Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439

Everyday but Sunday would be a 4 screen B&W comic and Sunday it would be in color I think 10 screens. One of my favorite growing up!! Again I think they stopped in early 70’s if not earlier. Enjoy!!

Those remind me of Hipshot’s pistols in the comic strip Sheriff Rick O’Shay, that I would read in the Chicago Tribune during the ‘60s! He had tried the “new” 1873 Colts both they malfunctioned and he went back to his Navies! Great comic!

I have lucky finding Colt presentation cases for blackpowder pistols on EBay.

This is a great price for a P226 in 9mm! If I didn’t have 2 in .40 I would be buying it. I am looking for another 9mm conversion barrel for the second one. If you have been shopping on Gunbroker like I have you will see what a great deal this is!!

Where did you get the purple grips?!? I showed my wife the first sixgun she might want and it is because she loves purple!!

Only negotiate transactions thru SASS PMs!! Take it from someone who has been swindled. Going thru the PMs will at least prove the person is registered, no guarantees that the deal still couldn’t go south but at least you have a better chance tracking them thru SASS!

If you love Colts and can get a new production versus an original, doesn’t matter if you can use it for SASS. I got a new Python and a new King Cobra when I couldn’t afford the originals. I would consider it and if enough were made and bought, SASS could also come up with another category only for those.

That’s no fun!! I was hoping someone on this forum knew.

Was look at the ad for one on he Merchant forum and was wondering what the capacity of the rifle would be. I looked onto Taylor’s website, was surprised to see it is “made in the USA” and the saw the capacity with an 18” barrel of only 10 rounds? I was thinking it would be more like 14-15 rounds. I missed all the posts when this rifle came out so if someone address this my apologies up front. But I am amazed it is more as I am looking at a 9mm cartridge compared to a .44 special and it’s about half the size? So what am I missing, is the spring stiffer only letting 10 be loaded? Or is it an engineering design to meet the standardized 10 rounds per stage? Just curious, if it had a much higher capacity I might be interested as a defense rifle, but only 10 rounds…. thanks for the replies and info.

You might want to seperate the 2 guns in the title, when I first refit I thought you were just selling the Norinco model, then was surprised to see two shotguns. Just a suggestion

I have one of those for my P226 that works with all 3 calibers, 9, 40 & 357, very well. It locks the magazine in place and holds it while you are loading. I definitely recommend them.

Don’t put personal information here!! You will get attacked by scammers and notify people that you also have firearms!! I understand you want him to contact you but you need to do this in PM or you might pay the wrong person!!!

Numrich Arms.

Absolutely!! Brand new pistols at $599 I’m .44 mag/spcl is hard to beet. I thought Hertage also made a big frame revolver in .44mag for around that price as well.

Just a suggestion from a fellow cowboy who started with ,44 mag pistol and rifle to pair with my Colt New Frontier in .44 spcl. I looked up your new pistol and swing a price of $1,100 makes me think that you should look into used Ruger Vaqueros and Blackhawks on Gunbroker for a lot less usually half. Just a suggestion.

Wow, here we are going to differ! I like the Winchester logo on my lever actions, and if it comes with a lot of writing, it doesn’t bother me!! I have a lot of Winchester made in Japan as well as here and I love them. The only Italian one is the Navy Arms Henry .44-40, because I couldn’t afford the US made Henry, but if they would license to put the Winchester name on theirs, then I would sell the Navy Arms and some other of my firearms to buy one! But hey that’s me, and nothing against you for wanting an Italian. Pension instead.

Ahh, my mistake I don’t remember the restaurant from my times I visited Tombstone but that was back about 15 years ago. My bad!!

That’s funny all the Longhorns down here in South Florida don’t take reservations, they are too busy. Interesting. And yes I think that was rude as well not showing up but I also believe that there is something else to the story because no manager would put that many tables out of commission unless there were connections to the party. Not the whole story here I think.

They weren’t, as the date seems to have been miscalculated!! And it also appears they weren’t around before the Egyptians! Finally a civilization that come up with the concept of the number zero isn’t full of shit although until the Spanish came over and other Europeans their eyes are brown!! Don’t mind me, I am just married to an 87% Mayan Indian Princess for 32 years been to Guatemala and have never seen a people who work harder with their work ethic!! Any country who can continuously pick themselves up after devastating earthquakes and volcanic eruptions killing thousands isn’t full of shit!! So the end still be near, we can only hope that the gringos who tried to translate and do the calculations will do a better job. Nimble Fingers a lover of Mayans!!

Sent a PM FOR THE .30-30!

You are right I was interpreting “basic” as not having a lot of bells and whistles to keep the price low. My apologies for thinking outside the box with an inexpensive suggestion

Check out Taurus’ 1911 in ether blued or stainless. Great value and I believe they are no more 600. Shoot well, handles great! but there are a lot of “blemished” Colts out there for under 1,000! They hold on to their value!!

That wasn’t the first episode. The episode you are referring to was in the 6th season close to the end. The first episode starred Jack Lord as the bad guy he went up against.

I am turning 70 in 3 weeks and have been in the “game” almost as long starting in late 90’s. Seems I remember hearing that there was a lot of improvising with the guns that were available at the time mostly Ruger Blackhawks, some Colts, Winchesters and Marlins in different calibers, a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun to “compete” and rules made up as they went with a lot of leniency. As I said hearsay, what I read on the early days of this forum and various gun periodicals. As the sport became more popular changes in equipment and rules evolved. 40 years ago, even Colts were a lot cheaper, bought my first one in 1989 for $660. Winchester 94s could be had for $300, and I believe Blackhawks were somewhere in between. Ammo was cheap, .38 spcl reloads could be had for $.06 apiece and a box of either .44 or .45s were between $15-20, shotgun shell for a case of 25, at $5. Now there is a plethora of various new/used firearms of a variety of calibers, meeting the desires of SASS participants and SASS modifying rules approving firearms and calibers, as well as creating new categories to shoot in. So why not let people shoot .22s? Have a seperate category if you think there is an unfair advantage. Remember everyone complaining about “mouse fart” .38s not having the recoil of larger calibers and it being an unfair advantage? I do! No one cared enough back then and they won’t now. The enjoyment of shooting in Western style clothes guns and like minded people is what is important, not if someone is 6 seconds faster. Most compete against themselves, and the ones who made it a business spent the time, energy and the money practicing like competitors shooters in the other sports! Most of us just want to walk around healed fantasizing about being in Westerns with friends on a monthly basis! IMHO

Not everyone shoots for competition! I personally have never come in first place unless I was the only shooter in my category! But when my son wanted to start at 8, he had a pair of Colt Nebraska Commemorative pistols and a Winchester 9422 to start with a couple of Big Ed holsters!! He had a great time with them until someone let him try a Vaquero in .357 magnum and from there he was shooting my .44 Vaqueros and sharing a Browning 92 with me. Point being I am a Life member happy to shoot my club, dressed like John Wayne. I would go to a larger match, but to see the vendors!! But nothing against you that want to compete and that’s your option. I remember a lot of back about 15 years ago when everyone was switching to .38s in Vaqueros and Marlins because they were the fastest and “slickable”, while the rest of us stayed with .45s and .44s, very few .44-40s at the time. Lots of choices for fun.
