  1. Not out of my "Old" Vaqueros but out of my Blackhawks I certainly have. Those share the same frame size. NOT the smaller mid frame Flattop, mind you. The "Old" Vaquero can handle those loads though. About all I shoot in my BHs are Tier II (over 14K psi up to 23K psi). John Taffin, Chuck Linebaugh and Brian Pearce have years worth of experience and load development with the 45 Colt +P realm. Fun stuff! I do prefer the Ruger Bisley for my non cowboy loads though... much easier on the hand and wrists.
  2. If the condition is good to excellent I would have never let that out of my hand.
  3. Thanks, MC! Yes, that's a size misprint. I'll fix it. 🙃
  4. Can deliver in person to PoP in Lenexa, KS on Thursday June 11. Face to face price W/O shipping $325.00
  5. $40 shipped lower US. Lightweight leather, like new condition. No indication of maker. Unlined. Definitely works for someone with larger wrists and forearms. Circumference: 9 1/2" wrist, 12 3/4" forearm end. Length: 6 1/4".
  6. A great find and stag grips always add some class to a blued sixgun. Happy shooting! 😀 And the 45 Colt is the perfect caliber for a sixgun. That BH will shoot about anything you want in terms of real (non cowboy) loads.
  7. $350 shipped lower US. Doc's Old West made matching buckle shotguns and roping cuffs. Used maybe 5 times, excellent condition. Medium weight leather. I have other chaps and cuffs that get more use. I am 6'2, and was wearing these at 220lbs.
  8. I think the guy on the couch might be this guy. Brad Williams. 😁
  9. I've been wanting to find a Bisley Hunter for a while... shoulda bought when they came out. I originally wanted 45 Colt but now that ever so elusive 41 mag is nagging me ever so subtly. Gonna hafta be patient AND hope for some OT at work or a good lotto ticket. 😲
  10. Received your pictures. Thank you. Looks like I have most of those copies already. Good luck with your sale... these are excellent reads.
  11. Widder, seems like the last time I saw those on the shelf they were priced around $1200. Those were the 44 caliber guns. That has probably been 8 years though now.
  12. Don't know how many made (certainly not a long production run) but yes, they are highly sought-after and shooters consider them rare. I've only seen 2 of the Hunter models on a shelves, both 44 mags. Occasionally I will see a 45 Colt pop up on GB and they sell high. You really want a unicorn? Try to find the .41 mag Bisley Hunter. 😯
  13. Ever see the old bumper stickers that read, 2B1ASK1? A man asking of his own accord is where and when it all begins. 😀
  14. I believe the first time I met him he was working the front entrance at EoT at Founder's Ranch, about 2009 ish. What a perfect first impression he left me with as my intro and welcome into the SASS world.
  15. I personally know several cowboys with whom I shoot throughout the year who are also Masons. One just recently celebrated his 50 year mark. All most excellent men. I love their friendship. WDFarren is correct. The Shrine, while an appendant body of Freemasonry, is a bit different in its mission than the other appendant bodies. Well worth looking into. If you choose to petition a Lodge, don't research too much... don't spoil the journey. Just do it.
  16. A bull moose or a tryrannasaurus rex are the only critters cantankerous enough and big enough to go head to head with an angry grizzly (is there any other kind) and mean it. 😀
  17. Is anyone else having difficulty seeing the pics? I'd be very interested in seeing the pictures of the Guns of the Old West magazines. What were the dates on the Guns of the Old West magazines?
  18. If you guys are worried about the quality of these shells and problems getting them to fall out of a double barrel just switch to an 1887 lever action shotgun. Those things cycle everything and anything. 😀 Cabela's is the only place I have found Low Noise Low Recoil. $14/box. They've always been 100% for me.
  19. My short answer is to petition the Lodge for membership and upon acceptance enjoy the degree work while working your way to the 3rd degree, the degree of Master Mason. You'll never forget it.
  20. I too personally know Catholics who indeed ARE Masons but they went that route in spite of the CC's view on Freemasonry. Some Protestant denominations also "prohibit" their members from participating/joining Freemasonry.
  21. I have seen it at the local Scheels at the $43/bottle price. Goes fast, it does.
  22. Always a great choice! Love that stuff!
  23. Anyone heard of these guys? There's a similar website, but very little information available on it. Anyway, ran across these the other day. Trying to find more information about it. Velocity in particular. It's all loaded with new Starline brass. Picked up a few of these still brand new wrapped in cellophane but no box.
  24. Looks like a pre-cross bolt safety model?
  25. From duelist1954's webpage posted about 10 hours ago: "Because there was no new video up yesterday, I’m getting queries about where I am, and if I’m OK. The answer is that I am as OK as I can be. Last Thursday, I was admitted into the hospital. It was unplanned, but my chest filled with fluid, and I couldn’t breathe. They drained over a quart of fluid from my chest, which helped a lot. For those of you who don’t know, that last month I was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. It has spread to my liver and thorax. It is terminal, so the treatments I’m taking are to extend my life, hopefully with some quality. While I was in the hospital, they installed a permanent chemo port into my chest. It goes into my jugular, and down to my heart. They did it under a local, so that was an experience. I also had my first 48-hour round of chemo. I tolerated it well, but post-treatment I am exhausted…no energy. Also, no appetite, which is not helping my energy level. So, I’m making an effort to eat something this morning. I spent a full week in the hospital. I came home last evening. I’m back in next week to have a more or less permanent pleurex catheter installed in my chest, so I can drain the fluid at home. And Chemo every two weeks. As far as videos go. I will make more if I can, but it is looking like a long shot. I appreciate, every one who have followed my articles and video. It has been a great experience for me. Take care of yourselves." Please say a prayer for Mike. 239
