I'm trying hard to think of any of the "great works of literature" that I was forced to read in class, that I would enjoy reading again.
I got nothing.
How about Owen Wister's The Virginian?
Yup, it IS a great work of literature, by the way.

I too watched the entire video and found it quite informative although I did not agree with some of the sentiment.
As far as hoarding, define hoarding.
For several years I shot between 8000 and 10,000 9mm rounds per year. Needless to say I had quite a bit of ammo on hand, of course that was at the old pre pandemic Walmart prices which were quite favorable to high volume shooters. 9 mm ammo today is $13 to $14 per box of 50, 115 grain FMJ... Considering the almost hyper inflation that we have been enjoying not a terrible price but still hurts.
I think most of us probably have been watching this market pretty closely and have acted accordingly based on our needs over the last few years. Those of us who were already prepared were sitting pretty and probably still are.
As far as cowboy I agree with black powder or a substitute as being a very viable alternative to potentially running low or out of your favorite smokeless brands. There just ain't nothing as fun as lots of flame and smoke and a pair of sixguns.

I'm hoping they do a 41 mag in that.

I miss Skeeter's tales.
I read Skeeter's writings a little every month just to keep his work fresh in my mind. Because pure enjoyment.

After shooting a Thompson Center pistol with a 10” barrel using hot 30-30 loads at a couple of Silhouette matches I have no interest in even seeing a 50 BMG handgun.
The BFR in 30-30, an almost practical revolver... almost, is a 6 shot fireball machine.

The reason I like Fox News is it seems they report stories you just don’t see on the other channels. For example they’ve been on the border crisis since day one of this presidency and they’re on it every day. They do the same on Israel-Hamas too. Others can disagree but Fox is my go to channel. They’re not perfect but none of them are!
There is a reason MSNBC, etc, don't report on border invasion. I wonder why?

I use the same load and powder in my 44 and 45 caliber, love it! Super accurate and almost recoil free. I also use tite- group with a 3.5 grain behind a 160 grain bullet in 44 and 45 and the same gr.with 38 sp and a 105 gr. Bullet. Great powders, easy to find.
Recoil free? What fun is that?

I refuse to even consider shooting any of the IL matches. I don't even go into that state anymore. The liberals have added it to CA and NY as far as I am concerned. Now WA and OR are joining them. I am very picky about where I take my guns and ammo to shoot.

Lots of folks feel and do the same. It's called self perservation.

High Plains Hud from Lenexa, Kansas.
This guy is not only an exceptional shooter and competitor but the nicest darn fella you'll ever meet. He'll help you any which way he can and if you're lucky enough to beat him he'll be the first to shake your hand with a hearty congratulations. High Plains Hud is not only a fierce competitor but he has a contagious laugh and a wit that keeps you having way more fun than you should when he's beating you.
He has dressed a supurb classic cowboy style from the 1st day I met him years ago. I am proud to call him a friend and a mentor.

Look to Arizona, preferably in the center of the state...around Prescott or Prescott Valley. Had a couple of new guns shops open up here recently.
Love me a real gun shop.
I went through Salida, Colorado recently and visited Salida Guns. Now THAT place is a gunshop! Reminds me of real gunstores from the '70s and '80s. Kid in a candy shop kind.

Terrible news. Sad to hear this. Prayers for him and his family.

SBH hammers do help a lot, or switch to Bisley Rugers if they "feel" or point better.
I've tried short strokes on Rugers and find they do not offer near as much benefit as lowered hammers. The short strokes throw me off.
Dry firing. Lots of practice.
I shoot Ruger Bisleys and love them but when I put SBH hammers on my Ruger plowhandles I noticed they are a very close second in terms of speed even with the different grip design.
Try swapping hammers first. It is easy.

If the email or PM you get reads like you're talking to a customer service rep from another country located in a very crowded part of the world it is probably a scam. Broken English, writing that sounds non-native English speaking, incorrect syntax, incorrectly conjugated verbs, or "stiffness" to the writing... all indicators of a scam. I've received a few from this site and others over the years that all have that same, uh, quality.
