The FACT is not BS. How that FACT is being aplplied by many people is BS.

Time to give up on the BS about .45 LONG Colt. This is from the current catalog on Colt's website. https://www.colt.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/26-COLT-0200-COLLATERAL-Commercial_Catalog-RND2-FINAL-Flipbook.pdf

Nevada Sweep how does your club shoot it?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire
The stage instructions govern but the most common Nevada sweep is you start on either end of the target array and sweep back and forth until you run out of ammo. I.e., a continuous Nevada sweep. -
Nevada Sweep how does your club shoot it?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire
So you are shooting two separate Nevada sweeps? Pistol one 1-2-3-2-1 then Pistol two 3-2-1-2-3? Then you shoot five with the rifle and start over on the olpposite end and shoot five more? -

Locked up new Single action
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Irish Pat's topic in SASS Wire
Remove the cylinder. This will release the tension between the bolt and hand. Chances are the cylinder bolt did not reset on the hammer cam because of something your young friend did. Do the basics before sending it back for "repair." P.S. Remember the basic rule of Colt. Half-cock to load. THEN fully cock the hammer. Never lower the hammer except from the full cock notch.- 15 replies

Ruger grip shim and screws
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Col. Doug Mortimer's topic in SASS Wire
A few things to consider. How long of a screw are you looking for? Anything over 6-40 x one inch will be harder and harder to find. For example the Brownell's screw assortment stops at one inch. There are non-filister head screws available in more lengths. You may have to reform the screw head to fit your escuhtchen. The Brownell's escutcheon kit has a screw 1 3/8" long. You may need to consider that screw and change the escutcheons in your grips. If to large in diameter you may have to turn them down or make the holes in the grips larger. If to small epoxy may be your friend. If your screws are over one inch you may have to use a little ingenuity. -
Ruger grip shim and screws
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Col. Doug Mortimer's topic in SASS Wire
With a smile on my face and love in my heart let me ask you a question. Did you ask or did you do what I do which is look and if I can't find it I give up. There are five ACE's within a few miles of my house. They all have a section in their specialty fasteners section that have gun screws. HOWEVER, this is a grip screw. It does not have to be a "gun" screw. It can be any screw except nylon/plastic or maybe aluminum. Here is a photo of one of a 25 year old pair of Eagle Buffalo Horn grips. (I screwed the screw out so it can be seen better.) The screws are brass. -

This is the specs for the Brownell's screw set. Note the thread size. Will not work with Ruger. I already suggested where to find cheap 6-40 screws. Specifications: Material: 18-8 stainless steel screw; brass nut Thread Size: 5-40 Screw Length: 1-3/8 inches (3.5 cm) Package Options: Available in packs of 6 or 12 -
Ruger also made a small number of OMVs in .32 H&R/.32-20.
-
The .44 Mags are built on the old full size frame. Ruger made the NMV cylinders smaller and there was not enough room for the .44-40 rims. Notice the catalog photos of a .357 and .44 Mag. The .357 is marked New Vaquero the .44 Mag just Vaquero. If you look close the difference in cylinder size is apparent.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Col. Doug Mortimer's topic in SASS Wire
They are 6-40. Just pick up some fillister head screws from ACE. If they are too long cut them. It does not matter if they are all threaded as everything is inside the grip and you won't see it. -

Hmm. Let's see. Elon Musk was running DOGE. The left convinced their base that DOGE is an instrument of the devil and that Elon IS the devil. As a result several Tesla dealerships were torched and hundreds of privately owned vehicles were damaged by Dem zealots. Also as a result Tesla sales dropped about 20%. Yes there is a Giga Factory in Texas and I am looking at a new Model Y. But the fact remains that Tesla sales are down. -
Cowtown will rise from the ashes
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Rustler, SASS #33316's topic in SASS Wire
I now understand what you are saying. BUT there is nothing on the Cowtown Range website. The last communication they emailed out was March 18 and in that email they say they have not finalized range operations yet. They need to send out notices in a form most users will see. I looked up Practiscore and the first thing it demands is that you open an account, follow their terms and conditions, surrender the right to sell your information etc. At this point unless and until Cowtown Range sends out an updated notice and have something on their website I guess I will not be attending. -

Posted where? I thought Practiscore is a scoring program. If they don’t put something somewhere that cowboy shooters actually see they are going to have a pretty small crowd. -

Interesting that neither the Cowtown Range or Rustler have sent out anything about it. I would not be packing a lunch just yet. -

Mitchell SAA by Uberti: Hammer Safety Parts?

The safety in the old Mitchell's was a safety Uberti put in to meet import restrictions. Was never very effective and the guns function without them. -
