"In my head I keep comparing it to the 6" Para I had. With the one and only load I tried, the Kodiak is as accurate at 50 yards as the Para was at 20. Getting velocities a good 75 fps or more higher in the DW with the same a loads??"
..funny about that... Have a PARA-USA Elite LS Hunter with the 6" barrel...the Kimber Stainless Target II with a 5" barrel shoots the same velocity. Have not chronoed the same loads with the 6" Kimber Stainless Target I picked up last year...

...STEEL BUTT... After a few shots with factory ammo, had a very slim Pachmayer Decellorator pad put on that isn't much thicker than the factory steel butt plate...makes all the difference in the world recoil wise...

Beautiful gun and grips....
Thought about having a 1952 4" HD converted to .41 Special but I've kinda come to appreciate the .38-44 loading...158 at 1150 seems just right...

Was just over on GunBroker...there is a 1 of 1 Nighthawk stainless Long Slide 10mm...current bid $7k...it does have a nice set of mastodon stocks however...
That said I'll take my Kimber Stainless Target Long Slide and $6k worth of ammo any day...

IS THERE A SCOUT RAIL AVAILABLE FOR THE MODERN 1895's? A GOOD RED DOT MIGHT WORK WELL WITH THAT SET UP. More than likely a good smith could could mount a section of rail directly on the barrel. Saw a picture of an 1895 that had the barrel shortened, barrel band style front sight and a QD scope on scout bases...very slick setup.. Bob

...had a 3" with the little adjustable sight and didn't really care for it...felt like a brick...but was accurate. Have handled the 4" guns but wasn't for me.
Really don't need it a I have a S&W 60-10/.357/3" adjustable sights that will do anything a .327 will and a lot more as a Trail Gun..

VERY nice guns guys... I had a Ruger stainless but sold it. Beside the 1895 Winchester also have a 1885 Sporter. A friend sold me a TC Encore barrel and had a local smith cut it down to 20" to match the 500 S&W barrel and make a handier tree stand gun. One "problem" with the 1895 I have is that is an early gun that isn't D&T for a side mounted receiver sight. Have been thinking about one of these instead... www.buffaloarms.com/21-type-long-sight-blued-ptclongb.html

That was a very nicely done gun... For whatever reason I like his Gunfighter Bisley gripframe modification much better than the stock Bisley....
