Better pic of the pistols than that IMDb shot.

Appears that one is a Walker, (top), and one is a Dragoon, (bottom). Actually, the top pistol looks like a Dragoon with a Walker gripframe on it.
Compare the two with this pic from a Guns Magazine article:

No, but Stenbridge Arms was pretty adept at making dummy guns that would. A close up would show you that they weren't real, but a quick look would pass.
Almost every time a character throws a gun, or hit someone on the head, it's a rubber gun.

I watched about half of one episode. Too much Louis L'Amour I suppose. There were so few decent women in the west that you treated them nice and you spoke to them politely.
So anyway, the partial episode of Deadwood that I watched the guy seem to be unable to speak to anybody, including women, without F this and S that.
In a normal Western I would agree with you. But from what I remember, people more informed about the real Deadwood than I, said that Al Swearengen was VERY much like that. He was a mean, rude, violent man. Though it didn't show it in the show, he was married in real life. And if he were alive today doing what he did back then, the cops would be at his place for domestic violence calls several times a week. He didn't treat the women that worked for him any better, either. They were so much merchandise to him.

Conceivable that he was shot after death or that the gun shot was not fatal (hey, it happens).
Yeah, but the Coroner should be able to figure that out. That's his job!

I think that it would depend on how your policy is written. Something that is part of the car, (radio, for instance) would be covered if stolen. But a toolbox would not unless it was a specific item on the policy. Just because it was in the car and damaged by the accident might not matter.

I've watched 3 episodes and I'm sorry but I'm not impressed. Too many snide remarks back and forth from him and his daughter. It's really kinda boring to me! Maybe it'll get better but I think Tim is handcuffed by ABC. When Last man standing went to Fox it was great!
I agree somewhat. To be fair though, the first season and about half the second of "Last Man Standing" weren't as great as later seasons. I think that it needs a little time to get it's footing and find it's voice.
You'd think that ABC would have learned from "Last Man Standing" NOT to screw with a good thing.

Those of you that were fans of Tim Allen on "Last Man Standing" will certainly remember that in the final episode, his 1956 F100 was stolen. On Tim's new show, "Shifting Gears", the truck makes an appearance.
In "Shifting Gears", he runs a mechanic shop that specialises in restomodding classic vehicles. He tells his guys that the truck was stolen from a guy in Denver, made its way to them, and since he knows the guy, he's getting it back to him.

If I had to have some point, it might be, in a diner SOS will cost you $20. In a restaurant Hearty Cream of Beef Soup on Jumbo Croutons is $45.
If you enlist in The Marines, they'll pay you to eat it.

I think that WE get it. It's the sheeple that get their "news" in 30 second sound bites that don't.

I don't know why, but I had expected an acapella rendition.
I like how she made it "the people's moment" with her 'Help me out here" line. Americans helping Americans. Beautiful.3 minutes ago, watab kid said:i actually was expecting it as well , but as it worked out it was even better than i expected - she is a great performer
You could tell that she was waiting for music to start. But when it didn't, she just picked it up and ran with it.

Did you miss the thread about the Winter storm? Or were you laughing about it 'cause you thought it wouldn't get you?
BTW, it's in the 60s here in Arizona.

Bees around here have a barb on their stinger. They stab you and when they pull back the stinger stays in you and it pulls their guts out. They have one sting and then they die. Wasps can sting you multiple times, and yellow jackets can sting you multiple times, but not bees. With them it is one and done.
Right, those are honeybee's.

Maybe y'all got a different critter out where you live that you call bumblebees.
Around here they live in a hive, up off the ground. You're not going to hit them with a hay baler or whatever it is you shred a pasture with.
Yellow jackets - oh yeah. Bumblebees?
Yellowjacket, a type of wasp. Bumblebee.
These aren't exactly to scale, the bumblebee is smaller than the yellowjacket

Be you and let others be themselves. Just be courteous and life will go smoothly.
That's got to be the smartest thing you've ever posted here. (You tell anybody I said that and I'll deny it). And if everybody would do so, the world would be a much better place. Unfortunately too many don't people do that. They either want to tell others what to think, do, and say, or they simply look for a reason to be offended so that they have something to complain about.

I doubt it. I heard most of those from my misspent youth, long before Vance's time.

Those were Brass plated 94’s ? Maybe that’s why I thought they looked like modern Henry’s !! 😂
They might well have been. When they cycled the actions, the mechanism looked like 94s. But if Henry uses a similar action they could have been Henrys. I just looked at Henry's website, and I don't think they were Henrys.
In the movie the loading gate was easily visible, but I can't say that I could see the side ejection port that Henrys have.
What ever they were, they should have been Sharps Carbines.

Another article on this: The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the newly-introduced Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA) by U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) “is a timely proposal that deserves passage.” https://www.ammoland.com/2025/01/my-gun-my-choice-second-amendment-guarantee-act-deserves-passage/
And more good news: GOP Senators Introduce Bill Prohibiting Gov’t. Contracts with Anti-2A Groups.

We just finished watching it. It was okay, costuming was good, gun leather was good, most of the guns were good. A couple characters were carrying S&W revolvers. The worst though was U.S. Cavalry using brass plated Winchester 94s.

Diverse people working together for a common goal. THAT'S the key.
2 hours ago, watab kid said:ok , i buy that premise long as its not getting crammed down my throat at the exclusion of one group
I liken it to the Bridge Crew of Kirk's Enterprise: They were all simply the best at what they were doing, and their diverse backgrounds had nothing to do with it.
I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again: As a young Marine I learned that if a man can and will do what needs to be done, his race, religion, national origin or sexual orientation don't matter. If he can't or won't do what needs to be done, his race, religion, national origin or sexual orientation don't matter.

Better than that...
(The Center Square) – Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which President-elect Donald Trump has said he will sign.
U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both Republicans from Texas, Thom Tillis, R-NC, and Chuck Grassley, R-IA, filed the bill in the U.S. Senate, joined by 40 cosponsors. U.S. Reps Richard Hudson, R-NC, and Nathaniel Moran, R-TX, filed the companion bill in the House, which has more than 120 cosponsors.
