I wish I had one too! However.....I have a friend who has a couple of beauties. One has a short barrel and it's the one I have my radar on. I'm hoping I can get it. The Peacemakers are really neat. I have a soft spot for the Colt SA 22s. My dad has a Frontier Scout that was the first handgun I ever ...

OldWin

Those Falkens will be fine at 75 bro. I've tried em.

Yup, people suck. The whole country is bottoming out fast. Oh well..... just another day. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. I just don't know any other way.

OldWin

Yup. I think that is true, but I see the more solid families pulling back in close in the future. Like it was in the past, it is going to be a necessity. As this country further degrades, services will be even worse, and not to be trusted. Care for the elderly and young will need to be done at home,...

OldWin

I've got one just like it, but mine has a shorter barrel. Have the box with mine too. I traded for it when I was in HS. It's still in really nice shape, but I dont dare guess how many rounds I've put through it. Have a Scout convertible the same way. All the Colt SA .22s I've shot have been great sh...

Bingo. And if so, what it really amounts to.

OldWin

Rock on buddy!
Real men drive in any weather.

OldWin

Thanks buddy. I count myself very lucky. I am rich in what matters most. Probably why I really don't worry that much about money or economic conditions. I figure of we stick together, we will get by ok. Oh man! Having grown up on 2 wheels I understand what you are saying. It's no small thing, riding...

OldWin

I think many people put way too much faith in their handgun cartridge of choice. In reality, none of them are all that great a stopper when compared to even a mediocre rifle cartridge. I don't know as the chambering (within reason) makes much difference. What DOES make a difference is that it fires ...

OldWin

Hey, hey now...... Apologize?......spoiled only child? I don't think so buddy. :D When I was growing up, my parents were very good to me. Not in the sense of giving me stuff or letting me get away with murder. I had a very stable home with clear rules of do's and don'ts. They set a good example on h...

OldWin

Every handgun has to be judged as an individual. I carry a 1911 Springfield, a Colt LW Commander, a Glock 19, and a Colt Detective Special. I carry these guns because they have proven themselves to me. At the moment, I am proving out a Springfield Armory Ronin LW Commander in 9mm. But it has to earn...

OldWin

Hey cool buddy. We got Cornville, but you got Critterville. :D Drove up to camp this afternoon to see if I could break a trail in again. I had some wood in the back and we took up some other stuff. My old Ma even ride along. Kristy was down to the middle kids place watching the baby. Now Ma makes it...

OldWin

Those are pretty! Thank you for thinking of me buddy, but I'm good I think. Those the "Buckeye" versions? My buddy used to get those for another friend that collected Rugers. He had them all. Snowblowers.... Here's the thing. A big tractor mounted blower works good. We thought of putting o...

OldWin

Well, I guess that was a day. Had to fix my dad's snowblower. I put mine outside to melt off in the sun, as it warmed up some. Happened to notice the cotter pin was gone and the wheel retaining pin was halfway out. Whew! That was close. Shoveled out the back of the truck. My Wilson mags came for the...

OldWin

Hot water? Who said anything about hot water?

A 119 rounds?! Holy smokes. That's a lotta shootin. Probably not much hitting. Probably more chance of getting hurt slipping on all the brass.

Man, I'm beat. Think I'm gonna hit the hay. I'll be back tomorrow.
That's a threat!

OldWin

I'm here! Just got in from cleaning up. What a freakin mess. Then I ran over the old man's and dumped some dry gas in his blower. He said it was surging under load. That's usually a shot of water. I came in and took a shower. That's right! A shower! It's a big day. Now I'm sitting and watching Gunsm...

OldWin

Hahahahaha! Oh man. Yeah, when we were kids you had to be pretty tough. Thing is, so did the "bullies". Nowadays, they just have a public service announcement or a government funded program. But the bottom line is, nothing is done to the bully. When we were kids, anyone could be a bully if...

OldWin

Hey! Now we're talking! That'll be prices I can afford. I think I've seen that movie. I watched one just last week that was good, now I can't remember what it was. I hate that. Man I'm ready to get outta here. Of course, when I get home this morning there is more snow to clean up. Supposed to snow a...

OldWin

Yup. While I'm not a full blown germaphobe, I am careful in the winter. And have been long before the communist flu was a thing. If I go in a store, I wear gloves. It doesn't look stupid, cause it's cold and you need em in the winter anyway. And yeah, I keep sanitizer in the truck. Summertime, I don...

OldWin

Oh oh!

We used to have a hot dog stand here in town around that time. "Fast Eddie's Franks". No lie boys.

Worst part is.... I can't remember if I ever ate there. Now IM gonna be sick.

OldWin

Hey! That's really nice of you man. I can tell you care. Not just anyone will send you their sharted out shorts.
You can bet I WILL show em to Kristy. I want to brag up what a good pal I got.

OldWin

Yeah. My middle boy, his OL, and even the baby had some sort of crud. He was out of work for a week. They all seem better now.

OldWin

Man that sucks buddy. I HATE being sick. Hate not being able to do my normal stuff .
Hope you feel better soon.

OldWin

Yup. I'm always armed now. Have been that way for many many years.
Of course, when the story above took place, we were 16, so.....
Haha!

OldWin

I remember one time......... Me and a couple buds were heading out to our party pit to get set up for later that night. We had his 74 Firebird. We got to check our tire supply for the fire. In back of the pit was an old road. It was pretty rough and nowhere you'd take a car or 2wd truck. We saw ligh...

OldWin

Hahaha......Viagra toes! Must be tough to walk. We don't know what kind of action is going on in Cornville. Not a lot of news crews make it out there. Probably cause they wouldn't make it OUTTA there. Boys! That thar reportin' feller sure do have a purty mouth! He's purtier and better bilt than our ...

OldWin

Hey I'm here! Just been busy. Had a mess in the dooryard this morning. Glad I went out and cleaned up at midnight last night or it'd been worse. Then went over to the old man's and cleaned up. Now I'm at work again. These three day weeks gotta stop. I can't keep this up for 5 more years. Well....I d...

OldWin

Haha yup. We got the same thing at work. I tell all them losers they can work all they want. Me? I do all I can to be there as LITTLE as I can. I never miss an opportunity to rub it in them sum beaches faces. It ain't that I got a lot of money. I don't. But, I don't NEED a lot to be happy and live t...

Maybe it is a .38 short.

Haha yeah.

Well, full disclosure.......I packed a .32acp when I was a young feller. My first concealed carry gun. Matter of fact, I still have one. In 1903 Colt Pocket Hammerless guise.

OldWin

We've taken to calling them "Self Commencers", although I'm not the originator of the term. Speaking of 9mm, just yesterday I read that the young man who took out the Indiana mall shooter last summer used plain old CCI Blazer ball ammo. Surprised me, given the lousy reputation 9mm ball ha...

OldWin

Yup, I hear that. It seems like people are on the ragged edge everywhere now. The least little thing and they flip out. I mean flip out. Screaming, flipping the bird. Crazy. Don't seem that smart to me. You don't know who anyone is or what they are capable of. Just seems like anger is rampant. I don...

OldWin

Hey! I just noticed the Moosehead box! My favorite brew!
Nice looking iron buddy!

OldWin

Yeah I have a collet puller, but don't have a .35 collet, so it was back to the hammer.
Thats a good idea with the mallet. Thanks bud.
The pliers would have trashed the slug cause it was a plated bullet and they are pretty soft. But man! Don't the case grab em. Those came out hard!

OldWin

Well....I got a funeral to plan...... My poor old Midway inertia hammer bit the dust today. I know I've had it at least 20 years. I was boxing up some 357s I'd just loaded on my Dillon when I saw 2 that had flipped primers. Maaaan! Not bein wasteful, and being cheap, I wasn't about to chuck those su...

OldWin

If you think you want an SAA, but aren't sure about laying out the cash for the real deal, I'd buy one of the higher quality reproductions. Try it out. Shoot it awhile, and see how you like it. If you get the bug, and think it's just the coolest thing ever, start planning on how to get a real deal C...

OldWin

I must have missed that writing! I only remember the good colonel hammering on the lowly 9mm. :D I think I'll like this pistol, if for nothing else, it'll be cheaper to shoot. While I don't have a problem with a 9mm 1911 per se, I'd never have it as my first or only 1911. No way. I did order some Wi...

OldWin

Yup. I hear that buddy.....even through all the hair in my ears.
Noticed a shift in my eyes lately too. Close up is getting harder. Sucks.

The older I get, the better I was.

OldWin

I'll take ANY 1911 over ANY Glock ANY day of the week! I still have a Glock 19. It's ok, but a soulless tool. Like a hammer that doesn't have a wooden handle. A 1911 is more than the sum of its parts. There's a lot of muslims resting comfortably under the sand due to the Israelis prolific use of th...

OldWin

Cool pics buddy! Looks like all Harleys, but it's hard to tell in the pics.

Woolwax is like fluid film. It's a lanolin based spray on undercoat that doesn't form a barrier, but can seep and breath.
I used to spray used motor oil. It works the same way but is thinner, so it has to be done more often.

OldWin

GunnyMack wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 6:22 pm Jay ya gotta get yourself a tarp and tent stakes to collect brass but im with ya on hunting brass in the weeds!

I've done that!

Only problem is it's hard to move around while shooting. Need a mighty big tarp.

OldWin

Haha trust me, it's just as bad here. The roads are white right now, and it ain't snow.
I put my Jeep up in the winter. The Gladiator is my driver, but it has been heavily sprayed with Woolwax to keep from rusting.

OldWin

You're all heart Six. By teaming up and chipping in, old 45 did a lot better. Gifts like that would be hard for one person alone to do.
Thanks buddy!

OldWin

Thanks guys. Strangely enough, the 9s are harder to find than the 45s right now. I'm sure it's cost to shoot influencing this. So, I just got back from trying it out. Nothing formal, so no targets. Too cold to get very serious. I ran a couple bpxes of 124gr FMJ through it on some plates. It ran grea...

I just felt that I really needed to come clean. Too much guilt to carry.

OldWin

Well, now I've done it. I've owned, shot, and carried 1911s in one form or another for over 30 years. Full size, Commanders, LW Commanders, even a couple Officers (ain't doin that again). The one thing they've ALL had in common was they were chambered as God and JMB intended. The last couple years I...

Doh! That was a typo. It was 20 degrees.

Now this morning, it IS 2 degrees.

More than most things. :D It was real nice up there today. About 2 degrees and not much wind. Come on up bud! You got an open...
