You are a CAS IF:

[Gungadin]

You pull your double action semiautomatic pistol and....thumb the hammer...but don't take off the safety.

 

BTW the hammer isn't easily thumb-able.

 

Houston we have a problem.

[Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971]

You shoot a modern, action handgun match with a revolver.  You load six rounds but reload after firing five.  (Yes, I've done it.)

[Pb Mark]

You load one, skip one, then load four in your SAA carry gun, stick it in the IWB holster and head into town without thinking twice about it.

Nope, personally don't carry that but just seems like I gotta carry a revolver instead of a plastic fantastic and thumb the hammer when practicing. 

[John Barleycorn, SASS #76982]

If you have more cowboy clothes than regular clothes, and 90% of your t shirts are from shoots you attended. 

[Kirk James]

You can remember the stories with the appropriate lines.

[Tennessee williams]

  You almost draw your carry gun at the grocery store because the cashier swiped yer item over the scanner and it beeped. 

 

In my defense, I was standing at SASS default already.

[watab kid]

if you put your thumb up to cock your semi-auto and get that dreaded "cut" -----they heal slow , i know - dont ask ..................

[Major Crimes]

The room is silent, and your wife is staring at you...................... 

 

Your first thought is, damn I can't remember the line 

[watab kid]

can we ever remember the line ? i dont and its usually posted right there in front of me , adlib generally works tho , better if its funny 

[Pb Mark]

Maybe not a long-term salty SASS member yet, but after first responding, then thinking about this thread.... went downstairs, tore my SP101 apart and bobbed the hammer.  No more thumb cocking the cch for me anymore!

 

As a "pretty much new" CAS shooter, you know you are a CAS shooter when your wife creates a new financial spreadsheet for the CAS related "stuff" that keeps showing up on the credit card statements.  

[Gungadin]

Wife asked if I was ready to go. 

 

I put my hands on my hat and said 'I'm your huckleberry'

[Caladisi kid]

Your doodles on paper all become new stage sets and you dream of different target sequences!   ( quilty )

When I TO if someone asks me what's the line, I make up something funny or silly. I change it for every person even on the same stage.

 

It's now becoming a game and people deliberately ask me "what's the line" just to see how silly I can get.

[Hoss]

When you place your order at Chick Fil A and they ask your name and you tell them “HOSS”

[Blackwater 53393]

When half the people you know call you by your alias but your shooting/traveling companions are the ones who call you by your real name ‘cause they are used to being in public with you all the time!!

When your practicing on your range at home and you accidentally drop a loaded pistol and just about have a heart attack cause you know it’s a match DQ, then realize YOUR AT HOME!

When all your friends and family call you buy your alias . ( Rooster )

 And your Wife starts decorating the house with Rooster 

wall hangings , hand towels &  knick knacks.

When you hear gunfire and automatically start counting rounds fired.

[Lever Action Landon]

When you drop food on the floor at home and yell "Brass Picker" and the dog comes running. My dogs name is Harley. 

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

When you hear somebody has a birthday and you wonder if they are moving up in category.

[Hashknife Cowboy]

You find a cowboy gun at the LGS and ask if they have two......

Years ago, when they were still in production, I wanted a USFA 7 1/2 inch Pre War SAA. I ordered one from my LGS. When it arrived it had a companion with the next SN! So now I have two USFA 7 1/2 inch Pre War SAA's.

My wife gets mad at me if I go to the gunshow and DON'T buy anything. I joined sass so she joined too. Her or my daughter either one have shot a match. They're Tennessee Whiskey and Rowdy Riley. Wife figures since I'm a life member SASS will go broke if they don't renew. Sure she has her faults like making me buy guns, cooking spaghetti, chopping firewood, and cutting the grass, but I love her anyway.

This is an ad from USFA depicting two different barrel lengths. In the bottom LH corner the ad lists 7-1/2, 5-1/2 and 4-3/4 barrels.

 

Mine are both 7-1/2 inch.

[watab kid]

ahh that explains it , i had thought that was what i was reading into your post , i did expect them to have been available in all three , and i rather like all three , i do have a 71/2 as well as the 51/2 and 43/4 in my assortment/accumulations ive just never shot my 71/2 for CAS .....just fondled for what thats worth , very nice revolvers 

[Go West]

You watch a Western and count shots and look for penalties.

[Blackwater 53393]

You watch the cowboy in the movie take his rifle off his shoulder to lever it and tell everyone in the room that he’s doing it wrong and you wonder aloud why why they all lever out the live round that they already had in the chamber every time they see the bad guy!

[Old DeadEye Dakota]

When you go to the grocery store and look at the prices of items - you are really thinking to yourself - how many primers could I buy for the same amount.
