PLUS ONE for Kid Rich. It really doesn't matter.

As others have politely mentioned . . don't even think about using it for CAS. Extremely dangerous.

I realize this ain't 'zactly whatcher looking for, but I just use one of my fired, or even live Magtech ALL BRASS 12Ga hulls. Works a treat. Since I shoot All Brass anyway, doesn't cost me anything.

Well Dagy Nabits anyway Lone Rider!! We'll be thinkin 'boutcha you betcha. Get better sooner!! Sacrifice an unruly local child to the Goddess of Weather for me. Mine didn't work last time 🤪

Dearly beloved . . . . Let Us PLAY 🤪 🤠

I rather like the Pietta OEM flat Sear/Bolt spring. I gives a nice crisp feel to the action and is quite light. YMMV

PLUS ONE for WIDDER!!! Absolutely I be a Gunfighter. Most of my Cap Guns are 3 3/4 SNUBBIES. My Open Tops are 4 7/8 and my 1860/51 conversions are 4 1/4. I prefer the balance and handling of short barrels. Capitol FUN you betcha!!

Never heard of it.

Only comparable to a lawn chair inna parking lot watching the Chrome Rust 🤣

I realize this has no bearing on the OPs current dilemma. But. Setting up to reload on a Carpet'd Floor?? What could go wrong??

The term "Coach Gun" as mentioned by Big Boston originated with the short muzzle loaders in England prior to advent of Cartridge Side by Side shotguns. "Coach Guns" as monikered in SASS/CAS never actually existed in the American West. Most notably, Wells Fargo never purchased nor issued shotguns of any sort to "shotgun guards." Nor, historically did any of the other providers such as the Overland Stage Co. Shotgun Guards were expected and required to provide their own firearms and the shotguns were same same as "sporting" guns. The short "Coach Guns" as mostly used in SASS/CAS are taken directly from Hollywood. Movies actually drive most of what we do, what leather we wear and our Shotguns. Oh, and the Shotgun Shells loaded with "dimes" was a Myth. Our version of Coach Guns are absolutely capitol FUN though, if not historically accurate.

Nope. Wasn't there. Didn't attend. Maybe they are also tooling up to produce a "new" Merwin-Hulbert too??? PS: this was actually "Tongue-in-Cheek"

YES!! Oh, I didn't know Rye could read 🤪

I have had TWO AMT Hardballer 1911s. They were without doubt the best 1911s I've owned. the first was a three digit gun that was also my "Duty Carry Gun" and I really don't remember why I sold it along with the Safariland IPSC Comp rig. The second I just "fell into." I sold it to fund a CAS gun. Of course in hind sight, I wish I hadn't sold either. My only current "Grail" is also an AMT Hardballer Long Slide (sigh). EYESA: If Sypress doesn't jump . . . . Shoot me a PM and start wrapping it for shipment 🤠

Depends!! (No not the "Depends" in the little plastic packages). Hammer configuration is dependent on whether one is a "Slap" cocker or a "thumb" cocker.

Certainly. I don't like Rugers.

Trimming pistol cartridge cases is almost as satisfying as sitting inna parking lot to watch the chrome rust 😜

Preferably, Two Olives, thank you.

In the circumstance, whether the revolvers were actually Webley, or Enfield, seems somewhat immaterial, yes??

If you have ever seen video or photos of a carrier healing over in a "hard turn" it becomes obvious how control of an airplane under tow could happen. Also, contributing, the "doors" of the hangar deck are seldom if ever closed. Now a salvage and recovery operation will be mounted to recover the airplane from the bottom. That ain't gonna be cheap by any means neither. Bad day at Black Rock all round.

Actually, the four "clicks" don't just spell "Colt." The four clicks also spell Uberti, Pietta, USFA, etc,. The "click" issue only became an "issue" when Uberti presented us with their latest Idiot safety, the retractable Firing Pin (sorta like a BIC). There is a bottom line. So long as the "safety" notch works, and the Half Cock works for safe loading, and the Bolt stops cylinder rotation at Battery and the Hammer stays at full cock as it should, and this all happens without "ring around the Cylinder" whether you can actually hear all four clicks is strictly academic. So long as a Colt Pattern single action works correctly . . . WHO CARES?? Does it really matter?? What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa??

As long as the cases crimp into the crimp groove and chamber, no trimming will be necessary. PLUS ONE for Savvy Jack

WHAT TECH INSPECTION??? Really?? You're just Kidding . . . right???

AN ENORMOUS PLUS ONE for Creeker!! In my end of the swamp, we once had several clubs with "can" launchers attached to shotgun poppers. The popper going down launched the can (well shaken) which was extra fun for the '97 shooters you betcha. The cans were a "bonus" but not a miss. GREAT FUN. Unfortunately, those clubs have since folded, darn it.

Unfortunately, it is not at all uncommon, that an IDIOT is handed the timer. Conversely, for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind to ack as spotters.
