My foot doc's say I have to wear custom made boots ands shoes with custom insoles Redwing made me a nice 8 inch pair of lace up boots and I just picked up another pair, sorry I don't remember the brand, from my local Hanger store Sad to say my 17 inch boots just set in the closet and collect dust as I can't wear them all day anymore

I make my own leather and have problems with both shoulders ( 8 surgeries between them so far) . I have dropped my holsters 3" and while I love my 71/2 inch barrels, I have gone to 51/2 and 43/4 inch barreled guns

Several years ago, I was in a battle with the Gov't people about disability (it took 4 1/2 years) I had to sell my Dillon 650, and several guns to help make ends meet. I was left with a Redding Turret, It's slower than the 650, but works just fine

I have 2 of them, 1 92 in 45 Colt, and 1 Chiappa 12 ga. Love them both I do living History and gunfights with a group called The Southfork Regulators and all my pards in the group want to use them in our skits

I have one of the Mares leg Chiappa that I use in Reenactments Its hard to keep it out of the hands of my fellow reenactors They all want to use it I also have 2 Coyote Cap 1887's and most of the time all 3 will be in the skit

We just put our house on the market The 1st thing my Wife said was no more guns until we sell this one and get in a new house Then she told me I could buy 2 new Liberty safes for the new house

I have 20" and 18.25" barreled guns But my go to gun Is a double with 26" tubs I just like the way it swings and stops on target

I have had both for over 25 years Never had a real problem with either, but the Dial seems to take 2-3 tries to open my next 1 (and I'm looking) will be E-lock

I had a problem with one gun I purchased from them Sent it in and had it back in less than 48 hours.

I will not load ammo for others, due to the liability that comes with doing so Without Insurance, and a license It is just not worth the headaches that could come with it

I have cast my own bullets for many years, and have made my own alloys depending on the need. I enjoy doing it, but plan to buy my lead already mixed from a couple of places I have found on the web The one thing I will point out is by the time you buy your lead and pay for your molds and other equipment and figure your time it's cheaper to buy your bullets

I have the Lee Shaver sight on my pedersoli Sharps, it works well On my 86 I added the same sight as is on my Browning 45-90 Hi-Wall

I started with the Lee pots many, many years ago Have owned several lee pots, still have one and they all either dripped or just ran like a water hose Use it to pre melt the lead for my Lyman and RCBS pots Even had 2 Ballisti- Cast machines for several years. Was turning out 4000 bullets an hour 6 days a week and could not keep up with sales But for hand casting the Lyman was my go to pot over the RCBS

I find the Saeco steel molds to be some of the best. We ran them and the H&G, RCBS, and Lyman molds on casting machines The Saeco molds lasted the longest and were casting good bullets lone after the others were done If you go with the Lee, the 6 cavity molds are the best for the money

I have shot at many clubs using rebar stands, in fact I helped build many of the stands these clubs. Never had an issue with splatter or bounce back
