What a great thread -- thanks to all...

Getting back to guns ...how many among us recall our first "firearm" as a toy carried in a western style holster -- all inspired by a TV show? I miss having regular western TV shows.

It's always a shame to lose anyone from our community, and that he had such taste in firearms tells me that he woulda been a good one to know. Like was mentioned above, stipulate that the whole rig stays together, since that's how it was intended. And post pictures of the thing for cryin' out...

Great looking Colt -- I always liked the original profile over the so-called "enhanced" version.

Yup, sorry about that detail -- all three barrels are ramped and fitted to this frame. There is no doubt that the work was done by a professional, and late yesterday we found paperwork on a 45 barrel wrapping that listed a gunsmith called Big Bore Custom in nearby Phoenix. We got all excited...

I am currently helping with a large inventory of items left behind by a wonderful old man who had been an avid shooter, fisherman, explorer and conservationist his entire life. He had been doing well until claimed by the <edited> virus at age 88. Within his collection is a full frame...

For him it was likely an idle comment ...I was helping him haul equipment and passing through his reloading area, spotted boxes of 45 he'd been working on. He said "flying ashtray," which confused me, so he explained "...you know, big and heavy like an ashtray." I said, well how about the 44...

I can drive tacks with the sweet-looking .22 with the box, a gift when I was first learning how to shoot. By way of contrast, on a good day I can likely hit a barn with the P-22 below, unless it jams, and this is the first and last firearm I will ever own that is made from the new metal. Right...

I'd have more fun with it stock ...looks better too.

I have two Anacondas with the eight inch tube, 45 and 44. I have a great time with both. I had a neighbor who reloaded with us for years, a WWII vet who told me in his day, because the 45LC lacked 44 velocities, they called it the "flying ashtray" ...always made me smile. Anyone ever hear that?

Yes + love that Jeep.

HeHeHe... made me chuckle ...as a father with daughters and two large dogs.

Nice! ...buried on the right looks like a Steven's Favorite in Tip Up configuration made around turn of the century in really nice shape?

Well this didn't take long ...several road cameras, including our own, contained images of the car, tags, driver, etc. The detectives from property crime started with the driver (high school student 17 years) then interviewed his kid brother 15 years ...and they have the names of all the little...

...and now you share a special bond with your kids ...how special is that? Keep up the fire!
