Many of us had parents or grandparents who used horses, kerosene lamps, an outhouse and had friends and family who died in childhood. Childbirth was life threatening for mother and child, simple infections killed or crippled, and little medical things would plague you for life. I got those...

Welcome back, dying's overrated.

You got a nice looking gun with all the goodies at a great price. The .36 Navy is my favorite to shoot, enjoy yours.

Thanks kelljp for posting this. He's a gentleman of the old school, I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago when I dropped off the barrel of my 1847 Harpers Ferry M42. His machine shop was a tinker's wonder, looking and smelling of machine oil just as one would 100 years ago. After...

Good luck with your medical problems. Hope you drop by again after you get straightened out.

Any pictures of the other side?

Everybody knows the world went to Hell in 2020.

What's the production date?

I carry that same "Mouse" when circumstances dictate :thumb:. Watched a YOUTUBE of a drug hopped up perp absorbing numerous close range center of mass hits from .40 S&W rounds with no effect until he got tired of being shot. Brain/spine hit is the only sure shot to disable or kill in a hurry. YMMV

Nice looking pistol, I don't know they offered one without a roll engraved cylinder. Somebody buy it and shoot it like it deserves.

That is indeed a sweet rifle Mr. Foley. May I ask why the Prichett style bullet is knurled? Watching Brett's videos are among my favorite late night pastimes.. His video on "Shooting the Whitworth" was the first I watched after getting mine. I've only added the "English Cartridge" to my library...

FWIW watched a test on a ballistic dummy with 9mm (.356) and .45ACP. Slow motion footage showed the difference in impact. The frontal area of the .45 produced a much bigger crater on impact even at a slower velocity. YMMV

Whiskey comes to mind :thumb:

Proves wife swapping is nothing new, I was willing but the wife said she worth more than a cutting torch with empty tanks.

I got these two incidents from an article about British handguns published in the 1984 Guns and Ammo Annual. A Colonel Fosbery reported during the Sepoy Mutiny 5 well placed rounds of .36 conicals (60 to the pound as the Brits say) passed thru the chest of a sword bearing Sepoy at close range...

You're welcome :thumb:

Welcome aboard from Maryland. If you remember nothing else from Boy Scouts remember the motto "Be prepared". It's served me well for over 60 years.

FWIW my ancient 1937 "Complete Guide to Handloading" by Phil Sharpe lists loading data that today would have lawyers circling like buzzards. Lots of long lost data in there such as 18 grains of 2FF behind a 158 grain bullet in a 38 Special gives 820 FPS, 26 grains of the same shove a 246 grain...

To keep it short, Tutt was hit between the 5th and 6th rib if memory serves me correctly and was drilled thru the heart, took a few steps onto a hotel porch and shouted he was killed and then died. I have my own 75 yard Davis Tutt challenge on my range and can smack it fairly regularly with my...

Welcome aboard fellow Marylander.
