Actually, I prefer clams on a red pie pizza.

Did you ever buy your .45 revolver? I'm thinking a .45 ACP revolver might round out the wee
collection nicely.

The S&W Judge is on my list.


You seein' a bunch of rattlers up there? I think you meant the Taurus Judge, or the S&W Governor.
I kinda like that S&W 625 JM, (http://tinyurl.com/88czrkp ) but wish it were more the 'western'
style. Oh well, I can live without a .45 revolver for a while. It'll take a couple years to earn
enough VISA reward points to get it anyway.



Ruger makes some large caliber revolvers that are "western" looking.
Fine firearms.


The ones I've seen in the .45 ACP caliber are single action only, unless I missed something.

I like my Blackhawk, with the interchangable cylinders in 43 ACP and 45 Long Colt. Best of both worlds. Have to admit it usually gets fired in 45 LC. The custom-built 1911 with adjustable trigger and match barrel gets most of the ACP ammo.

That, of course, would be *45* ACP. 43 would rattle around a bit. :-)

Thanks. I didn't want to 'question' it, but that's what I thought.
Doesn't the LC cost a bit more
than the ACP? And, is it as available? I've never seen any at WalMart,
for example, but I've found
the ACP there several times.


The advantage of any particular caliaber is gone when there is no ammo
available. Stick with
the basics, 9mm Luger/9x19, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223/5.56 and .30-06.


Probably more .308 now than .30-06. Nicer round for semi auto rifles,
shorter action required. Actually for a bolt action would also be better
because of case length.


"Wal Mart always seems to have .223 and 30-06. I don't see .308 there very often, and I've seen
30-30 only once in the past many months. I bought a box. Now I can see if the Model 94 will shoot.
It was a gift from my next door neighbor, but I've never fired it.

I'm thinking of giving it to my grandson when he makes Eagle Scout.

It's not as common, but is available. Reloading does the trick.




I've not gotten into that. Have to get over the electric RC planes first. Haven't gotten one of them

either, but I'm spending a lot of time looking. I like this one:

But it's pretty big. I'd like to be able to fly it at the local elementary school. The playground

there's not very big.


The wingspan is fairly large (59"), but it will fly pretty slow and land probably at a fast walk to a trot. If you pull the trigger (ha!) on this, get an extra battery so you can charge one while flying the other, or you be waiting a while between flights.
