DOH! Thanks! (I need all the help I can get!) I went back and edited it also.

Most of the New Model Blackhawks were built using the .44 Magnum-sized frame. That, coupled with the tall, ramp-style front sight, makes it incompatible with holsters built for New Vaqueros, which were built on the frame of the early .357 3-screw Blackhawks. There are many excellent leather makers. One I like is Lar Fitzgerald (Michgan Rattler Leather). He can custom build you any type of holster to meet your needs. Turnaround time is excellent, and he's a SASS -shooter.

Taylor's Firearms, parts dep't. Buy two and order the Trigger/Bolt springs while you're at it. There's never a convenient time for them to break.

The Single Action Shooting Society is the umbrella organization with several disciplines. You will find different rulebooks (Handbooks) for Cowboy Action Shooting, Wild Bunch Action Shooting, and Cowboy Clays. There are separate Forums for CAS and WBAS because the rules in many cases are different. The handguns are different, the round counts are different, the pistol load parameters are different. If you post a question on the Wire Bunch Forum, it will be answered. There are a lot of experienced, helpful shooters there. Sign up! There is a lot of helpful information already posted there.

Colonoscopy Tomorrow
Eliphalet R. Moderator replied to Abilene Slim SASS 81783's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Lost the pard who used to ride with me to matches, to colon cancer. He didn't want to get tested. -
If I was making the call, I would not use the words "more or less". It either broke the 170 or it did not. Don't equivocate. I would commit myself to a position, or not make the call.

What are current issued SASS numbers up to?
Eliphalet R. Moderator replied to Chief Rick's topic in SASS Wire
This is true. We have had guests for years who join and ask me to change their Wire name to their brand new alias and number. On the other side we have long time SASS members who come to the Wire much later in life. -
SASS members are not the only people who read the Wire. Members of various agencies do also. SASS recommends that all firearm transfers are done in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws. We'd rather see you at a match and not the graybar hotel.

Maine has a Three Day Waiting Period
Eliphalet R. Moderator replied to H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619's topic in SASS Wire
Way back when the Walmarts in my area carried guns... (they haven't in decades). I bought a Marlin .22 semi. They did the "walk me to the exit and hand me the box" thing also. No problem. -

Not Receiving Notifications via e-mail
Eliphalet R. Moderator replied to Sea Goat's topic in SASS Wire F.A.Q.
Just a question. Do you have a higher-end security software, like mine, that filters spam from your e-mail? I had to teach it what items I still wanted to see. -

A reminder, go back through your old posts, it's easier to find them using a Google search. I'm finding where folks put their names, addresses, and phone numbers in posts, years ago. You may not remember something from 6-8 years ago... But, the internet never forgets.

Not Receiving Notifications via e-mail
Eliphalet R. Moderator replied to Sea Goat's topic in SASS Wire F.A.Q.
If your settings are correct, than all I can do is notify the office, and they'll send it up the line. We are do for a software upgrade, that may fix some of the bugs. -

From the first page of the RO I student course: "Students should prepare a brief introduction of themselves- include Name, Alias, SASS Number."

There are two-different types of 2-Factor ID log-ins. One is used by banks, brokerages, online pharmacies, etc. Where you log in and then they send you a message by phone or e-mail. whichever you chose, and you reply to that message. The other is used by Facebook, G-Mail, Paypal and Amazon. Where if you are logging in from a location or a device other than your usual one, only then do they require the 2nd-step of the log in. So, if you are looking at FB from the same location and device, you'd never know it was 2 Factor. I would bet that this is the type the Wire is going to go to. Log-in with the 2 step process once, and you'll not have to do it again from that device and location. But others will not be able to get into your account without you knowing. In the meantime, your e-mail addresses are hidden by default. But, many of you have added your email address again to your public profile. Don't do that!! We will continue to delete, without notice, private phone numbers and email addresses that folks STILL add in their posts, when we see them. Eli
