So, I've been thinking about if there is ever an era in which I'm not so slammed for time, getting into bowling pin shooting. In the short term, I'll likely be putting up such a setup on the home range, but that is another topic. On the subject, I've been reading a 1982 vintage book by Massad Ayoob entitled Hit the White Part. I'm about a fourth of a way through it and it isn't bad, though the early-80s fashion is unintentionally hilarious. The book mentioned something called the .44 Magmatic and, since I'm a big fan of weird and/or old guns, I googled it and found a picture:
It appears to be a custom, gas-operated, six (or five, depending on the source) + one shot, auto in .44 Magnum. Out of curiosity, anyone know what became of these? Anyone shot one? Were just a few made or was it more common? I strongly suspect the former. Granted, there is nothing it could do that, say, a Desert Eagle or LAR Grizzly couldn't do just as well. Still, it is kind of interesting.
Thanks!
