No. The Marlin .450 Marlin’s 18-1/2” barrel is ported.

Really nice pistolas (and knives from the knife thread). Remind me never to piss you off cwo4!

During the invasion in Normandy the US Coast Guard had a major role. Not only were many of the landing craft operated by Coast Guard Coxswains (many of them had lots of experience operating small boats in the surf); also they operated 60 wooden hulled patrol boats near shore rescuing survivors from sunken boats. The also had Beachmasters (both Navy and Coast Guard) directing boats and LSTs where to land.

Here's a link of of 5 facts about the Coast Guard on D-Day:

Here's a little "use your imagination" collage I put together a few years ago as a reminder the Coast Guard did operate ships and small boats in WWII. The Garand is a short barreled "TANKER" that never was produced by the US Armory at Springfield, MA although several prototypes were built and some were built in Theater in the Philippines. Mine was assembled from a kit that Numrich used to sell.

Nice setup!

I had the full DW set in .357 Mag back in the early ‘80’s, and wish I’d kept it.

As far as .44 Mag recoil, a six inch S&W 629 was my deer gun for many years when I ran the dogs in the swamp. I reloaded and fired many hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds through it, and a Desert Eagle, and never thought the recoil was bad. I only carried the DE a couple of times, as it was just too big and clunky compared to that well-balanced 629.

That's a beauty. Your guns are in immaculate condition. And your aiming ain't bad at all. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the GI clones. I have a RI version and it just a neat looking and shooting gun. Plain, simple, basic and just works.
