Driftwood, My strong side is my right - all of the following occurs in a fraction of a second: 1) gun pointed down range and round #5 fired ... <BANG> 2) as I lower the piece I do a quarter turn to the left and raise my boot heel - thus breaking my right knee 3) as the piece comes down, thumb...

This isn't really an answer to your question but I am a long time SASS shooter. I used to run a brace of Uberti Schofield re-pops in 45 Colt. I discovered that they naturally pointed for me and were as accurate as any six shooters I owned. Then came the day when I stepped up to the line with a...

Except for the 327 AND the most obsolete 32 of all, I had tried most of the 32s in one form or the other. I never found any real reason to include one in my battery until a few years ago. When 22 rimfire ammo dried up I started a search for either a true reloadable 22 rimfire or for an...

MaxP, That is a BEE-YOU-ti-ful Vaquero, Pard! Congratulations. Please let us know how she does in the field. Apples, 10 or 15 years ago a lot of guys were doing conversions and lots of conversion parts were available through Brownells. I never messed with them because I had bought mine back...

MaxP, Thank you for showing the difference between the Ruger plow handle and the Ruger Bisley grip. There is indeed a huge difference in their ergonomics and the way they react under recoil. That said, my all time favorite 44 mag is my S&W 629 Trail Boss. It has more holster time than all...

I did this little comparison for myself some 5 years ago. The bottom line is that from a short barrel, there's not "all that much" difference. OTOH: the 'flash-bang' on the receiving end is much greater with the 22 mag. Regardless, with such a short barrel the point is moot, IMO...

I've had a Shiloh Sharps for close to 20 years now. It wears a mid-range Soule tang sight, a spirit level globe front sight, and a Hadley eyepiece. My all purpose lower 48 cartridge is a 405 grain cast bullet loaded to 1475 fps (+/-). I can hit 'most anything I can see out to 650 yards...

gbw, Make DARN sure everyone understands WHICH Browning 22 Auto you're talking about, the SA 22 take down 1913 model or their BAR 22 Auto? They are both semi autos and are nowhere near sim liar to each other. I mention this because I had both and the BAR 22 had the problem you describe...

:banghead: I just don't get why folks get so "het-up" over this topic. Yes, the value of any NIB piece is going to exceed the value of any <gasp> fired one (AKA "used"). Yes, any gun proven having been owned by a famous person will have more value than and identical one that belonged to...

Nope, ya can't see it in this picture of course, but mine looks OK to me. This was one of the early release of the New Models. And I don't know one way or the other about the ejector rod housing. Congrats on your Bearcat. I sure do like my Bearcat. It wears fixed sights but shoots "minute...

Cajun Bass, I could hear Bob Uecker's voice as clear as a bell when I read that! And dang near fell outta my chair laughing!! Now I gotta watch the movie yet one more time... shame on ya, Pard! :D

I vote for the extra round although IMO and experience 6 vs 7 is a bogus question. My all time favorite wilderness packing gun is my 3" 629 S&W Trail Boss. It has served me well for close to 20 years and compared to many folks I am able to spend an inordinate amount of time "in the bush"...

About 15 years ago I had a shoulder injury that precluded me using a 12 ga gun for a while. Up on my ranch and especially when prospecting in the high desert a scatter gun is a tool I didn't want to be without, so I decided to give the lowly 410 a tryout. I had very little respect for the...

Pard, I was indeed hoping for some kind of reply but the truth is I really wasn't trying to rile anyone up. You're mighty right that any Glock ever made is uglier than a bucket of rusty lizards. My wheel guns do indeed have adventures they would share if only they could. Thanks for...

My S&W 642 ... and wuddja believe its the same size as my G30 SF??? My oh my oh my. Hmmm 5 rounds of 38 Special vs 10 of 45 ACP? Believe it or not, I think the 642 is the all time perfection of the "pocket pistol" concept. But my all time, all around, all purpose, favorite DA snub is my 629...

The nylon 66s were not serial numbered initially, but were following the 1968 GCA. My youngest son still has his and it is serial numbered and my Remington Nylon 76 Trail Rider (nothing more than a Remington LEVER ACTION Nylon 66) also wears a serial number. I hafta admit the old...

Mine's 100 acres in the Nevada high desert and my on-site distance range is 1000 yards. We also have a cowboy town built for private SASS matches.

I have two 1895 Winchesters - one in 30-40 Krag and the other in 30-06. I believe the most utilitarian Lever action rifle today is the 44 Magnum. It has eclipsed the 3030 Winchester in general utility in my opinion.

There are indeed differences in the way various 22 ammo performs in different 22s. First off, the reality is that most of us have no need for match grade 22 ammo. Its a short range cartridge and 95% of it will suffice for whatever accuracy I need. I do tend to remember which ammo performs...

kBob, That's COOL! I don't think I've ever seen one before. Thanks for the pic.
