I was checking out the Ruger sight and saw this bulletin. If you own an SR-22 you might want to open the link and get details. I don’t own one of these. Just thought I would post it.

I ‘83 my wife worked at an answering service in Santa Monica, Ca. Charles Bronson was a client of that answering service. She said that he was always polite and he would occasionally drop by the service to bring the ladies pastries and sweets. She said he was always a gentleman.

pair of OMV (yes, I know they were never called Old Model till the NMV ones came out)
bought in 2003 when I started the hobby/sport/obsession
It doesn’t help that the brain trust at Ruger now calls the New Vaquero “Vaquero” on their website.

Our Professional "Union" had the option to take time and a half or time and a half off with pay, without a limit!
I always opted off the time off and enjoyed hunting trips in the fall, far out of cell phone range.
When I left my job in LA at the end of 2004 I had over 2000 hours of Comp Time on the books. Rather than pay me they created a policy that booked comp time could not be paid out.

You’re on the exit. Take it. Trying to merge back onto the highway is a jerk move.

I prefer the original Vaqueros, but I have owned a few New Vaqueros. When I stopped Cowboy Action Shooting I used my original Vaquero and my New Vaquero.
The original Vaquero has SBH hammer, a 19# hammer spring and a 40 oz trigger spring.
EDIT: It’s a .45 Colt. I used Bear Creek Supply 205 grain RNFP bullets over 7.7 grains of Universal powder. That load runs about 900 FPS.

I figured out a long time ago that overtime in Florida, and probably everywhere else, meant that you're working for straight time with no deductions as the 1/2 is consumed by taxes, S. Security and Medicare.

I remember years ago when I worked at Hughes Aircraft I did a few hours of OT one week and I had a few dollars less that 40 straight on my check.
I was telling my coworkers that unless I could do 8 or more hours I wasn’t doing OT again.
Sone of the brainiac physicists told me “That is impossible! You don’t know what you’re talking about!”I explained that I did. Then I proved it.
THAT shut’em up. Morons with degrees. Where could we have been without them?!-

Communista Is an accepted English word, not in your average 5000 to 15000 word vocabulary, but it is in use and is in the unabridged dictionary.
— from Portuguese.
It took many entries of it to end up in my auto correct dictionary(?).
One problem with Apple’s word library is misspelled words end up there as well and can be a real nuisance.
Take the word “and”. Often I will type what I think is “and” but what I actually typed was “snd” and “snd” became an auto correct Go-To for my phone. It took a long time for that not to be the case.

Interesting pressure suits they’re wearing.
Cool story. Thanks Dave.
That is definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

Auto communista
Wanna hear something funny? I type “auto communista” as one word and my auto correct separated it into two words and “communista” pops up as a follow up to “auto” as I am typing it.

What did you shoot salt for? They're mostly harmless and other than being hard on your blood pressure ( like my kids were) they can be pleasing to be around.
Bud K is it.
I bought a manriki because it is easier than making one. I got to be pretty proficient with one I made when I was on Okinawa in 1966, but that one vanished in one of our many moves.
Not proficient any more and I nearly killed myself trying some of mover from yesteryear.
Manriki, huh? What could go wrong?
When I was in the Navy I was a student of Shorin Ryu karate. One of the guys I became friends with had a Manriki. He had no idea how to use it. He wanted my help practicing and I adamantly declined. I told him that I am pretty sure these were designed by women. They will get you in the nuts. It’s only a matter of time.
I learned this lesson through the practice and use of Nunchucks as a teenager. I got really good with them, but I can’t tell you how many times I clocked myself or hit myself in the nuts. I literally knocked myself out once.
Weapons on strings, ropes or chains are like snakes. Just when you think you’ve got it trained it bites or chokes you. Luckily snakes don’t clobber you as well.

No, I had been involved in legal disputes with that agency representing that agency. They were and are corrupt. The stress and hassle just wouldn’t be worth it.
Me, like an idiot, went back there in 2018 - 2022. They’re even worse now.
The really sad thing is all the hard work me and others put in there was tossed aside. That organization has regressed 30 years.
It’s a huge nest of entrenched stupid vipers.
