The '97 advertised here looks like it is in GREAT shape. I was looking over '97's at the local Cabela's today (and they have a couple in 16 ga) and theirs are NO WHERE near in as good of condition as your is. Good price here too..
A good luck sales bump for you.

My state-issued concealed pistol license has no photograph and I never would have considered it ID.
Some states have a CCH license that is identical to a DL except at the top says concealed carry license, not drivers license. My state's DL and CCH are identical but for that wording at the top.
I can see why a non picture carry permit would not work for valid ID. I did not imagine a state would issue a carry permit without the holder's picture on it.

I have XL hands and the big old Ruger Bisleys with 5 1/2 barrels fit me perfectly. I shoot duelist and DD and they work great. They are balanced perfectly for my shooting with smokeless and BP. I tried a number of guns over the years and immediately zeroed in on the OMV Bisley in 45 Colt. Built stout and with the occasional cleaning always work great.
I had been shooting "regular" handled Rugers while shooting two handed and they felt fine but as soon as I switched to one handed, the Ruger Bisley was the better choice.
The Rugers are my normal gun but my Cimarron Open Top Armies in 44 Colt are a hoot to shoot and also fit my larger hand perfectly. Style over function yet they function like I need them too.
If you are patient and lucky you can find these for sale on GB in the $450 range.
And you're right when you say, "the CAS guys seems to spend more time smiling and less time scoring targets than the run and gun crowd." I would change that to..."smiling and BSing and heckling and joking around while encouraging the guy they are competing against and having an overall GREAT time. When costuming is as big a part of this game as the guns are for many people, how "stick-in-the-mud" serious can we take this? Fun Fun Fun is this game.
Welcome! Enjoy your time playing cowboy. I know I do.

I have read about situations where a state-issued concealed carry ID is not considered a valid form of state ID. At first I wondered how this could be and then I quickly ascertained the requiring party just simply the anti-gun in nature. TSA being one of the entities that will not accept it as ID.
But not being able to use your driver's license at the driver's license office showing it to the same office that issued you your driver's license to get another driver's license makes no sense to me.

Back around.
Be happy to work these into a trade for a Cimarron '66 Carbine in 44 Special.

I bought these beautiful shotgun chaps about five months ago from Michigan Rattler Leather and have only worn them in the house. I'd call the leather mid-weight as these chaps are soft and very comfortable. I just cannot make them work with the look/style I am trying to achieve. I really like the chaps, just do not have a place for them. So, on the classifieds they go.
The measurements are: Leg- 28.5". Overall length- 39.5". Upper width- 20" across. Waist measured with belt is 48.5" from buckle to belt end with 13 holes located at distances from 37.5" to 47". I am 6'1, 230 lbs and these fit me fine with plenty of room in and out. I am a 36/38 waist and wear these chaps in the 6th or 7th hole. One pocket.
$540.00 shipped to lower 48. I can bring them to Red Dirt Rampage if needed. Can provide more pics if requested.

I hear Major is gonna be shootin' cap and ball guns this match.
Any truth to this rumor?
Being that he's Major he'll probably be totin' Walkers or Dragoons.

How's the hotel construction coming along?

Deacon,
We are thinking alike. I hope to get the same answer.

Ditto on contacting Major. He did write a very complete article on this which takes all the guesswork out of loading brass 12 gauge BP ammo. I have seen him shoot nothing but brass 12 gauge ammo during a match and he does it very well. Durn smooth. He generously loaned me some of his ammo to try and even with just the four or six shots that I tried I was addicted. There is something very unique about 12 gauge BP brass ammo through a hammered double. It does feel different pulling it from your belt and loading it as opposed to regular 12 gauge ammo.
Blue Mesa is another shooter whom I have seen use nothing but brass shotgun ammo. I believe he has been doing this for quite some time and he is very very good with it.
Brass 12 gauge ammo certainly looks pretty darn cool in your shotgun belt; it grabs a lot of attention. Reloading it is just a little bit more time consuming but apparently well worth the effort.

Where have they gone
in SASS Wire
Posted · Edited by Dantankerous
I have no idee bout who nor what this fella was. But he sure looks like someone I'd cotton to. Tough and trustworthy, he looks. I'm already sorry he's gone. Someone please tell us more about this LL hombre.
I ain't been around long enough to have had the pleasure of knowing a lot of the folks who have passed on 'round these parts. I feel like I am missing a part of the SASS family.
Good folks aplenty here. Just not enough time to meet everyone in person.
