Gawd, what a motley crew! Max, I promise to keep Charlie out of trouble (more or less, maybe), and I got some plans for him. We've talked about opening a business but have no idea what kind; we were thinking about a pawn shop dealing exclusively in stolen power tools, but we haven't figured...

29aholic, I weigh all my charges. Used to use a volumetric measure, but I found me a way to weigh effectively to +/- .1 grain very quickly and easily. I have a Shiloh #1 Sporter in 45 2 4/10, and I've shot it in several midrange matches. I stuff it with 86 grains of Goex FF, a .060 Walters...

Those bullets are "paper patched," meaning that two layers of very thin paper are wrapped around the bullets. This is the bearing surface for the bullets while traveling down the bore, as the bullets themselves are bore diameter, not groove diameter. The paper patched bullets shoot a good bit...

I need to go to bed early more often. Did ya'll know that it's sometimes dark in the morning? Anyway, I've known Charlie Sherrill for about 40 years, so he seems to think he has the right to drag me out of seclusion by posting lies about me on Internet forums like this one. Now that I'm out...

And it's the Discovery Channel, not History. Autographs are definitely a good deal: for a buck I'll sign my name on your paycheck, gun, or non-essential body part. For five dollars I'll sign YOUR name to my forehead, and for TEN dollars I'll sign an executive order of your choosing.

I am a mystery, wrapped in an enigma and deep fat fried in a conundrum.

Who squealed? And for what it's worth, it now has an internal laser sight and electronic key lock so that no innocent victims get hurt or anything. Then there's the paint job, but you already gave that part away.

I resemble that remark. We used live ammo and shot at TV cameras. I didn't manage to hit one, but the temptation was really, really hard to resist.

EXTRA! The daily BUMP!

Serial number is K 2178xx, which puts it in the 1954 production. Condition is 98% with no obvious rust, no pitting, but some very minor holster wear on muzzle and front edge of frame around barrel and in front of trigger guard. Bore is pristine, as are the chambers. Screw slots are sharp and...

Thanks, Photoman! I'm checking them out right now.

I went to the Hattiesburg gun show today and spent two hours visiting and browsing, but I didn't see anything that really blew my skirt up. Just as I was deciding to leave, I ran across something on a dealer's table that really got my attention. It was a new Model 40 in nickel. I had passed...

Hey, Cajun. I contacted that forum member and asked him about something or other. I guess he still has his, but I think he just drools on it and stuff instead of shooting it.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help with informative posts about my 38/44 oddball.
