That is a very nicely done 1911. I suspect you will put a lot of miles on that gun. It is true to Col. Cooper's thoughts: Reliable, with sights you can see and a trigger you can...

Actually, the retort should be: "Onagasimasu." Translated from Japanese as "Will you train with me?"

Nice Officers Model.

Malamute:

Thanks for indulging me. I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer to the Malamute Gods that you are able to do the adoption.

Nice looking rifle too.

Malamute:

I plead guilty to thread drift: What are the pups' names? Handsome pair of mals.

GJM:

Agreed. As a fan of the 30-06 I do think it covers pretty much every need in the U.S. That said, I have always been enamored with the idea of a 35 Whelen. The "responsible adult" in...

Outpost 75:

Thanks for the data on that load. The more I load/shoot that combination, the better I like it. I'll have to look into the Saeco mold. I didn't realize it was speed loader...

UNM1136:

I saw the reference to the 35 Whelen AI (Ackley Improved, I believe). I have always been fascinated with that cartridge but never got around to buying/building a gun for it. What...

Outpost 75:

Those are solid choices. I see in the photo of your Colt official Police that you are using 3.5 grains of Bullseye with a 158 grain bullet. I believe I got the same load from...

03RN:

That is a Sparks PMK, correct? That is rapidly becoming a favored revolver holster (at least for outside the waistband carry). I use mine for a Ruger GP100 Match Champion and it...

Lyonsgrid:

Very nicely done revolver. I always admired Smythons. I have seen the same treatment done to Ruger Security Six revolvers and would love to have one of those.

Please...

Cecil:

Thank you for the kind words and endorsement. Coming from you that means a lot. I am in the same boat in that I need to cross paths with you at one of your classes. The retention...

Serious Student:

Thanks for the kind words and endorsement. I appreciate it immensely. Hopefully our paths cross this fall, if not sooner, at Gunsite.

Folks:

I will be conducting several classes through my company, SAC Tactical, at the Double Tapp Range just east of Boise this coming June. Double Tapp is a newer (and fabulous) facility. I...

What follows are a series of courses that my company, SAC Tactical will be conducting in the northwest Montana area (typically in or near Kalispell). We have added several Firearms...

Dogcaller:

I am glad I could provide some help on this issue. I actually carry a Comp III when I pack a wheelgun. Rob Leahy's Sidewinder speed loader pouch makes it pretty easy. I'll show...

Dogcaller:

A couple of thoughts.

First, while I am always of a mind that "more" is better, realistically if you and your son each have two (2) Safariland Comp IIs or IIIs, you...

Janitor:

This may be sacrilegious in a 1911 thread, but it appears that the rifle is a Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester. Any details that you can share on that rifle? It is gorgeous and a great...

[QUOTE=Tokarev;1550348]

Later guns were cast frames which was supposed to be more durable. These were used on the 40 S&W guns and probably most of the commercial MK3 guns sold in the US....

Wade:

Excellent. I look forward to meeting you and your son as well. See you in Nivember!

Defilade:

Good on you for doing this for your son. I did it for mine and it has paid numerous dividends, miost notably being my son assists me when I am teaching and he is becoming a fine...

Malamute:

Thanks for the link to Charles Russell's book. I know of him via his artwork but never knew he did much writing. I'll read that this winter.

As to Col. Cooper's books,...

NHShooter:

Thanks for posting the photos and educating me on your set up. I am leaning heavily towards carrying a small, fixed blade knife as opposed to the various folders I have used over...

Feudist:

When my son and I were at Gunsite for the Pat Roger's Memorial Revolver Roundup this past November, we naturally hit the Pro Shop. While I have most of Colonel Cooper's books, my son...

BobM:

You are the man. Thanks for the reference. My son started reading "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth" over Christmas. He and I chatted about the Colonel's writings...
