Gun Jesus says it's not a B&T9
If I'm ask, I'm gonna tell the reporter that it looks like a BR-549.

Some suppressed weapons do not cycle on purpose. they are quieter. It could be he had to manually cycle the gun every shot.
Thats my understanding, particularly if a semi-auto is set up with the correct springs, it can be
fixed as to not eject the empties.
But heck, if a person is gonna go to the trouble of changing springs, suppressor, etc...... he/she would
be better off using a revolver. If it was early in the morning, the noise wouldn't be a big factor anyhow.

This is New York...... so this will be his defense:
The CEO hired him to stage a 'fake' shooting and pretend to gun him down in front of what they both knew was
a camera. Somebody, somehow, replaced the 'blanks' with real ammo, which became a fatal 'accident'.
Because this was staged in front of the known camera, the installer/owner of the camera will be found 'liable'
and charged accordingly........... which in New York will probably be a light misdemeanor.
but first, the NY AG will find out if the camera is owned by a Democrat or Republican, which will determine the final charges.

Its slowly coming into memory and has something to do with
3 queens riding into Murfreesboro on broma bulls, selling a concoction of ice cream,
bananas, nuts and flavored syrups.
and one of their 1st visitors was rumored of giving birth to a little baby boy right there on the
Queens table.
The newspapers were forbidden to release the name of the baby but its rumored that on every
Dec 6th, this banana treat is enjoyed by many all over the country. The the question still remains:
WHO WAS THIS BABY?

Is it the day TW owes you a nanner split?
Somehow, that rings a bell. Except, if TW has anything to do with it, wouldn't that make it insignificant?
Maybe its "Nat'l Nanner Split' day.......... "NNS day".

There is something significant about Dec 5, 6, and 7th.
Seems like Dec 5th is the day BEFORE and Dec 7th is the day AFTER......... but I can't figure out WHY DEC 6th seems relevant.
Does anybody know why DEC 6th is relevant. Maybe because nothing important ever happens on DEC 6th. Maybe.
I just can't remember.
Maybe Blackwater might know. Hey Blackwater, do you know anyhiing about DEC 6th?

They can be a little rough on the hemorrhoids if they don't digest fully.
And according to TW, the more flavorable kind are those that still have a little 'jam' between the toes.
This type pizza is TW's 2nd favorite. His favorite is the Mtn Oyster / Cow Tongue combo.

Hey Rye,
it ain't just 'Buckeyes' that hate the Wolverines. Most of the places down south hate them also.
Down here, there's an old saying...... "If the Russians are playing Michigan, we'll root for the Russians".

It human nature....... PROTECT YOUR TURF. (your house, your car, your pride, etc......).
Heck, even your girlfriend needs protecting sometimes.
My thoughts: Adding insult to injury on Michigans part. But eh, its what they think they are suppose to do.
And then, I don't blame the Ohio St player for grabbing the banner, etc.....
It is sad when players try their best to have good competition and during the finality of it.......... they get an eye full of Pepper Spray.
Some mom and dad will probably get a lawyer over that and some officer will be probably be reprimanded of excessive usage
of spray. Ain't saying I agree....... I'm just saying that it could possibly happen.
EDIT: this can make great breakfast/lunch table conversation during this next week!

I'd say that the best way to get him interested i to introduce him to a few of the saloon gals... but that might not be politically correct. And CS, only lefties are in their right mind.
Nope, Speed first... Accuracy will improve with practice... but speed is harder to acquire and maintain. (IMO).
I'm in THIS ^ crowd.
Most folks can drive a car and turn left with no issues. But it takes some real learned skills and techniques to drive 200+ mph,
bumper to bumper, and not crash and burn. And that speed practice is where its at (imho).
And when that young whippersnapper discovers that a good set of single action revolvers can be as fast, or faster, than that
AR style rifle, he will start entertaining hisowndangself with more interest in some good Cowboy guns.
Here's wishing you well!

For Cowboy shooting, there is some REAL GOOD info posted in this thread. You'll have to decipher most of it
and find out what gonna work best for you.
Now for the other BIG PLUS in the C45S cartridge: if your pistols are Ruger's, you can load em up to .45 Super pressures
and some good 185 grain JHP bullets to make some dandy 'self defense' loads that are actually easy to handle in a Ruger single
action revolver.
On the negative side, unless your RIFLE chamber is cut for the C45S cartridge, you could experience some questionable
accuracy at distances greater than our SASS targets.
My Marlin 1894 in .45 Colt was set up to run C45S length ammo and although the Marlin gave me great accuracy with
.45 Colt ammo at 25 yards, it was pretty bad when shooting the C45S ammo.
Just thought I would share my experiences.

Tyrel,
if I didn't already own 2 of those, I would consider taking it.
I've handled a couple Marlins with the Longhunter action work and they are super smooth and reliable.
Best wishes......... and Happy Thanksgiving.

Personal story..... My own P320 and its malfunction history.
I bought one of the earlier P320's, a few years before their 'recall'. Their recall was due to a law suit dealing with
the 'Drop/Bang' situation of a gun owner, who won his case in court.
Anyhow, SIG recalled the P320's of certain serial numbers, of which mine was included.
Before I had a chance to return it, I was shooting it and seemingly got a couple 'double fires'. Of course, this could have
been my finger on the trigger. But then it happened.......... the gun fired 'out of battery'.
The magazine blew out the bottom and the magazine floor plate also blew off the magazine.
The grip panels broke in 2 places on the right side. (where my palm was).
The case split exactly into 2 pieces..... upper and lower, with the lower section looking like it was dropped in a meat grinder.
I don't recall any visible damage to the barrel or slide....... BUT, the slide was locked in the open position and jammed.
It was in .357 SIG caliber.... so there was some force behind the 'explosion'.
My hand wasn't hurt but did get a little 'sting'.
SIG replaced the pistol, of course with their NEW firing housing. And I've shot it many times since then with
no more issues.
From my own experience, I can believe that it could fire without touching the trigger on those early productions.

Mine sent me one of them subliminal message pictures of a 'Pepsi' symbol.
So now, I'm scrounging around my food pantry looking for a bag of chips.

I ain't a Colt historian, BUT.... according to Google,
Colt didn't chamber the 1873 in .45 Colt caliber until 1877 and
"Colt Frontier Six Shooter" was 'acid etched' on the left side of the barrel.
I didn't find anything about the grips.

I was in the 7th grade, in Mrs. Harville's 'Civic' Class.
She walked in the room to tell us all about it. At the time, I didn't know what "assassination" meant.
As my older brother would say...... "it was a bad day at black rock".

In that area of Tennessee, you have :
1. the Ocoee Rangers in Cleveland, TN
2. the Marauders in Ringgold, GA. (about a 15-20 minute drive from Cleveland.
3. Wartrace Regulators (about a 2 hr drive up I-24 from Cleveland.
4. Oak Ridge Outlaws..... about a 1 hour drive from Cleveland.
The Wartrace Regulators shoot the 1st Sat. Plus other Saturdays for Wild Bunch and Semi-auto/revolver type competition.
Oak Ridge Outlaws shoot the 2nd Saturday of the month.
Marauders shoot the 3rd Saturdays
Ocoee Rangers shoot the 4th Saturday.
Lots of shooting possibilities.
Tennessee is a 'Constitutional Carry' state.

Well, we do know that its St. Nicholas Day, the father of the origins of Christmas.
Of course, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee...... its also known as Jesse Williams B'day. (TN Williams).
To bad none of the 'Saintness of Nicholas' rubbed off on TW......
Although he still thinks he looks like Elvis.
