    Parked in the parking lot, walked into the range.  Another place in time, for a while I used a 2 long gun case with a shoulder strap and a shoulder bag for ammo.  Revolvers holstered, unloaded.  A different era. More fun, at least for me.

    Ya still can!  Heck; take a buckboard from home to the match! 😉

  2. Tread warily.  They may have cleaned up their act since C-19, when, in desperation I purchased some, but in addition to being generally harder to ignite than any primers I have ever used, they not only did not always ignite, but their brisance was the lowest I have ever seen, and they would not always ignite the powder charge completely in standard load pistol cartridges.  

     

    I  used up the last batch in rifle only, where they had greater burn time, and the bullets would generally exit the barrel.  But not always.  Like nothing I've ever seen before.

     

    Good luck,

  3. I still can't get my head and heart around this. All of my interactions with Phil were of the highest order; a good guy, an arch competitor, and a credit to our sport. My condolences to his family and friends, and to our entire community.

     

    Damn.

     

    Miss you, amigo.

      ..... for them California roads, ...... right?  🙃

    Sadly; YES!  The roads in California - possessor of the FIFTH largest economy on earth, if the governor is to be believed - are among the worst is the US.  They are unbelievably bad.  I keep the Scrambler for the 210 freeway, and trips into Hollywood. 

     

    Sadly true,

  5. Not quite in the window mentioned, but too good not to post.  The Last Stand, in Florida; circa 2003... Lefty Longridge, Lusty Lil, Lead Dispencer, and FJT...
