I still have the DG badge you made for me many years ago. Good memories from that time.

STRs are a shit show for a quiet neighborhood. Fight it now because once they get a foothold, there will be more.

IIRC Inmates in California would get 3 sets of State provided outer wear and 5 sets of underwear with one pair of tennis shoes. They had to turn in clothing to be laundered weekly on a two day turn around. They also could hand wash personal clothing as needed because personal clothing could not be washed in the State laundry. Inmates working with food could get additional clothing as could inmates working in a particularly dirty environment. Camp inmates would get winter coats and hard soled shoes depending on their work assignments.

165 GR 45 Colt with 25grs of FFG with filler is a soft shooting load. Cut the 10ga down to 2 3/4" using 1oz shot over 65-75 grs of FFG and yer all set with your current gear.
20ga kicks harder than a 12 because of the light weight. If the Mighty 10 is too heavy, use a 12 ga. 60-65grs FFG under 1oz of shot.

In Orygon Territory they call it a Hydrological Event when the atmospheric river melts the snow because it's a warm rain. I guess they are trying to sound smart.

I have two boxes of .32RF for my S&W 1 1/2 as well.

I've never shot in an age based group and don't ever plan too. I shoot FCGF with cap guns, I use a Chaparral 1873 in 38WCF, and a hammer double because I like to make smoke.

Shorty, you are an icon from the earlier days of SASS and still a wealth of information on Colts. This is a perfect place for you and others from the Early Days of SASS to reminisce and catch up on current activities. Keep doing what you are doing.

Some years ago before there was a DNF designation, I shot only 8 stages of a 12 stage match and still beat several folks in my category who shot the whole match simply because of rank points. Another shooter at the same match won her category under the same circumstances. Had the match been TT, that would not have happened.
There's something about crossing the finish line behind a faster shooter and still winning the category that just rubs me wrong.
If it was a gunfight at High Noon, just because you put down the first three gunmen fastest doesn't mean you are the winner when you get killed by the fourth when your gun jams.

Gads Custom Cartridges reloads just about anything you need. He is showing 20 gauge for 16.99/bx. I've dealt with him and was very happy with his product. Call and talk to him if you want something special.

There are plenty of crossdraws out west and it rankles me that nothing is ever done about breaking the 170* or the 30* hang for that matter. The debate has raged for years with no real solution other than the "Cone" that was suggested some years back. That went down in flames but was a doable solution.
Even some of the best in the game break the 170* when holstering with the support hand. They are so fast most times that many don't see it but watch some videos, stopping it just before the muzzle goes in the holster. Almost invariably, the muzzle is pointed 10-15* in towards their belly since they gun is coming from an extended position.
I've grown tired of reminding folks and even telling the RO as, even when a warning is given, the shooters don't heed it for more than one stage or so. Unfortunately, we must suffer with the crossdraw curse if we want to play the game.
That all being said, I can see where the crossdraw has its advantages, especially for those with infirmities or a support hand that has a mind of its own. If you like the crossdraw, have some video taken during a normal match. Shoot the match normally and don't "act right" just because the camera is on. It can also help with speeding up the other transitions.
My 3 cents worth

Hey Bill,
Like others have mentioned, these are simple guns to work on and repair. The timing issue could be as simple as the indexing bolt spring is broken so it doesn't lock the cylinder in place. The hand being worn is another. If you want to use the old parts to keep it original, a good tig welder can add metal to worn surfaces.
Check with Eddie Janis at Peacemaker Specialists in Paso. He is a Colt guy and may be able to get you back to running. The other guy for info is Rowdy Yates in Orange. Don't know if he is working on guns any more but is a wealth of information on cap guns.
