    I'm a S&W snob, but several older ladies getting their first carry gun have liked the central location of the latch.

    Good point Deacon and some younger guys and girls getting their first revolver might like it too since they don’t have any experience with the side latch.

  2. We had 7 numbers as well. Area codes came in maybe 40 years ago. We also had names like Kenmore, Redwood, Ivanhoe etc. KE 1 7655 was our number when I was a kind. That’s, 531-7655. When we moved in 1959 our number was Andrews 1 0512 which was An 1 0512 or 261-0512 

    Those numbers now would have a 216 area code in front. 440 area code for the next county or area  and 330 for another county/ area etc.etc.

     

    Note: Ohio got area codes in 1947 but you didn’t have to actually use them until around 40 years ago. If you live in the 216 area code you don’t have to dial it before the number but you have to dial the area code for the next county or area that’s a different area code. 440, 330 etc. 

  3. Thanks to all who came out and helped The weather scared a lot of people away I’m sure but it never rained. It was actually a pretty nice day! 
    Congrats to Sixgun Seamus #1 Swiss #2 Lenny James #3 good shooting !

    Okay, just to be contrary, what makes this gun an improvement on previous J frames? Lightweight alloy frame? Already done. Concealed hammer? Done. Sights? Most J frames already have a replaceable front sight to add whatever you want. Polymere Boot Grip? Done a hundred times over. 

    The only "improvement" I see is the "ambidextrous, center-mounted cylinder release" which I never heard anybody ask for anyway. Will it help the Southpaws among us? Maybe. But anybody who's trained with ANY DAO revolver already knows how to manipulate the cylinder release.

    So is it just "The newest must be the bestest"? I don't know. S&W, among others have been making very well received revolvers for what, 130 years? I don't see it as anything needed. especially in the age of the Micro 9 with an optic on it that "everybody" wants.

    Well, any excuse to buy a new gun! 🤣🤣

    Wouldn't the RO have checked the gun? I would have IF range conditions were such that a problem could occur.

    It’s not the RO’s job to check guns at the unloading table. There’s someone there to do that. 

  6. All set up today! 3 of the stages were like a swamp so we setup the  3 stages that were fairly dry. Saloon, Livery and Mercantile. We’re going to shoot them 2 different ways EACH to make 6. Hope to see you there! Rain looks like it may hold off till afternoon and we should be done by then.

    The dumpster company is a private company. The holder of the property provided a credit card, the payment bounced. Then made promises for a while but never paid. But he did fill up the dumpster. A dumpster has two costs. Days of rental and the dump fee.

     

    The dumpster company finally came and got their dumpster, picked it up off the driveway, and emptied the contents (rent and disposal not paid for) before leaving.

     

     

    Ok thanks, that makes sense. Perfectly reasonable!

    My wife had Shark Tank on the other night and a guy who developed a tattoo machine was trying to get an investor (shark) to invest. Daymond John, one of the Sharks mentioned that he had over $300,000.00 invested in tattoos on his body and one of them alone was $70k!!! So all you tattoo aficionados what’s your priciest tat?

    I have one and it was $35.00. That was 40 years ago.
