LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L

Big brother to my Ruger Speed Six. I've had a dozen Security Six, Service Six and Speed Six revolvers over the years. I've taken a vow to not let my current Speed Six get away from me. Ruger no longer offers repair on them, so if you break a part, it's off to Numrich Arms, or have someone make it for you. They are tanks, though. I've never broken one in all the years I've been shooting them.

Known as the "Block 40" in the inner city...

Looks more like one of Schoolmarm's skillet marks, but I'll go with your story. Hope all is ok, and you get to feeling better quick.

The boss called an impromptu meeting at work. After all of us were seated, he asked "Can anyone give me some examples of useless?" I raised my hand, and he said, "yes, and what are some other examples?"

Made my own Oklahoma Burgers (aka "Smash Burgers) last night. Infinitely better than bought. 4 oz of ground chuck rolled into a ball, then pressed flat (about 1/4" thick, about a 5" circle). Liberally season with kosher salt and black pepper. Butter a hot skillet (medium high). Place patties in hot skillet, and immediately press about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of very thinly sliced onions on top, and over sides of patties. Cook three minutes, and carefully flip, cooking two more minutes on second side. When flipped, place bun bottom on the patty and stack top of bun on this. Put lid over the entire skillet. This steams the buns. Remove buns, and place slice of American cheese on each patty, and cover for 30 seconds. Remove all, and assemble burgers. Recommended condiments and dressing are mustard and pickles. I opted for mustard only, but I did make mine a double. Nearly hurt myself eating it all, but it was so worth it. The crust developed on the patty from the high heat is one of the signature traits of this burger.

I'm expecting at least 50% off...

It's Frank Hamer's birthday.

I have worked for an engineer. That picture is quite literally the way his thought process worked.

I got two DW 1911s. This is a good deal on a hard to find gun. Wish I had the coin.

Nope. No response on my part. Just get up and make space between me and them. Be ready to counteract any threat.

Tonight's carry was the S&W SW1911SC, a scandium framed 1911 45 ACP.

VZ grips. S&W N frame Boot Grip. VZ-320 in black/grey. I had to round off the seam at the front of the grip with a file, but otherwise they feel great. And the original factory grips are safe and unmarked in a box. https://vzgrips.com/products/s-w-n-frame-grip-boot-grip-vz-320.html

I like a six shot wheelgun. That's why I went with a 624.

I donated a few bucks. And obviously, there are a lot of people who do care. When I checked last night, the fund that originally had a target goal of $10,000 had already drawn over $45,000 in donations. Mike is a good one.

I need to start this process. I have hundreds of pounds of brass and bullets. More than I can ever shoot. And I've got guns that have not been out of the safe in a decade.

We do it about twice a year with the students on campus, and usually once a year at the McDonalds off campus. It's well received and we have good conversation with lots of people. And I carry a 1911 as my duty gun.

Congratulations!

My first cousin's given name is Junior. Supposedly named after a friend of his father's who was killed before Junior was born. I think they finally found out that the friend's name wasn't "junior", but that was the friend's suffix after a given name.
