Are you quoting Winans ? If so, at that time it was truly his opinion and good advice but that is definitely "dated" and "whodathunk" (back then) there would be us guys, 100+ years later that still get a thrill out of these.
That statement today would start a revolt from most SASS and Cowboy shooters not to mention us guys who can't wait till the next time we're at the range with our Model 3s.
