It is possible I guess. I did not even know it came out for the first
10-15 years I had it. It was stuck in there pretty good. I always
picked the empties out with my fingernail.
The reality was, I did not shoot it much anyway. That is the gun the
DC cops had over a weekend tho and they gave it back to me on Monday.
(I had it in my car) It was certainly a different time.

The only way I ever shot it was SA because the cylinder lock up sucked
in DA. It shaved big chunks off the bullet. For the last 35 years it
is just a curiosity.
...

Understood about the curio. I have a 74/81 German Mauser rifle chambered
in black powder 11mm. Pre ww1. it took a big honker of a cartridge.
Ballistics comparable to a 45/70 govt.
Shells are super rare and not worth the $20.00 ea. asking price.
People say "why don't you shoot it?" My reply is "why don't I hang it
over my fire place and say Davy Crockett used it at the Alamo?" "I've got
too much good stuff to not mess with it..."
Pretty well ends the conversation.


I have thought of getting a flintlock rifle, and would really like a double
barrel flintlock pistol to hang over the family room back bar. Not yet
ready to pony up a couple thousand for artwork.


As a lark, I was bidding on a pretty interesting old but new
revolver...lost that one, but now I'm bidding on another, a Korth Combat
in .357 Magnum. Dunno what I would do with it if I won...hang it over
the microwave?

Hang it over that WalMart printer!

Say what....."My get rusty"?
You have to lay off the booze for the family's sake.

Booze? You are the one who brags and complains about you booze and lack of
it.

Do you think your behavior here makes you a *real* Christian? You call names with virtually every
post. Does that qualify as 'Christian behavior' in your book?
