Jan '12 1500: If a dealer was selling guns they had this one on the table

[stryguy]

Seriously, I think every single table had this gun for sale. My buddy and I found it comical.

 

[Bapak2ja]

What made it comical? The fact that it was ubiquitous or was it something about the weapon itself?

Hey, it's 0500—cut me some slack! At least I am up and drinking my coffee!

 

[762minigun]

Needs to be a wee bit shorter if you ask me.

I figure they're no worse of a novelty than a Judge.

I did too.

 

[Titanium Man]

Interesting----seen them in catalogs----so what was the average asking price?

 

[radar44]

I got a lever action, but the rest of the gun was there

 

[forkliftdave]

I saw a few of them. But not on every table. If they were priced closer to $300 than $400. They would of had one less on the table.

What's the allure to one of these.

We found them in 22lr or 45lc. And usually and old timer was checking them out pretty closely.

Is it a Draco for geezers?

 

[techres]

It is a legal SBR in the name of a pistol. Think of it more like an AR Pisol with a nice shoulder stock included for no good legal reason.

The geezers got real lucky with this one and I am amazed the ATF allowed it.

Now for them to allow more!

 

[jimmyw86]

Almost every other gun table had one.

 

[traderdan]

Hip shooting is a skill we used to practice back when we could afford ammo!

 

[cmstuard]

A version of this gun was in the movie Zombieland with Woody Harrelson. I started to see more of them around after the movie came out.

Steve McQueen used a similar handgun, in the tv show Wanted Dead or Alive ..... I think ..... he carried it in a holster, just like a .45 handgun .....

This.
I think this movie made them popular.

 

[445supermag]

ROSSI IS MAKING THEM. I HAVE SEEN IN 22 LR, 357MAG, 44MAG & 45COLT.

 

[femurphy77]

[Hoosier8]

Called the Mares Leg and made popular on TV and the movies.

Used to be you have to buy one special.

Diamond Jim Buchanan's Custom Sales and Service

Then Henry came out with one for about twice the price of the Rossi.

Now Rossi makes it for less but they can't call it the Mares Leg so call it the Ranch Hand.
