Howdy and welcome from a neighbor in Cheyenne

I had my first eye done two weeks ago and my other eye done yesterday. My wife picked up two pairs of prescription readers at Walgreens a few minutes ago. Here I am and can see better than I have for years.

45 Winchester magnum brass “stretched 45acp brass “ Loaded to 45 Colt specs,” in moon clips put the bullet right up to the forcing cone. I have a 1916 vintage British MK II HE with post war 45acp cylinder and barrel that is quite accurate.

As a LEO, I bought a model 58 back in 1966 for $81.00 including a box of shells. I carried it for 13 years. It did what it was designed to do and I never felt the need to try a 44 magnum. The 41 magnum cartridge handled my every need.

Is powder that old any good?

They made mighty fine saddles too.

When I was a kid, we had a two holer out behind the house. It was equipped with a Sears catalog. What griped me was my mom always tore the women’s underwear section out before taking it to the outhouse.

Fine looking gun and the rig. You done good.;)

What WYO said. I carried either a govt model or CCO model 1911 for 20 years in Wyoming. I will just say that a 10mm is a very effective round for most anything you might encounter.

Back when I was in high school, I can remember browsing at the original Cabelas in Kimball NE, it was about the size of a railroad boxcar.

Growing up as a kid on the ranch, I gathered the eggs every evening before supper. It was scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning before I rode my horse to school. Every Saturday my dad would catch a hen and chop her head off. My mom would scald it and I would pick all of the wet...

Growing up on a ranch with no electricity or refrigeration until the late fifties, I ate lot of those things. Never again!!

Simply Rugged. Carried a 1911 on a horse, dirt bike, and ATV. Totally secure and out of the way on the ranch for 20 years.

You should have bought a lottery ticket too.

As a police officer responding to family disturbance calls, I often found myself the instant enemy of both sides of dispute. The female complainant would often try to assault me if I arrested her husband.
