I just bought a .44-40 made by Puma. Went to the local gun shop looking for a win '94 in .30-30 but he didn't have one. But, he said he has a nice ss .44-40 just waiting for me. I'm weak. It came home with me. Never shot one or even held one so this is totally new. Any advice out there? Oh, by the way, I stopped at another shop on the way home and a '94 win .30-30 followed me home. Life it good.
