My Mom and Dad exchanged wedding vows in St Patrick’s Cathedral, in New York City. Pop noticed the Priest was very nervous and said, “thought I was supposed to be the nervous one!” The priest commented that a plane h]ad crashed into the Empire State Building. Kevin

A lot of threads today about ‘what are you doing for Father’s Day” etc. My Pop died in 1999, 82 years old. Today, I chose to remember him by carrying one of his knives. I always carry a slip joint knife, Barlow style, of various makes. Today I was sifting through my assortment and spotted...

Are they still in business? My emails are answered with an automated reply and no one is answering the phones. Has anyone had recent business or correspondence with them? Kevin

The title says it all. Okay, maybe it doesn’t. Today, noonster is starting another circuit of the sun. He is not a frequent poster, about one a month, so he may not be well known to many. I have know him since I was a mere lad. I have learned from him. Kevin

Today, 29 March, 2025, I start my 71st journey around the sun!! Kevin

70 years ago this month, March 1955, S&W introduced the Model 1955, 45 ACP, Target Revolver. It was an improvement on the Model 1950 45 ACP, Target Revolver by the addition of the heavier barrel and some changes to the fore of the frame to accommodate the larger barrel. I do not have an...

(I have received permission to post this. Thank you again, Lee.) I have written about our dogs many times on this forum. And some of you know about our work with animal rescue. My wife does the majority of the planning and I am voluntold what to do. Several years ago, my wife, Debbie...

I had a few minutes over the weekend so I got some of the 45s out. I had just received some Magna style stocks carved from Holly and wanted to see how they would look on a revolver. I believe they look nice. Not sure if they will stay on this revolver or go to the Model 22-4, the...

The title says it all. Kevin

As in the title, a very nice transaction. I will happily work with him again. Kevin

As you may know, we lost Ted on Labor Day. This, is Honey. Honey is another rescue from a puppy mill. A 5 year old bitch who was never out of her cage until we brought her home. She was also never inside a house, on a leash, no training, just a dog. She is now with us, and learning how...

I got this one in the late 70s or early 80s. I had been using a similar Model 29-2 to hunt in Ohio and was miffed that a friend was getting quicker drops and less tracking with a Blackpowder 45 long Colt. I tried his and realized the big bad 44 was not in the same league as the 45 so, I...

And many more. Kevin

This pup has been with us nearly nine years. His 9th birthday anniversary was the 22 of April. He came to us as a healthy 10 or 11 weeks old puppy from a hack breeder. We went to get him and he immediately adopted us. He started sugaring a few years ago but is still very active. The new...

(Moderators, I have no idea where this thread should be located. Please move it to the appropriate area.) Here is a sight adjustment tool I have not seen previously. When did S&W introduce this tool and for what firearm? Thank you. Kevin

Looking for N frame grip screws for Magnas but believe any would work. Thank you, Kevin

It is no secret that I prefer the Sunday Scabbard to any other holster for my revolvers. I have even posted on forums looking for someone willing to build one for me. Most say it is too hard…not enough profit…you don’t really want one…etc. One fellow contacted me. He was interested. He read...

As some may know, I enjoy a good ACP revolver. Others may know I will be started another of my annual trips around the Sun at the end of this month. My good wife knew both of these things and made it possible for me to not only acquire a Model 1950 45 Target Revolver, but one that left the...

In case someone does not know Tom, he is a fellow who does a good deal. Communication, packaging, everything is top notch! Kevin
