Greetings from GA
I used to shoot Muzzle loaders on the banks of the Pearl River in the little town of Byram Ms. good times with good friends. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Looking good
I purchased a Model 66 last fall, have not shot it yet, I think I will try your Mothers polish on it to see if I can add some luster to it. Thanks for posting.

I keep this on a book case beside my bed. I keep my XD40 on top at night just in case. When the grandchildren come over in the safe it goes. Works well for me.
Welcome for a fellow Georgian, age has a way of taking its tole on us "seasoned" shooters. Between poor eyes and arthritis I do not shoot as often but still find it quite enjoyable. Hope all of your visits to the S&W forum are fruitful.

The attached picture is of my father after graduation from P.I. in 1937.
I have a 625-8 with a 5" bbl I wish it was 4 but this is what I have. After years of "chasing" after fired 45 acp brass it is a pleasure to load and unload the little wheel.

I have a 686 in 4" and enjoy the pistol very much. Shoot where I point it which is a good thing. You picked one of the best, if not the best to start your wheel gun collection. Congratulations.

Saw this video a few years back but lost the book mark. Thanks for posting, I am forwarding to some young people to show them what a good time really is.

Just bought a 625-8 5" <$500.00 otd. Love that pistol, buy it you can always "turn it" if it is not to your liking. Keep in mind the extra's, Moon clips, loader, de-mooner, man it seems like it never ends. But worth every penny..:D

Alberto, I have not seen a welcome from Georgia, so here it is. Believe me your English is fine it will be our "colloquialisms" that will give you, and us, problems. With that said ya'll be safe and shoot straight now ya hear.:)

Tucomac, I have a 625-8 and with moon clips some of the primers seem "too hard" for double action. I solved this by only using federal primers in reloading for my Moonie, I have heard and read that 45 auto rim is the way to go if you use it for self defense.

I certainly hope that it is never forgotten but it will be up to the younger generations go keep it alive. I am 61, sneaking up on 62, and the the generation behind me do not know our important dates in history.

My wife and myself wish that we were there with you.:D
Some of our favorite memories of the past 42 years have been in the Blue Ridge Mtns of NE Ga and West NC.
