JD Vance said they found 19 loaded handguns hidden around the house after his Mamaw passed away. She couldn’t get around very well.
Mamaw wasn’t fooling around when it came to protecting herself!
I only have 6!!!😄6?
You have some shopping to do!

It's not my intention to hijack this thread, but...
I'm a long-time user of real black powder and admit to never having tried APP. Some of the local shooters use it, but I've never witnessed APP produce any visible flame or fire or even sparks. I believe you got it right with "all the smoke" but I dunno about the fire. Am I mistaken?
You are correct. The smoke and fire is from BP. APP is pretty much smoke only.
When I stated APP loads yielded same results it was referring recoil, not fire. The smoke and fire comparison is only between full BP loads and BP/CoW stuffed loads.
Hope that clears it up.

THIS!
While I agree with the physics I have to expend some 2000+ 200 grainers first.

Me too. I've had to maintain a clean shaven face for 32 years at my job... we wear full face respirators, scba equipment, etc so I get it. When I retire I'm throwing away my razors.

This weekend I tried a new recipe for 45 Colt black powder. I had been using the standard "full load" to maintain simplicity but follow-up shots on the revolver were much slower than I wanted due to, you guessed it, recoil. I have been using Goex and Swiss FFg as my BP choice but my APP loads yielded identical recoil results from my Rugers. Bullets are BP lubed 200 grainers. Based on suggestions I obtained from posting on this site I tried a BP load of a Lee 1.6 cc dipper followed by a 1.0 dipper of filler, in this case I used Cream of Wheat. Fed 150 LPPs.
The results are much lower recoil with all the smoke and fire. Not zero recoil, but MUCH more manageable. Sure, it takes another step in the reloading process, but very worth the extra effort.
Hope some of you find this helpful.

I made that same drive several years ago in November and it was stunningly beautiful. You have bountiful beauty in every part of your state, UB. (Insert jealous emoji).

I use one shooting duelist for classic cowboy(BEST CATEGORY EVER). I shoot 7 1/2 Rugers and that cross draw really helps me to draw my weak hand pistol. Everyone tells me to try double duelist, but I just plain ole like the cross draw! That and my left hand is stupid and does not know what it needs to do..
You need to quit babyin' your left paw and git yourself shootin double duelist, little brother. You'll love it AND look cool doing it.

Currently studying the situation, Warden. 😁
I was thinking this combo is not all that common. Not that I'd compete with it but it sure looks like a decent potential addition to the collection. To sport it up with this shiny nickle finish I'd need new gunleather with plenty of spots and silver and probable matching chaps. See how this can steamroll and get out of control?
RRW, I'll let you know if I pass.

Today I found a LNIB nickle finished, 44-40, 5 inch Schofield at a local gun store. Beautiful! Heavier built than the Smith and Wesson PC Schofield I had. Definitely a solid and tight firearm.
Is this combination of finish, caliber and barrel length somewhat on the scarce side?
I was tempted, but would most likely not ever compete with it. Still, would make a fun gun!
Appreciate any insight into this model.

I saw Horizon and very much enjoyed it. Lots going on but very well done in about every aspect. Looking forward to part two.
It's a western and well done. We need more of the same.

Got the gun stuff right, along with most everything else....
Were those revolvers in the trading post Dance .44s like they said?
I think they were Walkers. But correctly converted Walkers.

SDJ,
As far as military expenses go, let's not forget the $86 B in military equipment left in Afghanistan by this administration.

Truly a great. Rest in Peace, Donald Surherland.

After somewhere around 20,000 rounds I had to replace the small indexing ratchet. Other than that, I reload 8 different calibers on my Lee Classic Turret with zero issues. It is a great affordable press for reloading.

19 loaded handguns

80% of all people shot live? Guess they weren't shot enough. (Assuming the criminal element here.)
Stabbed in the home may very well have been done with the largest knife in the kitchen. I mean, why not grab the largest? A large kitchen knife will make a huge bleeding wound, deep or slashed. A 9mm hole, not so much.
Now a 44 mag hole, well... 😀
