  1. More beans, Mr. Taggart? Of course. That's an excellent start line regardless of the weather...😀
  2. I like cold with snow. I like low humidity heat. I hate cold and windy. I hate hot and humid. Ya see, my heavy leather shotgun chaps work best under the weather conditions I like. 😀
  3. Could be worse... Cold is always worse. 😀
  4. My TTN is my preferred hammered coach shotgun. It was slicked up when I bought it. And I don't know by whom. It has served me well since about 2010.
  5. I hear you. Around my neck of the woods rudeness and selfish, entitled behavior is quite common. Bad driving is abundant in my area. Bad is not even the right word. Damn horrible might be more accurate. About everyone on the road is watching their phone and swerving everywhere. I'm the idiot driving a straight line
  6. Look into the Lee Classic Turret Press. Quite affordable. Easy to use. I load 11 different calibers on mine. Bought this specifically for cowboy. It has been trouble-free since day one. I can load 250 to 300 rounds per hour but a more leisurely pace will yield 200. It is a great piece of equipment on which to learn reloading.
  7. The 5906s I had (yes, a later version) ran thousands of rounds flawlessly, as did my 4506s. I suspect earlier magazines were faulty thus resulting in problematic reliability of the gun itself.
  8. The weight of a Glock was certainly helpful in becoming universal. The all steel Smith and Wesson autos were great and still are fine firearms, but they were heavy. Especially my favorite, the 4506. The 1006 weren't not no slouch neither but too many agents of the FBI couldn't handle that round. Do more shooting, guys. Get proficient with your side arm, stop complaining.
  9. I have a 1917 that at some point was refitted with a cylinder that chambers 45 Colt. Interesting gun. If only it could speak...
  10. 18 to 20 inch works just fine for this game, imo.
  11. Insurance costs being what they are... newer vehicles are insanely costly to insure in many cases, but people keep doing it because they like to have new vehicles. Even drivers with clean driving records get to pay the high insurance rates to cover a depreciating asset. No thanks. I drive vehicles generally in the 10 to 15 year old range to avoid the high extortion rates of property and sales taxes on vehicles as well as stupid high insurance rates (and I do have a spotless driving record). A new car smell just ain't worth the cost. Of course, some vehicles are always more expensive to insure than others. A Toyota Camry will be much more affordable than say a Jaguar or Corvette. Younger drivers also generally pay higher rates than more older drivers.
  12. Here is the new Colt offering that harkens back to the old Detective Special.
  13. About time! 🇺🇸
  14. I have been following the Wiley Clapp editions of several firearms for many years, since the Wiley Clapp Colt 1911 came out. Every modification made to that gun was perfect. I should have snagged one. All his suggestions. Same with Ruger. The Ruger GP100 and SP101 Wiley Clapps are also very well additioned, from the standard line of Ruger DA revolver guns.
