Joeronimo Caffiend Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've lured a bit around here for a few months and have decided to take the plunge today (did my on-line SASS application 30minutes ago) on my first post; all because of a little stop I make in the stagecoach from Nebraska to Tennessee; LO AND BEHOLD, I found all my .45 Colt needs fulfilled at one location! (Blessed be the 840 of Nashville!) The goodies...NOW WITH PICS: Uberti el Patron SS 4.75" Pietta Sheriff Ni 3.5" Taurus C45 Bl (Colt Lightning clone; stop laughing, I KNOW the reputation for the Thunderbolt) Zhong Zhou PW87 Bl (I'm glad I could make you laugh again) Box of Atomic 200gr RNFP Out-the-door damage to the wallet was under $2300; which is substantially less than I was expecting to pay for my first deep-dive (I stuck a toe in last year with a Henry 410 lever- I think of it as my cross-over "black gun") into the reel gun realm (I'm a recovering black gun user) where it reads that everyone is on the same page.

You mean the shotgun; it is one of the accoutrements used in the dark art of black gun magic to achieve supernatural accuracy. Like the ported XF choke in the smokey end......

Tequila Shooter Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 You may have a small issue with the shotgun. Shotgun Gauges - Side-by-side, single shot, and lever action shotguns must be centerfire of at least 20 gauge and no larger the 10 gauge. - Slide action shotguns must be centerfire of at least 16 gauge and no larger than 12 gauge. - Side-by-side, single shot, and lever action centerfire shotguns in .410 caliber and 28 or 32 gauge are allowed within the Buckaroo Category only.

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Welcome! We all had to start somewhere. Interesting choice of weaponry. Then again, I tend to run out of the norm as well; ran a pair of '75 Remingtons for a long time and still use my '92. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Plenty of people will be happy to talk cowboy guns around here. Come to the saloon and ask about coffee once in a while. Plenty of coffee drinkers and caffein connoisseurs around these parts. Myself being one. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Welcome, and you are in for a lot of praticing with that rifle shotgun combo until you get the hang of them. I shoot an '87 and it took me several years to get comfortable with it and every now and again I forget to run that lever hard out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the name is safe just the same. If it's not, add in something about a train conductor for all the trainwrecks you'll be presiding over due to your choice in guns.
