My son just told me he doesn’t want the pearl grips replaced, likes the look of the black grips I have on the mate of the one shown. So thanks and watch out for scammers using DMs!! Make sure you are dealing with SASS members only!!

There is Ok Corral Outlaws that's maybe closer about less than an hour and a half away depending on where you live in Sebastain. The club is located in Okeechobee. Googlemap it to give you an estimated distance and time of travel. Sorry can't answer your question regarding Okeechobee Marshalls, but someone might chime in with the answer.
Thanks for the reply do you have their website?

Man, I can tell you weren't on the South Side! You put ketchup on a hotdog, if you're over 10 years old, you'll get hurt!
Be 71 in August, beat stage 4 metastatic colon cancer and 4 heart attacks, ketchup doesn’t scare me.

I am moving up to Sebastian within the next 2 months and my son suggested we look for a SASS club close and start shooting again. I see this club on the SASS club page but their website isn’t active. Any one know anything? Thanks in advance

Will someone please explain in simple terms WHY the hate people have for it?
People who will rub 10 pounds of brown sugar into something, and then slather a sugar/vinegar glaze on it while smoking it complain about ketchup, usually saying it's too sweet.
I never met anyone who didn’t like it, grew up in Northern burbs of Chicago and everyone put it on hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. Guess it’s a Midwest thing as most of my relatives in Wisconsin were the same way! But if someone doesn’t like Ketchup, catsup or whatever you call it so be it. Oh and only Heinz, even though the owners are way to the left!!

No it is not. Forum members get PM permissions even if they never made a post "out front." SASS members can post threads in the classifieds, this is an honor thing; report those who are not SASS members (even though they are forum members). Forum membership just requires an eMail address. A seller (or buyer) must decide on their own if they want to sell to (or buy from) a non-SASS member. This is where legitimate posts come into play, a seller (or buyer) can look to see if the other party looks like a legitimate forum participant.
And in any case, do not use "cash apps" (PayPal, Venmo, etc.) for anything prohibited by the rules of those apps. Scammers will take your money and even if the cash app gets it back, they will not give it back to you. They will just cancel your account for breaking their rules. Which you did do.
I BEG to differ, it is the point that there needs to be more security with the DMs in connection to Classifieds. And limiting the use of DMs to only SASS members doesn’t seem unreasonable IMHO! In fact to have that privilege might increase membership and that would be a good thing yes?

Back to the Volcanic carbine/rifle. If you look at it from a historical perspective, the 1860 Henry repeating rifle IS the cartridge version of the Volcanic!! Other than dimensional variance, it’s visually what the cartridge version of a Volcanic would be.
I think it is possible that the Volcanic pistol will sell well. I honestly don’t see the same potential for a carbine or rifle version.
And that is why I thought the guys at Henry Rifle would design a modified one to match a Volcanic!!

This scammer's name came up earlier. The mods probably deleted all contacts he had with members and/or the SASS Forums. That would delete your PMs with him also.
Anyone that contacts anyone and states that a "friend' has just what you're looking for is a scam. There is no friend, just a scammer looking to take your money. Isn't new....pay attention!
Well this happened just yesterday, so I did look to see if someone had posted and didn’t see it mentioned.
I think it would solve a lot of issues that only SASS ACTIVE MEMBERS HAVE ACCESS TO DMs!!-

Sounds like another scum scammer, thanks.
Definitely, but the point is that I thought the DM world was scammer free zone as only members could access each other. Appears to me that there is a problem with becoming a member on the SASS wire!!

I received a DM from the “member” below about a friend who had the pearl grips I am looking for and sent me a message to me containing an email address to contact. I did and was replied to with an outrageous price and no images of what he was selling me.
I decided to reply with a polite no, and went back to tell the member thanks but it was priced to high. The messages in the conversation are no longer available, which confirms that I was approached by a crook. However I was not contacted by whomever deleted the messages.
So I am thinking that a “fox was able to get into the henhouse”, and even though I haven’t seen the scenario being discussed, might have missed it, I wanted to warn that the scenario is possible now. Now even direct messaging is not a guarantee that we are dealing with members.

Anyone else going to be at the Tulsa Arms show this weekend in Tulsa, OK? I will be there at our usual location on the north end cap of row 17A, same island as the Guns International guys just on the other end. I have a bunch of cowboy guns on the table at some great prices. Liquidating the collection of a long time cowboy shooter who is nearing the end of his trail. Stop by and say "Howdy" and check out what we have, 3 tables of guns!
Sounds great except for all of us not in OK.

This has to do with changing an illegitimate law created by government overreach!I have had packages lost or delayed and have said so here! In each case, the package was found or the loss covered. Part of that success has been due to my having followed all the rules and regulations and the rest was because of my own persistence in going through the process.
Still! This is not about the performance or lack thereof of the Postal Service!!
THIS IS ABOUT RESTORING A PART OF OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS THAT WAS WRONGFULLY DENIED TO US!!
Both the seller and I went thru all the processes outlined by the USPS filing a claim number and continued for over a month calling every few days asking if it had been found at the OPA LOCKA distribution center. The excuse we both got was that they were checking all the containers and that sometimes the package remains in one and is shipped back out. The issue was that the FFL didn’t insured the package!! I believe he filed a complaint with the Postmaster General. I got tired of the ladies in their customer service not being able to get “intelligent” responses from the employers on the distribution floor. I am sure it was stolen by an employee.

Thanks but I can only visit. American immigration was never what most would think would make sense. Middle class immigration from similar culture never a thing.
If you are retired with some savings or wealth. Same thing. Can only visit. You can't just become American.
Don’t tell that to all your countrymen who come and visit me in SE FL as snowbirds for a few months. I believe they think themselves citizens by default and longevity of stay. And watch out for them in Costco parking lots as they are ruthless when it comes to open parking spaces!!🤠

I love the content of that cap and ball videos. Sometimes I watch them. I have trouble understanding him with his accent. I have to have hearing aids in and TV volume cranked right up. Haha
But if it was an added 10 new members to SASS besides all of us existing members that would also shoot it, would it be worth it then? And if the pistols sell how much more designing would it take to add a carbine/rifle that again would add possible new members as well as the rest of us buying them. I love Winchester lever actions and have either an original or replicas from a Henry thru 1895, and to add a Volcanic pistol and possible long gun would be great!
I remember seeing Bill Koch’s collection in WPB FL at an exhibition he did after he bought the Billy the Kid tintype and he had both pistols and long guns. I also had a chance at a Volcanic pistol at a gun show down here in FL for 15,000, way out of my price range. I will also watch for the opportunity when they come out.

Will the USPS Allow Handguns to Be Mailed?
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on April 2, 2026, published a proposed rule that would permit the mailing of lawful handguns through the U.S. mail for the first time in nearly a century. The change aligns Postal Service regulations with a January 2026 Department of Justice (DOJ) opinion declaring the longstanding federal ban on mailing “concealable firearms” unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
The proposal, detailed in the Federal Register, revises standards in USPS Publication 52 (Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail). It expands “mailable firearms” to include pistols, revolvers, and other handguns—previously classified as nonmailable—under the same conditions already applied to rifles and shotguns. Firearms must be unloaded, securely packaged according to “Domestic Mail Manual” guidelines, and bear no external markings indicating the contents. Most shipments require USPS tracking and signature confirmation at delivery. Mailers must also comply with the Gun Control Act of 1968, state and local laws, and all other federal regulations.
DONT DO IT!! USPS LOSES FIREARMS AND OFFERS NO EXCUSES, NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES INSURED SHIPMENTS. I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT A CIMMARON 1887 I BOUGHT FROM A PARD ON THE CLASSIFIEDS BACK IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR!!

I always thought that Henry Rifle might have thought about making them as it would close to a shorten version of the Henry 1860 rifle.

Took up Needle-Nose Tom’s offer but that was only one side, still looking for a gold emblem set as shown in my attached pictures. These were the pistols my son started with in SASS until a club member let him shoot a Ruger Vaquero in .357 and then he was shooting my set of Ruger Vaqueros in .44 mag shooting .44 special. Would really like to find a replacement pair.

Sorry for not getting back sooner to all of you but I was at our “new” house in Sebastian FL and didn’t have access to my son’s pistols. I need both sides to have the gold Colt emblem in them. Needle-Nose, if you want to send me the left panel I’ll take in case someone has only the right or to keep in case one gets damaged. Otherwise I am still searching.

Looking to replace damaged ones on my son’s Nebraska commemorative.22 SAA. Anyone have a set or a source for them? Thanks.

Just unsafe practice to use incorrect ammo in a gun it is not chamberd to use .
And is this in the handbook? Or is it just your observation?
As I said previously I did not or have not “competed” in state, regional or EOT matches and would only go to them to see the shooters their equipment and vendors. So there would be no advantage taken or danger to other shooters.
Enuf said on my part.
I thought only SASS members could join and use direct messages?

I was referring to access to DMs, not the Forum. I believe listing items for sale is a privilege of a SASS member, not a Forum member and being a SASS member allows access to DMs ability. You talk that it would be a grave yard but perhaps the opposite would be true as people would then join for that access. Guests can have access to certain privileges but not all. Or not that is just my IMHO.
