Yet again. At the other end of the state.

The simple fact is that the vast majority of money in this world doesn't actually physically exist. Its nothing more than 1s & 0s in a computer somewhere. Think about that for a minute. One major computer crash could wipe out millions. My pension and SS are direct deposit. I wasn't given a choice. That's the only way I could get it. They quit mailing out monthly checks a long time ago. I don't make automatic payments for anything either. I'm old fashioned, I write and mail out checks to pay my bills each month. Crazy? Behind the times? Maybe. But nobody has access to my bank account but me and the bank itself. I prefer it that way. I have one credit card which is used primarily for internet purchases. I pay off the balance at the end of each month. I also pay cash for my purchases whenever possible. I stay in complete control of my money as much as is possible these days.

These are outstanding revolvers. I have 3 of the "SIX" series guns. Thankfully, you're too far away or might have 4.

I was 10 years old when The Man From U.N.C.L.E. premiered. Good show. I was a loyal watcher. But I really thought David McCallum shined as Ducky. A brilliant, yet slightly quirky and good natured scientist. The occasional episode where he was the main character were some of the best episodes. He will be missed.

I can see that as most of the district is deep blue north Memphis. But once you hit the Bartlett city limit, it changes to bright red. Why would they wanna punish us?

I have a nice house in a nice town that just happens to be next door to Memphis. I like it here! Now they're bringing their crap to me.

I was checking my State Representatives and just now discovered that, as of last November, I'm now in a completely different State House district. Where I was in District 97, I'm now in District 88. They moved the line less than 1/2 a mile and this is what happened. What's more, my State Representative is a Democrat! The new district starts in downtown Memphis, runs north through Frayser, east through Raleigh and eventually drops south into Bartlett where it just does include my house. I mean I can almost throw a rock into my old district from my house. 3 Blocks! They moved the line 3 blocks! Who the Hell designed this thing? It wanders all over the place. Not only is my Rep a Democrat, but the way this thing is laid out, the vast majority of the district is too. No way this guy is going anywhere. I guess I shoulda paid better attention when they redrew the districts last year. Not that it woulda done any good. I didn't have any say in it. Funny thing is, the guy I've been e-mailing and griping so hard at for the last year ain't even my Rep anymore. Oh well, he had it coming. I guess now I need to introduce myself to the new guy.

Wonderful pistol. Don't sell it. You will regret it badly.

Harris is an idiot. She's only the VP because Joe needed a black woman to round out his liberal ticket. Sadly, she's the best he could get. For the most part, she's kept in the background. When she does surface, she only embarrasses herself and the Dems. So go ahead and put her in charge of this gun violence office. She'll just screw it up like everything else she touches. BTW: rumor is that Joe is looking for a new running mate for 2024.

Over the years I have seen, observed and reasoned to the conclusion the Conservatives and the United States are we remember it are doomed. Conservatives, for the most part, simply want to live our lives as we see fit and be left alone to do so. Just leave us in peace to do our own thing without interference. Liberals, OTOH, are so absolutely convinced that their way is not just the right way, but the only way to the point that they feel a need, a mandate, an obligation, to convert everyone else to their viewpoint even if they have to use force. An if you won't convert, they'd rather you be dead than oppose them. They work together, not under any organized conspiracy, but simply because they all have the same goals. Like minds supporting each other in every aspect of our society. Then there is our public school system which has been run by liberals for at least the last 30 years or more. The dumbing down of America, revisionist history, condemning moral values and simply failing our children. They don't teach our children how to think, they tell them what to think. Basically, if you're under the age of 40 and a liberal, congratulations! You're exactly what the system intended you to be. A poorly educated, brainwashed drone willfully and blindly following the program. And therein lies the rub. Every year more and more of these drones reach voting age. Before long, us old school Americans are gonna be vastly outnumbered and forced to watch our beloved nation be destroyed from within. And there ain't a damned thing we can do to stop it.

Looks like an interesting project. Personally, I'm more than happy with my SA-35 as is. I went to Apex's site and looked these parts up. I noticed that the mag well requires the use of Apex's 17 & 19 round magazines and that you either need to use their grips or you'll have to cut your's to fit. I don't think I care for that. But I'm still interested to see how your gun turns out.

A brand new federal office with no budget and congress is already making noises about not giving it one. Odds are these idiots will do more damage to themselves than us.

What's the brand name of these tablets? Winter is coming and I often have a problem with rats looking for warm places to live.

I always wanted to have an Anaconda in .45 Colt. But they're very scarce and crazy expensive. If Colt would make their new Anaconda in .45 Colt with a 4" barrel, I'd be all over that!

Looks like fun!

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!

Having spent my life fixing things, I understand that machines do break down. Stuff happens. Glad you got it fixed.

Surveys and studies are easy to rig. Limit the number of responses, target the people allowed to respond and carefully word the questions. The classic example is "Do you still beat your wife?" with only a yes or no answer choice. The vast majority of studies are focused on finding proof of a forgone conclusion. They already know the answer they want, but need statistics and data to back it up. An open study without a predetermined answer is a rare thing indeed. If you doubt the validity of a survey or study, follow the money. See who paid to have it done.

Life has no value to people like this. And there are a lot more of them out there than most of us care to admit.

Private sales? Oh, you mean the gunshow loophole we've been hearing about for years. They've been after that for a long time. The goal is to end all sales. Public and private. As for that 1000% tax thing, that's an old Washington trick. Ask for the impossible and then compromise for something less, but equally as bad.

No way I'd go cutting up a WC pistol. I like Dave's idea of just buying another one.

Outstanding find! I love the .44 Special cartridge and have several guns in that caliber. Including one like your's.

Let 'em fuss and cuss out in the streets. It just makes them look bad. If they actually try to riot, I hope MNPD and State Troopers are ready for them. This ain't up north. Let's hope they learn that the hard way. I believe Red Flag is pretty much dead. The current talk seems to focus on help for the mentally ill and strengthening background checks. That could be either good or bad. Depends on just what they pass.

The same as with politicians everywhere. All they care about is money and power. They don't give a about the people. The only real difference in Shelby county is that they're so arrogant that they don't try to hide it.

Fixed it for ya.
