Been thinking about this or the Henry x…. I like this version because it’s so light and with the 16 inch barrel so handy…. But it’s a citadel….so overall craftsmanship of the firearm as well as reliability…

@@matthewberkowitz9699 I owned a Henry X in 357 and it was a nice rifle. I haven't done a ton of shooting with the Citadel but so far the only issue I've had is feeding the 357. I loaded both the 38 & 357 using the same bullets which were 158gn flat point copper jacket. Not sure why or if it just needs a little more break-in. The citadel is a beater and you can get 2 for the current price of the Henry. Citadel is a Rossi M92 so parts are interchangeable. Overall the trigger and action are great. Very pleased for the price.

lol ty,that explains everything,oh if i may,what is the bullet weight and velocity of the 38 spl that you used.

[@idahotech5175]

Both loads were hand cast bullets from a Lee 158 grain SWC mold. These are hand loads and I load on the hotter side. The powder was Hodgdon Titegroup. 38 special was around 950 FPS and the 357 was around 1250 FPS.

Can you fit 8 rounds of .357 in the tube?

[@ktay966]

What is thread pitch on barrel? I have a Deadair Sandman S and want to make sure this would work, considering I add the correct muzzle brake

[@idahotech5175]

The thread pitch is 1/2-28 on the 357.

[@jimmypossum6343]

how is the accuracy on this gun, how far out could you shoot it?

[@idahotech5175]

Off hand, I was hitting a 6 inch square plate at 100 yards.

[@definitelynotlebronjames443]

Were those subs and SuperSonics?

[@bslaws]

I'm alternating between 38 special which is subsonic and 357 magnum which is supersonic. The loudness is the supersonic crack, not the report from the actual shot.

[@GunslingerOfficial]

Does shooting 357mag through the supressor damage it?

[@bslaws]

No, it doesn't matter. The loudness is the supersonic crack. I'm not wearing hearing protection.

[@GunslingerOfficial]

@@bslaws yeah nice one, just wasn't sure how it worked if it's "too much" pressure for it

[@bslaws]

@@GunslingerOfficial The suppressor is one I built on an ATF Form 1 before they stopped approving them at the 1st of the year. It can handle 7.62x39 rounds.

[@jsan9066]

Some suppressors are built differently and can handle very high pressure rounds along with full auto fire

[@bullittsandbullets1821]

What suppressor?

[@idahotech5175]

Well, a few years back you could turn in a Form 1 to the ATF and build you own suppressor. This is a Form 1 suppressor made from a titanium tube and end caps. The baffles are formed steel that was heat treated.

[@dejanfreighter2926]

So 357 you cannot really suppress...But 38 is sweet

[@idahotech5175]

On the 357, what you are hearing is the sonic crack, not the report from the actual gun powder. I am not wearing any hearing protection.
