I am lucky to live close to a SASS member who has made it a life's quest to collect S&W Performance Center Schofields. I will not out him unless he wants to be known, but I appreciate the opportunity to share his collection. https://americanhandgunner.com/handguns/the-sw-performance-center-2000-schofield/

Why? Most of these newbies postin' here never experienced what it was like when ya only had tote 3 guns. And didn't even need all 3 on every stage! And it was most convenient to share long guns, as then you only had to tote one long gun around... For Sgt Mac hadn't built the first gun cart. Within months they were so plentiful, parking was scarcer' than a muddy field @ Woodstock! A haybale was a common "table"... ya ever see what balin' wire can do to a gun's finish? If'n so, ya'd know that a horse blanket is a dad-blamed luxury! People'd complain if ya hung 'em with a new rope! BTW, have ya shot yer 4th match yet? 'Cause oncet ya do, they're likely ta hand ya the timer, and ya can no longer claim to be "greener'n grass!" anyway ain't May 'bout the time for AZ desert "grass" ta turn brown?

I'm pretty sure the roller skate wheels underneath the skateboard are trucks.

The Chevrolet Suburban is the longest running vehicle line in the automotive industry. It was, is, and likely always will be a TRUCK! It is, and always has been designated a truck by the maker and licensed as a truck when registered for highway use. What are called “vans” are also registered as trucks. The Honda Ridgeline, the new Ford Maverick, the Chevrolet and GMC Avalanche are all SUVs with birth defects! Buick lists the Enclave as a TRUCK! Those big ol’ groups of wheels and suspension under train cars are also TRUCKS ! Are ya’s any less confused now?? 🤪

I don't see the advantage. And, I feel it creates bad habits. Yes, I've seen shooters set their pistols down at the first or second shoot position and then waste time reholstering. To me it's a potential train wreck.

Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom? Because the p is silent.

In 2003, I bought a Ford Expedition because they quit making station wagons and I needed both the hauling capacity and the passenger acommodations. I sold it in 2018 and bought a Ford Flex because the Expedition was a bit high off the ground for us old codgers to climb into, and I wanted the cargo space and the ability to haul at least 5 pax. They call the Flex a "crossover" vehicle. Crossover from what? No it ain't! It's a station wagon! And they quit making them a couple of years ago. (Did they come from Canada?) And if I decide to get a new car for my 90th birthday in 7 years, what will I be able to buy?

Strange primer problem today
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 replied to Horace Patootie, SASS #35798's topic in SASS Wire
I will try something like this. I have never cleaned the pickup tubes but that's all I haven't done yet. Tried again today, after about 8 or 10 Remington primers, no go. Back to the CCI primers and just fine. I'll clean those pickup tubes tomorrow and try again. Horace -

Why? IF you don't feel there is an advantage - why would it bother you? And IF you feel there is an advantage - why wouldn't you utilize it? And lastly - as long as EVERYONE has access to this option; what difference does it make?

Video streaming services
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I tried that with directv. I was already sick and tired of their heavy push to give me “free previews” that were practically impossible to stop. I tried to cancel part to reduce costs, and I was told that the package I had was obsolete. If I wanted to drop anything they would have to update me to current package and costing. Finally told them to get lost and went with streaming services and never been happier. -
send it to Bob Munden’s shop.

Nothing to be sorry for at all. Keep asking questions and going to matches.

About a month ago I bought a 1957 Colt SAA in 45, knowing it needed some work. Even though I have worked on a lot of S&W double actions, this was my first time planning on working on a Colt SA. I did replace the broken trigger, bolt and hand and no matter what I do, it still skips time, it acts exactly like it did before I started working on it. Long story short, I firmly believe the cylinder stop notches are peened to the point of needing repaired by someone other than me 😃 IF I cycle it slow, it works fine but if I cock it with any speed, I can get it to go past the next chamber. I did have a long conversation with Christis Janis yesterday and sent her a bunch of pictures and she did not think the cylinder looked that bad from what she could see. I also explained that I plan on using this gun hard. She suggest their Gunslinger Job, I would expect to have them install a new trigger, hand and bolt. IF it needs a new cylinder that would also add a lot of money. What are your thoughts? Thank you, Duke

I don't write the rules. We started placing tables at the pistol positions incase of a malfunction. Then, it morphed into setting pistols down. Personally, I don't like it.

Dave - we are just ornery cowboys. We argue, debate, insult and act like fools. On the wire - there are some I adore and some I don't care one whit for. But the wire ain't real life - in the real world; I would stop for anyone of them and offer a ride, a bottle of water or help with a flat. Life is too short to worry about online back and forth bickering.

They're just a tool. When we are done with them - it's time to move on. And every scratch, ding, scuff and mark tells a story of a stage attacked with gusto.
