Yul Lose

Very nice!

It can still be a cap gun very easily, no tools required. I just like the Old Army looks.

They will be at Bordertown.

Once you take them apart a couple of times it all makes sense and it’s more enjoyable than a chore.

Title says it all. With a little work they’ll work on octagon barrels too. SOLD!

I bought this pair of Old Armies from a pard who’s trimming down his cap gun supply. He had Snake Oil George shorten the barrels to 3 1/4” and install solid brass sights. The hammers were lowered when he got them and doesn’t know who did them but they did a nice job. I bought Kirst Konversion cylinders in .45 Colt and have been using Cowboy .45 Special in them and really like them. I wanted to install blued Belt Mountain quick change base pin kits but they’re going out of business due to retirement and only had stainless kits left and I think they look real good on them. The previous owner also had some very nice engraving done and installed some beautiful grips. All in all I think they’re a pretty classy set of Old Armies and will be my new main match pistols.

In my humble opinion, the Taurus Thunderbolt looks more like the original Colt Lightning than any of the others and I’m very fond of my Pedersoli Lightnings. Pedersoli craftsmanship is exceptional and Taurus Thunderbolt craftsmanship is bottom of the barrel. I had an opportunity to buy a Taurus Thunderbolt last year and after talking to Lassiter at EOT and finding out what it would cost to make it run, I decided against it. Right now I’ve got a Pedersoli Lightning with him that will be chambered in 38-40 and have the slam fire mod, can’t wait to add that one to the stable.

A couple of grocery stores in Escondido that my wife shops at shut down their self checkout because of the same problem.

Back when I first started CAS in late 2006 every stage at all of the 5 clubs I shot at started on the left and ended on the right. There was little choice of what gun you start with and rifle was never last. Over the years they've all changed to start on either side and choice of which guns to start with except for one club and it’s not around anymore. As a gunfighter I choose to shoot pistols last for some reason, I just like it better. When I shot 2 handed I didn’t care if pistols were last. Our game has evolved since I started and it will continue to evolve or decay, however you look at it. Most left handed shooters that I’ve talked with about which side to start on say that it doesn’t make much difference to them because they’ve learned to live in a right handed world.

What tool do you need?

Don’t have another pair of the Belt Mtn. Quick change kits do you?

That’s my take as well.
