I’m still cipherin’ on your lower latch/knob. The rim lock, when engaged, keeps the door locked. The latch underneath looks to slip over its ramped lip on the jam when the door closes, but I can’t really see how you open it from the out side. Can you turn the ring and raise the latch bar from...

My dad used to describe tough folks as, “hanging in there like a rusty fishhook.” Well done sir, speedy recovery and next steps.

New fact! Thanks!

Anybody else recall William Conrad’s Cannon character? Never missed with his Colt DS (I think) even with his patented squint…. :)

Thanks folks! It’s definitely a want rather than a need. :). Perhaps one will land at the right time when the price matches my current stash.

A business model that works, but gets forgotten quite often… Bottom line, give the customer something they want at a price that makes sense to both you and him. Kinda like weight loss, surprisingly, eating less and moving more still works.

I prefer the term, “rural enthusiast,” thank you… :)

My only experience was in a gun shop. I’m a fan of the Beretta originals, as the tip up feature is great for those with hand strength issues. The Girsan I handled seemed well fit and well finished. Turkey is putting out a lot of well made guns these days. Two comments to consider: The...

Oh know, what do you do with clips?!? (Couldn’t resist…. :). )

Probably stating the obvious, but if your “canopy” has some kind of windows, you should consider blacking/blocking them out in some way. And/or cover everything in the bed with a dark tarp or similar cover. Last, secure the canopy in some way. If you make it so you can’t tell what is inside...

A 1 and an A1, nice!

Every now and then I THINK I want a Ruger Old Army. Both to use with black powder, and maybe to get a replacement cylinder in 45 Colt. I’m not sure what I would do with it other than make some noise and smoke from time to time. Probably too big for any “serious” use, and I have other...

337 38SPL. Bobbed off the hammer to make it better for pocket carry. Still have it.
