  1. Plus 1 for the Louisville Show. Always meant to go, but just never got around to it. Now the drive and all the walking would about kill me. But have been told by attendees that it's one of the better shows in the South. YMMV It would bother me not to be able to buy/sell there not being a KY resident. So that sorta takes the rush to go away.
  2. Burn it and rebuild!!! The only good snake is a hatband!
  3. "Endeavor to Persevere."
  4. Was in Bellshire talking with Phil yesterday and saw the poster for next weekend. Considering going. Any comments from the gallery? Never been to one there. Should I? Thought about walking around a couple and see if I could move them.

    Remington R51

    Got one of the later models(Guess I should check the production date.). It came to me from my late brother-in-law just before he passed. Had it with a Springer EMP4. Wanted to sell as a package deal. Didn't really want the R51, but he need the money, so I bought them both. Put them both in the safe and haven't touched since. Really should take them out and test them. Not really concerned by the EMP4, but worry about the R51. After all the horror stories about them, I had pretty much decided it would be a safe queen forever. Now, seeing all these comments, I'm tempted to try. It just feels good, and it is a good looking pistol. Maybe I will. Or not.

    Carry History

    Yeah...it was sort of purty. In a weird way. LOL. Thay actually didn't look too bad.
  7. My dog won't even step on the treadmill. Just sits and whines at it if I (rarely anymore) get on it.
  8. Favorite to shoot...Model 19 Smith!

    Budget 1911

    Got a mid 70s(?) that shoots great. Don't think you'd go wrong with choosing one.
  10. AGREED! I like to take it out for new shooters. Especially the cocky ones. I'll load it up for them with 158 grain wadcutters and stand back. When they complain...I say let me try it. That's when I drop in the light 38 special and shoot. Turn back and say it seem ok to me.

    Carry History

    Short and not so sweet story. First one was a j-frame Smith from my Dad. Bought an HK4. Dumped it and bought a Browning BDA 380. Used it for years. Later tried many smaller semi autos that I didn't keep. Lorcins, Khars( sorry Bill!) Tried a 4'' K-frame for a while. But it was too big for me. Went back to Smith snubbies. Had 637 and the like for a time. Carried a Model 19 snub for a while. Found the Springfield Compact 9 and was in love! Carried it mostly until I discovered the Shield. Been there ever since. There have been some dalliances with G26/27, G43x, Hellcat, and a 365XL. Still have the Sig 365, but I always come back to the Shield. I think we're mated for life.
  12. I actually think it's a still from a late 40s early 50s movie. I have some vague remembrance of seeing this before.
  13. Make that B- Team and I'll agree with you!
  14. Yep. JD you lived up to my feedback post! Well done, Sir!
  15. Closed. Got mags I needed. Thanks to all for looking.
  16. About that time my wife asked me if I needed/wanted any more ammo. LOL! What a jackass I was. Said no...I'm ok with what we got.
  17. Ain't it the truth!!! C'mon admit it...you guys have all done it at one time or another!
  18. Well, three possibilities on mags so far. Waiting on replies from these gentlemen so we can get something started. Anyone local with mags to go?
  19. PM sent.
  20. AD Closed. Thanks for looking guys.
  21. Struggling with my old standard of OWB these days. As OldIron mentioned above, I too have a few extra inches. Been looking to get a Hank's Belt, just haven't gotten to it. Keep saying I'll drop a few inches and then do it. Guess I'll look into these as well. Have never been this large before and I am not liking it at all. For those who might want to know...a 44 waist these days. Blaahh!
  22. Nice start. lol. That Detective is a good looking one.
  23. Thanks guys. I was all set to grab this one...but I found something else!!! It starts with the numbers 4 and 5. I just HAD to buy it! lol.
  24. Guys, ran across this Ruger Charger 22 and got to wondering...can a brace or a stock be fitted to this? Just idle thoughts running thru my cobb-webbed mind. Also, were the Chargers done in a break-down model? Yes, I know I can look it up...but thought I'd give the residents here something to expound upon tonight. I know the 9mm version has this option, but the 22? Thanks.
  25. Watched the show way back then...but I have to say I can't remember the car in it. Wasn't particularly impressed with any of it but David McCallum. The only wone who interested me at all. Robert Vaugh was just horrible back then. As he was throughout his career.
