Five rounds.....................

I’m sure breaking out your old duty weapon brought back memories.

Internet win for the day.

Thanks. I've owned this Colt for about twenty five years. I used to hunt coyotes with it at 100 yards, when my eyes were younger. The nickeled sights really can be a challenge in the sunlight.

I had a nice USFA as well.



I let it go down the road right before the company went belly up. I've always regretted that, it was a beauty. When I divested myself of most of my western guns I kept the Colt rather than the USFA simply because it's the real deal and for some sentimental reasons.

If you have any more of those kind of pictures, please share with us - very much appreciated.

Here's another one.


I was at the local Cabela's today looking at several nice Winchester lever actions, a nice Quigley Sharps, etc. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts..........

A Quigley Sharps would be very tempting

A Quigley Sharps would be very tempting

Indeed it is. I resist by telling myself how cruel it would be to my arthritic right shoulder and how I no longer have easy access to a shooting location with the kind of range that would make shooting it worthwhile. I don't know if logic is enough to win the case.

Those don't have to kick that hard, if you roll your own (cigar-sized) ammo for them.

You're not helping.

You're not helping.

How else will you have shoulder metrics?

[Duelist]

You're not helping.

Really?! I thought that was very helpful, at least to your “Quigley gun is cool/buy it tomorrow” side.

A Quigley Sharps (“you get used to the weight”) should be very enjoyable to shoot. Making your own reloads is so very authentic, too!

Thanks for the pictures, but with all due respect, I do believe I've got the bad thoughts market cornered.
