Pre27 v. Pre28: Case Closed (AFAIAC)

[Nicksterdemus]

I was forced to seek council from the Urban Dictionary to ensure I was not, harshing my mellow.

I think E.L.O. touched base on that in the late 70's.

I would be offended by AZRetired's comments...if they weren't true. With advancing age and diminishing eyesight I am not the shooter I once was. I am in fact a pretty poor marksman...on paper.

Once...and only once I met Texas Star's standard. But that was with a Python rather than a 27 or a 28.

Oops, I just noticed that's a five shot group and not six. I guess I still fall short.

What other forum exists that offers an education and side splitting laughter?
As far as no class, very perceptive. I never rode my mule, Ruth, to town.
I did not want to show off, I drove my 1940s Ford tractor to town, pop. 608.
And further, Hee-Haw was and is the greatest TV show to have ever aired.
Well, I have to check my first batch coming off my still. My best to all that had an opinion, I look forward to learning some S&W facts and have a good laugh. Mike 2796

So, as a suburban bay area kid, I have always wondered if
a certain brand and way wearing bib overalls was prevalent
when going to town, so as not to appear too snooty ..........

 

[gmborkovic]

Heck no Gaucho1, you aint snooty. The irony of it all is that I went to a quite proper English school and graduated from Loyola Univ. My bibs, I wore them everyday I was at the farm. Mod 42 in one pocket and a Mod 38 in the other. I would buy my bibs at the old Southern States Co-Op store in town. Can not remember the brand but had all the brass buttons. And a pair of Red Wing boots, no socks. Country folks are a lot more snooty than you Bay area or urban folks. When I went to town, just got a broom and swept them off. Best to you and good hunting, and have some of that great seafood down at the Bay. Mike 2796
PS. that first batch turned out smooth with another pass thru the coils.

 

[Nightowl]

Well, this thread surely has been amusing!

Yes! That's what I mean. But all six shots, and I could do that with either of my Pythons or the S&W N-frame .357's.
Neither seemed to have an edge.

Not always, but on a good day, the guns did it when I could.

Was this at 25 yards?

BTW, there may be a chance that is a six-shot group. An extra bullet may have gone between the holes on the right. I've had it happen. Those guns are fantastically accurate.

Ditto for the M-29. The holes are just bigger. Of course, the gun kicks a lot more.

On more average days, the bullets still usually hit in the 9 and 10 rings, with some X's.

 

[Old TexMex]

Amazing, isn't it? The internet....the fantasy ends when the posters meet in person. You can tell, too...

 

[Art Doc]

Over the years there have been several guys on the Internet I desperately wanted to meet in person but never did.

Probably a good thing.

 

[Old TexMex]

I know, phenomenal individuals with incredible skills abound.
I enjoy Saxon Pigs photos, not to mention the stimulation.
A real life modern day Boswell!

For clarification, I offer the quote (and quite respectfully, in truth):
"I have found you an argument; I am not obliged to find you an understanding"

For the record..........I grew up there.........but I always had a
yearning to go further west............and I live in the country.

Seafood is good here too.......
