Anyone know of a blow up - yet?

I don't shoot many .44 mag loads out of my Browning '92s as I don't enjoy the recoil. But, it can surely handle the pressure.

Well, I guess a case full of black powder wouldn't stress that 44 Russian Extra Long too much.

Think I'll stick with a 44WCF.

The barrel is plenty strong enough to handle the 44 Mag, but the action is another story. I would expect the toggle link action to progressively loosen up under the beating it takes from the 44 Mag.

When they were first announced, every gun board rider was lining up to forecast doom.  These have been around for some time now, and I have not seen or heard any reports of any problems.

Sure would make a dandy little woods carbine for deer, bear and piggies. ;D
