My three youngest started with youth model Henry 22's slicked up by Widder and Slater. They all started with SKBs in 12 gauge and Ruger .22 revolvers. The two boys both moved to Uberti 73's and Vaqueros in 38 special pretty quickly.

What factory shotgun shells have worked best for you?
Captain Bill Burt replied to Ol Salty Sailor's topic in SASS Wire
In order of preference: 1. Remington Gun Club 2. Remington STS 3. Winchester AA LRLN -
I would not choose a rifle with a barrel longer than 20 inches for our game. Currently we have four shooters in the family. Two are shooting 18 inch full octagon barrels and two are shooting 18 inch half round half octagon. All have 5th gen C&I short strokes and all of them are straight stocks, although the stock shape is related to preference more than a perceived competitive advantage. Gunsmiths are Lefty Wheeler, Reno Mustang and Fast Eddie.

I use Meta Ray Ban Wayfarer smart glasses. They’re a bit pricey and battery life needs to be longer but they’re easy to use, do a lot more than just take pictures/video, and they’re prescription.

Hmm. I’m going to remember you said that. Asked and answered. P and the offer of a reshoot sounds right to me. -
Congratulations Jace!

Magnificent Seven 2025: The Seven return
Captain Bill Burt replied to Captain Bill Burt's topic in SASS Wire
We're up to 64, 11 of whom haven't registered yet, but have given me verbal confirmation. Frontier Cartridge and Outlaw buckles have been ordered. Our newest competitors are Coosie and Witchy Woman! Come join the fun!! -
No. I’m asking if it’s unsafe to do it on purpose is it unsafe to do it accidentally? In other words should a penalty apply regardless of intent. Not proposing just asking.
-
Useful insights from the Gunfighters. So, would it make sense for it to be a penalty even if there is no intent to re-engage?
-
Ever heard of prop failure? Hopefully everyone is OK and things are going as planned.
-
It may not disadvantage a gunfighter relative to other gunfighters but it does place them at a disadvantage relative to other shooters as it can force them to shoot double duelist. Respectfully, it is different. A traditional shooter is allowed to holster a loaded pistol and later draw and fire it again without penalty regardless of intent. Intent in that situation is only relevant for gunfighters. Rarely would a non gunfighter wish to do that, but they could if they chose to. The fact that gunfighters aren’t penalized if the action isn’t intentional leads me to the conclusion that the rule isn’t about safety as when does intent impact other safety calls? Can a shooter avoid a penalty for a dropped gun, round left on the carrier, 170 violation, etc. by stating that they didn’t intend to do that? Obviously not, so allowing a gunfighter to unintentionally holster a loaded revolver without penalty tells me it isn’t a safety issue.

I'm with Linn and Pat, way to mixed of a heritage to start using hyphens. -
Because they don’t have to.

Ruger Wrangler question
Captain Bill Burt replied to Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409's topic in SASS Wire
I'm pretty sure the springs I put in our Wranglers were #17. I also polished the hammer strut, which was really rough. The loading gate springs are horrible, but don't affect shooting so I've left them alone. -
I’m truly sorry that you view life through a lense that clearly brings you a great deal of unhappiness. I hope things improve. Regretfully I will be placing you on my ignore list now as I find your posts directly conflict with why I frequent the Wire.
