We called them the same thing in my part of East Texas, and funny as it sounds, I was just thinking about this on Friday. I have also used the term bumbershoot before, not sure where I picked that up though.

Before reading on, I have to guess Gen Pershing and a young Lt Patton.

Is this what you're describing?? Although I didn't exactly face the inner edge.

I first went shortly after it opened with the family. Two years ago my oldest daughter, who was still in High School were passing through STL and I pulled of so she could experience the trip to the top. The "elevator" cars were much smaller than I remembered from way back when, but it is still...

I can't give you a good guess but someone far more knowledgeable will be along shortly, I'm sure. The gun looks to be in very nice condition and appears to be original. The grip adapter looks to be a S&W adapter, which has pretty nice value on it's own. Do the adapter panels have the S&W logo?

And, wouldn't you know.... No sooner do I get here, make plans for to stay a few months and all, then I get called by my Deputy Chief today :(.....it looks like I may be headed back to Califistlan much, much earlier than expected. Like possibly next week :( :(. To say I'm bummed is an...

Fireman and Bob, Any idea when the next show in San Antonio may be? As luck would have it I just hit town for the next 90 days (maybe longer) and hotel living about a mile from the Alamo. Haven't had much time to cruise the web for the last year or so due to being assigned to a gig my LAPD...

My condolences. Lost my Dad, another WW2 & Korea vet just shy of a year ago and just short of his 90th birthday. Know how you're feeling right now.

4.5 or 4.6 231/HP38 pushing a 115 gr 9mm should give you a 2" group at 50.

That would be Johnny Rodriguez.

BTDT as well. Ex was also Bi-polar, which I thought would get better with the meds but it was a hell of a roller coaster (she self adjusted her meds regularly base don how she felt). Stuck with it way longer than I should have because the first divorce attorney I consulted painted a picture of...

29+ years with the US Border Patrol, with 1 year, ten months and 18 days till the bitter end (mandatory retirement). Things have been getting progressively worse during the last 6 years or so but I think I can hang. Definitely was a game changer when I hit official jamming time, seemed like I...

Watermelon and salt - a natural combination. Another vote for salt. Now and then I'll use a healthy dash of Pico De Gallo Para Fruta instead of salt but it can be a little addictive ;). Pico on a fruit bowl is great eats too.

There is a term.....Slam Charge. Some may think it abusive but it sometimes happens when seating a mag hurriedly, Can be a benefit in an emergency reload as you have one less movement to contend with, but fair warning, it can be an eye opener when it doesn't slam charge when you need it too :eek:

I had never watched the show when it was on, then on New Year's Eve AMC was running a Breaking bad marathon. A couple shows in and I asked the wife how it was we'd never seen any episodes as this was a great show. We were hooked enough that she purchased all of the seasons she could find and we...

Brandon, Bob is spot on....stick with the compact mags as most refs will bounce you for using (or trying to use) a standard mag. When I got my Ultra Compact Springfield I also got 8 of the compact mags so I could shoot through the entire match without having to reload. Those compact mags were...

I think it works better to say that what wasn't legal now is. Your array of revolvers covers everything - the open match, distinguished and duty matches, plus the off-duty with your snubby. The recent rule changes regarding autos is what is confusing. Most of the open guns are 6" guns, usually...

Class 191 here...still humping, 2 years 7 months and 14 days (not that I'm counting) to the bitter end - or one really bad day ;)

:D :D...was trying not to confuse everyone with the "original" blue and white rivalry at the garita, its bad enough explaining the blue/green stuff as it is. Shoot, then I'd have to start discussing admitting legal travelers versus collecting revenue...

The BP training has moved to the FLETC Satellite center in Artesia, NM. The Cop Shop was Sally's Cop Shop on Altama Blvd. They too have moved, or at least opened a second shop right across from the main gate at Artesia. A lot of native speakers had trouble with the English half of the Spanish...
