Fisherman you are correct, single action.......brain flatulence on my part for posting otherwise. :banghead: You and Niner seem to have identified it correctly, as a CVA .36 cal. 1851 Navy. With that information I was able to pull a Pdf from the CVA website, so thank you!! Think I will...

Greetings, My Father-in-law gave me an old black powder pistol, and I am trying to determine what I have. Along the top of the barrel are the words "CONNECTICUT VALLEY ARMS INC.", but a search of their site is not giving me any information about pistols....hopefully someone here can provide...

Dave, I googled several ways with no luck. :confused: Thanks for the links, I have passed along the information. I, too, really like the feel of the 617. Having the extra shots more than makes up for any extra cleaning.:cool: Very fun gun and my neices' favorite (next to the 41) She...

I was searching for the link to a speed-loader I purchased a while ago when I came accross this link. I like my 617. I use it to compliment my model 41 at pin shoots, and have found it to be fun and accurate. I bought a speed loader specifically for the gun ( the 10 shot model) from a...

The only difference between men and boys; the size of their playmates, and the cost of their toys ;)

1164 posts...........I waited until the end to request that you add me to the list. Monster Hunter from Correia and NC's Trilogy, fer sure. I am also in the market for any and all publications you two produce .......... either alone or in cooperation. Like another poster stated (several...

I will be shooting with a retired squid (SEAL) tomorrow. If I defeat him in the course, I think I will request that he sing the Marine Corp Hymn in honor of our birthday celebration....:evil: When he comes back with "The Marines are a section of the Department of the Navy!" I will...

Most of the answers I've been getting from the guys at the club, as well as y'all here, seem to indicate that the the Remington 1100 is a good choice.....considering my level of commitment. I usually only shoot skeet once a week, and only 2-4 rounds at that. At this time I am using an...

I have used the search function and acquired some great information/opinions......the same way I researched my last pistol.:D Final query............if you were to recommend a good 20 gage for skeet, what would it be? I will not be re-loading, and am leaning towards an auto............no...

Funny how this thread came up at a time when I am trying to remember a specific SciFi series of books. Hopefully someone can identify it from this description of the firearm of choice. The basic premise followed a time-corp/peackeeper force that used a weapon capable of manufacturing it's own...

That's why. I LIVE by Murphy's Law....though this is the first time I've thought about it in such a personal way. I do not believe he is out to get me, but he is ready....so I must be also.

Bad spelling, syntax and grammar…….and no idea who he (she?) is talking to.:rolleyes: Add the fact that this person has no facts or figures to support their assertions, as well as that wonderful closing wish to do you harm, and I figure this is a nut case.:scrutiny: A reply is not...

I haven't posted in awhile (I consider my time better spent reading as many threads as possible), but this comment hit real close to home. Television news is not far removed from daytime talk shows, IMO. I can get enough depressing information from print media and the internet...

Back at ya.... In New England this time of year we are wearing layers, making it difficult to kneel and capture the slide. Also, the thigh/calf method wasn't feasable in 6" of snow. ;) I've lost some skin using the rear sight method in the summer, but it can be done.....just start slow...

Welcome, samlynas!! There is so much good information and company here that you may find yourself, as I do, regulating the amount of time you allow yourself to sit in front of the screen.;) As far as one-handed shooting.....it so happens that we were practicing one-handed reloads this...

OK I'm a little behind, and there have been several different ways of saying it......Unless you were there and had to make the immediate decision, you are just passing gas by 2nd guessing. I WANT to take the person yelling "BOMB" seriously. To not react immediately to a verbal and...

(quote)So I'm kinda wondering why they didn't stand down or at least take a less lethal option. I don't know why one of the agents didn't hit him with the taser.(quote) And if the taser didn't work, set off an explosive, or killed him anyway then we would be 2nd quessing that decision also...

Give me a hint......was it at the place that sells "Guns for the good guys" or the one further up the road? I may wanna go take a Christmas trip.:D Don't worry, I'll let you play with it.

:cool: My 27 has been my carry gun for years. I have other firearms, but that one gets practiced with weekly. I've been using my sig (tag line) since before you came on board, but it's still kinda funny about your handle, beach......;)

Thank you meef, I was wondering how long I was lost in the moment..:D The wife could only hang in there long enough to see the little girl shake her hands..:rolleyes: Gotta love it :evil:
