  1. Brazing would be stronger. 😉
  2. I always used 3.5 (Three point five) grains of RedDot in my .38's with either a 105 or 125 grain bullet, I used a heavy crimp and had no problems.
  3. No, it was his dog, he had an interesting sense of humor from what I've been told. He passed away before I was born.
  4. Me and my Bonneville
  5. My Grandfathers Henderson, sorry it's sideways.
  6. I am sad to report that Catskill Bob passed away on Aug 30,2022. lifetime member of SASS He participated in many SASS competitive events across the nation. Bob had a wonderful sense of humor that showed up wherever he went. Here is a link to his Obit. https://hagan-chamberlain.com/tribute/details/896/Robert-Glywa/obituary.html
  7. Hi Joe, Rooster was way off on the grips, Ruger never used the red eagle in the single actions as Alexander Sturm died before they were produced which is when Bill Ruger switched to the black eagle.As for the grips on the gun they are factory, also known as squashed chickens if memory serves me. But there are some folks you can't reason with. Ruger has used a bunch of different types of eagles on their single actions including one around 1967-68 that had neck feathers. It took me a while to figure out the differences over the years but that just adds to my knowledge and enjoyment of the subject.Oh, and I didn't buy the gun, a friend of mine that is on another forum did,I was just the middle man that got the information to the buyer and seller .

    Respectfully

      Thanks - I knew that Sturm died in 1951 but I didn't want to walk all over Kevin's (Howlin) post.  Some folks think their experience counts as the only truth.

  8. It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of SanFernando Slim SASS #20521L, on Monday February 8 2021 due to complications from pneumonia. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. The family will be having a memorial service later in the year when family and friends can attend.

  12. It is with great sorrow that I have to report on the passing of the Calico Kid,He passed on Monday Morning.He was one of the Town Council of the Boot Hill Regulators in Monroe NY.He was small in stature but had a heart as big as the outdoors.Vaya con Dios Calico.

  22. I met Alicia Goranson,who played the oldest daughter on Roseanne back in the mid 80's when shes was going to Vassar College.Her car was making funny noises and she stopped at my shop to ask if we could look at it.She came by a second time after she had filled her gas tank up and didn't 2 blocks from the gas station before it died.She was a very sweet unassuming girl.I also met Frank Serpico when he was re-qualifying for his carry permit.Those are the only two I remember.
  23. Slim,I'm not sure,but it would probably be CATatonic and need a CATscan.
