Joeronimo Caffiend 95 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) 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......

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 998 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dantankerous 4,701 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L 390 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
