  1. That sounds about right. Out of curiosity what are the trigger pulls?
  2. Different shooters will have different needs. I run Jimmy Spurs NMVs. The springs are very light, probably in the 14 lb range. They work for me. Iron Cowboy OTH doesn't like his that light, he says he out runs the springs (I believe him). I took out the springs that came with his NMVs (the gunsmith had cut them so short we were getting occasional failure to fire) and replaced them with 19 lb springs, which are just right, for him.
  3. On the other end of the spectrum I'm fond of my Ponsness Warren 800+. I flip a switch, insert a wad, repeat.
  4. I’m glad to see Shootin Sharyn and I are on the Shooter’s list!
  5. I’m looking for a stainless steel grip frame for an original model Vaquero or Single Six (the longer frame).
  6. I've been following this thread with interest. I am not an 'anti-vaxxer' by any means, but I'm suspicious when it comes to the Covid vaccinations. I've read quite a bit about the corner cutting that occurred during the development of these vaccines and I'm aware of the anecdotal reports of blood clotting issues. Given I don't have any of the major risk factors for serious outcomes I've chosen to forgo any additional shots beyond the first two I got (which I had to get in order to keep my job). As I understand it, major risk factors for negative outcomes are: kidney injury, COPD, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, increased d-dimer (something to do with blood coagulation) male, advanced age, smoker, and obesity. Other than male and age, none of those apply to me. If some of them did, I would probably rethink my position on the Covid vaccinations. Given they don't, I've been vaccinated twice and I've had Covid at least twice I've concluded that I should have some resistance built up and I'm not in a high risk category to begin with. For those of you who do have multiple risk factors the vaccine may be a good idea. You also might consider eliminating the risk factors that are controllable and that you currently have. Treat your hypertension. Stop smoking. Lose weight. The literature doesn't say this, but I suspect that improving overall cardiovascular fitness would help as well. It's just my opinion, but those actions will likely do a lot more for you than masking and isolation will.
  7. It's been my experience that when you try to get a single solution to two different requirements you end up with something that isn't satisfactory for either. As Joe mentioned you will get better results with purpose built ammo. Perhaps Unique for hunting and Titewad (what I use) for target.
  8. Hot dogs need mustard and onions, just like hamburgers. FRIES need ketchup. They’re the only thing ketchup is good with! And of course you break spaghetti!
  9. @Subdeacon Joe I support your right to argue whatever position you choose. I support your right to believe whatever you choose. Unfortunately the EV crowd has moved from debate to force. They’re no longer willing to simply argue their position in the marketplace of ideas, they’re working hard to take choice off the table and achieve their ends by forced compliance. That makes this debate less about EVs vs ICE and more about knuckling under to pressure or standing up for liberty. I’m on the side of liberty, but to be clear, even if that wasn’t what was at stake, it’s clear to me that EVs aren’t ready for prime time and likely never will be. PHEV’s OTH have real potential, possessing most of the advantages of pure EVs with far fewer of the disadvantages.
  10. Respectfully. I participate in the Camaro sixth gen forum. Surprisingly there are a fair number of EV fanboys over there. They sound just like you. EV’s are a fire hazard. Resale value is suspect. Battery replacement is very expensive. Installing in home charging is expensive. Charging stations are not plentiful and many current ones are often broken. Charging is slow. Ranges are inadequate and almost always far overstated. The grid is not ready for large scale EV adoption. EVs are not green in production and often not in use depending upon the source of electricity. They don’t work well in the cold. They don’t work well in the heat. They’re very heavy, damaging roads and resulting in much more pollution from tire degradation. The government is trying to force us to use them. Subjective, but to me they’re boring disposable appliances. People who do road trips with lots of gear (many cowboys) see their travel time increase exponentially. If they were great, they wouldn’t need subsidies. We wouldn’t see the government deliberately increasing the cost of ICE vehicles. We wouldn’t see ICE bans. If EVs were great they would survive on their own, like ICE vehicles did when they replaced horses. They don’t because they’re a product of woke thinking in conjunction with a corrupt nanny state. EVs are inferior technology with extremely limited usefulness forced on us by idiots.
  11. I’m thinking this will be my first time there. I’ve heard a lot of good things!!
  12. That sounds nice!! I rarely drive anymore. Pretty much only Cowboy matches on Saturday, Sharyn’s SUV, or recreational in the Camaro.
  13. My next sports car will be a new Z06 vette, red of course. But first I owe Lethal Lizzie her first car then Kid Flash his. So my next car is about four years away.
  14. The only action videos I have are Cowboy action. But I do have pics of the car.
  15. I'll stick with my 455 horsepower, 6.2 liter 6 speed manual. Red like a sports car ought to be with honkin big tires. 5 years of ownership and I still smile every time I crank it up and hear those burbles and pops. It's not fuel efficient. It's not quiet. It's not PC, and I love it.
  16. I’ve already had it twice, at least. For me it wasn’t that bad. Two weeks ago I was in the ICU with Flu A and viral pneumonia, negative for Covid. That was the sickest I’ve ever been. COVID was a walk in the park compared to that. I’m not going to live in fear and I’m not going to give up my freedoms because others are afraid. If I get it again, I’ll beat it again.
