He set his own path, had a great wife, (Diamond Dot), and will never be equaled, no doubt.

Diamond Dot is John Taffin's wife. Mike Venturino's wife's name is Yvonne. She's been featured in his articles since I started reading his material in the late 80s.

Couldn't help myself.
Had a Pietta rebored to use .41 ball. Now I need a long rifle to shoot .41 ball.

Just found this thread! That's what I get for not showing up as often as I should.

Beautiful, historically important revolver, just maybe the best of combinations.

Now, I have to go back and re-read everything...I want one.
