Pitmaster,
That Ruger 44 carbine sounds interesting.
When Ruger first came out with the carbine (I think they named it the Deerswlayer but later had to change it) it was pretty much a success.

They later came out with the International stocked version but later on,sales dwindled and Ruger dopped it from the line up.

Typical (and wisely) of Ruger,if a product does not sell,they don't keep on making it. Bad business.

Do you handload for it or only use factory loads??
