I can keep my eyes open for you. I "may" have a fella who can help...

Which Power Mag do you have? Are all calibers the same frame and fittings?

It is a .357 Powermag with a fitted 9mm cylinder. My understanding is that the frame etc. is the same for the .357, the .401, and the .44 mag. Any help would be great.

9mm Power mag!!! With all that steel...

how do you know when it goes off? :-P

If you're feeling ambitious or bored one day, I would be curious to know how the Power Mag cylinder compares to the Blackhawk relative to length and diameter. I've never held them side-by-side but always got the impression they were pretty close.

As soon as I find Ernie's card (Clips N' Grips), I'll give him a call about your grip panel/stocks/grippy things.

Good deal. I don't have a Blackhawk here, but I do have the Super Blackhawk. I will get some measurements together.

Measurements

by Jhenry, Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 17:39 (4403 days ago) @ Jhenry

Powermag cylinder measures 1.765" in length and 1.725" in width, the Super Blackhawk measures 1.711" in length and 1.732" in width.

Hmmm, interesting.

By "width", I assume diameter which puts them neck and neck. But the Power Mag is a skosh longer...probably not a real issue.....maybe even an advantage (ain't rationalization great?).

Totally irrational notion but Numerich shows stock on both the .401 cylinders and barrels and, if a feller had an extra Blackhawk.......well, he could do something completely silly!

Thank you Sir!

Hmmm, interesting.

yep, diameter. I think some of the extra length in the Powermag is due to it being recessed. The new model SBH is not recessed.
