How does one cook a grail?

With Tony Chachere's CREOLE seasoning of course!

I thought a grail was a Southern hibatchi.

Holy Grails

In my dreams, a Barrett light .50, Semi-Auto.

Possibly obtainable some day, ANY 3" model 66. Preferably a consecutively numbered pair. I fell in love with the 3" model 66 the first time I saw it advertised in an Ashland ad many years ago. Got to admit though that I like the looks of the new style thumb latch. -Ed.

For awhile it was a Marlin pump .22, then I got this Model 37:

For awhile it was an HK P7, then I got one:

Then it was a S&W Performance Center Schofield 2000, then I got one:

I guess the only gun I figured I'd never get would be a .44 Special Ruger Blackhawk like Skeeter Skelton had custom built off a flattop .357. But then Ruger actually came out with the single action so I got one and had it engraved as a Skelton Tribute:

I guess I'm done....

I've thought about this for quite some time, and I have decided that I really want a Marlin Model 1888 lever action rifle in .44WCF. Either the rifle or carbine will do. The 1888 was a top eject that was made for only one year. In 1889 Marlin came out with the first side eject.

Some people say that the Winchester Model 1892 had the smoothest action of all lever action rifles. They're wrong. It was the Marlin Model 1888.

Here's the short version of my list...

Revolvers:

S&W Model 12-4, blue 2" RB
S&W Model 696 (no dash)
Complete set of NY-1 revolvers

Semi-Auto Pistols:

Mars Armament Retro 1911A1 w/ Herrett's D45 stocks
Novak HRT Browning Hi-Power
Sig-Sauer 1st Generation P239 SAS (.40S&W DAK) w/ XS 24/7 Big Dot sights

I believe this has been posted in the past but I think it bears a new go round.

We all have that one gun that we want so bad, and for what ever reason we have not acquired it and thus our lives are incomplete, the universe is out of synch, and all is not right with the world.

So what is your "Holy Grail" gun?

Mine is a decent, but not mint, Luger in 9mm. It will be only the second 9mm I will own, the other being my H&K P7M8.

Mine is an artillery Luger because of a Skeeter Skelton story that I read as a kid. His stories were great but eventually he's going to cost me big bucks! LOL

 

[Joe Kent]

For me I have 2 that are and probably always will be unobtainable. A mint condition 1921 Thompson in an FBI case and an equally mint Colt Monitor BAR.

How does one cook a grail?

To get the best flavor, very low heat -- say a very slow simmer -- for at least 15 years. Now that would taste great!!
