here if they aint full of pigs there in heat . LOL.

Not really. All the southern states are either badly infested or nearing badly infested and in the mid southwest and west they are proliferating towards the north by a scary margin. They are extremely adaptable and can survive the colder winters up in the lower 48 climate. The ones with stronger Russian bloodlines are VERY adaptable to colder climates. The ones with more of the Spanish bloodlines are the ones most commonly seen in the southern regions and they don't like the colder climates much at all but like all other hog breeds they have a strong tendency to adaptation.

You have to use the Back To The Future key on your computer to return to 2012 before you click on Buy Now. I doubt we'll ever see deals like that again.

I bought a .50 and a .45 barrel (the one in the picture) and they sent me a second .45 barrel free. The one I bought was perfect.

The one they sent free was a fluted barrel that had had front sight, rear sight, and thimble holes drilled that were badly misaligned with the flutes. Here's that one.




Here's the fix I came up with for those holes. I had a coil of silver solder that was about the same diameter as the holes. I pushed the wire into the hole and cut it off, leaving a stub of about 1/16" sticking out above the hole. I then began tapping the stub with the bottom of a teaspoon, expanding the solder, then cut it flush with the barrel with a razor blade. It worked out pretty well.

I wish I had one of those "back to the future" buttons. there'd be a lot more stuff I would be purchasing than muzzy barrels.
I remember when Colt came out with the Python and the guy at the sports counter said "Who the h**l is going to pay $125.00 for a revolver?" Geez - if we only knew back then what we know now.
