More prayers, directed at specific areas of the spine -- and for his surgical team, and for his family.
Funny how, under these circumstances, shooting and gun stuff matters so little and Jim matters a lot. I think he is teaching another lesson, God bless that man.

I keep checking in hopes Jim has sent us a few words. Sure hope you are going to be all right my friend. More prayers sent.

I miss Alamogordo, but confess it is a couple of degrees cooler here on the Continental Divide. Folks make fun of the “dry heat” out here in the desert, but I will happily take 100 F and 7 percent humidity while the rest of you are dripping wet at 80 with 80 percent. No thank you!

Oh, no! Jim, prayers up to Papa God. I so look forward to your Sunday message and the wisdom you share here. Please don't go -- but I know our Papa awaits you with a bear hug and a "Well done!"

I have the 17th, and yes, those are still the two loads listed.

Bill in Oregon

On hold.

Bill in Oregon

Ted, give in, bro!

Heck, I'll even throw in dies, brass and bullets.

.45, if reading Foa on the 'puter doesn't set well, the book is one of those in the Capstick Library and easily available used.

One simply cannot argue with experience.

Would go $575 shipped from my FFL to yours.

Posting this for John B -- "nwcatman" -- his very nicely cleaned up Lubamatic II lubrisizer with V and an A3 stamped on the side. Sure is pretty.

If you want to know how practical a .303 double is in Africa, find a copy of Edouard Foa's "After Big Game in Central Africa," published in 1899. It's a fabulous read about this Frenchman's epic explorations and hunts, and while he had larger bore rifles for the dangerous stuff, it is rema...

Brian Pearce makes some really good points in favor of a handgun with a deep penetrator in bear country.

Search for jobs in the Permian Basin of west Texas and eastern New Mexico. And don't overlook the Four Corners area.

Vall, you surely have a gift for finding some of the most amazing firearms and related equipment!

I need to shoot the drill several times with a .22 before stepping up to an adequate CF pistol round.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks for the encouragement Jim. At 73, I better see to this sooner than later!

I've actually hunted four seasons with a handgun that I can recall -- one of those seasons for black bear. My first year was back about 1980 or 81 with a Blackhawk, .41 Magnum, 4 5/8 barrel, with some sort of Speer bullet over Blue Dot, which developed a bad reputation in .41 Magnum about then. I br...

Doubt there are any better collections of Winchesters and clones that actually see regular use.

Bill in Oregon

Here is an interesting drill.

Thanks for the update Scott. Prayer that he gets some of his endurance back over coming weeks and months.

I was in a local shop yesterday getting a handgun shipped when I spied Unique on the shelf for the first time in a long time. Had to have a pound, even at a price of 84 spondulicks.

Bill in Oregon

Thanks fellas. Jim, where did you find an 8-inch barrel? Carry it in an X-15?

Bill in Oregon

Potterfield must have had a bad dream that he wasn't rich enough.

Thanks Walt!

Just wondering what the sixgunners here prefer to pack when specifically handgun hunting for antelope, deer, hogs, "bars" and mebbe elk. I go back and forth between the packability of the 5 1/2 and the sight radius (I can use all the help I can get) of the 7 1/2. Love to hear your thoughts...

Here's a low round-count Blackhawk .41 Magnum with cylinder throats reamed to .410 by Fermin Garza and Altamont "super walnut" checkered grips. $575 plus $50 shipping/FFL on my end. Ask if interested in dies, brass, etc. If you have a Blackhawk in .45 Colt you'd like to trade, talk to me. ...

Bill in Oregon

Did they also graciously charge you extra for "shipping protection" you didn't ask for?

Your father and his cardiologist have mine, Scott.

Jay, I read that Leo McCarey took a day and a half to shoot this scene because every time Laughton started the Gettysburg Address, he could not keep from crying, moved by those tremendous words. Part of the solution was to place a camera just behind Laughton to focus on the faces of the bar patrons ...

Andy, I wish I had known about that scope rail before trading off my Super Wrangler. Nice piece of equipment.

Bill in Oregon

I'm only vaguely familiar with them, but they are a huge problem and are even implicated in the decline of quail populations is some areas. Ankles got chewed up once while clearing brush in the alley behind my home in Sweetwater. Amazing that they crawl onto you and then wait until one signals "...

Stunning Harold! Thanks for sharing.

Some of the best moments ever written and filmed in the history of cinema: Charles Laughton in "Ruggles of Red Gap," 1935, reciting Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Doesn't matter if your folks were Yankee or Secesh. Mine were both, equally. These are words for all places and all time. https:...

I paid $5.99 and $6.99 a few days ago at Sportsman's Warehouse.

Apparently there are a couple of these critters out there--in Canada of all places. Here in the land of the free, these would be considered short-barreled shotguns under the NFA. Sheesh.

Dang, Vall, what a nice addition to your collection. Years ago I showed up a few times just to watch members of the State of Jefferson Schuetzen club shoot their marvelous rifles at the Sportsman Park off I-5 north of Grants Pass. The schuetzen rifles are even more intoxicating when seen in person.

I don't know how many times I have read "Roughing It," and laughed each time like I had never seen it before. The pepperbox that fetched the mule, the "right sociable heifer" in the stagecoach, efforts at reform, the coyote" thinking about his sins." Dear Father, please...

Bill in Oregon

Now cut that out, fellas!

Bill in Oregon

Wonderful find, Will! I know you will do it justice.

Bill in Oregon

Rimfire, I have no idea what you are talking about, but sure do appreciate you making such a generous offer!

Bill in Oregon

Safe travels and a fair wind!

This is a pleasant exercise. I like all the fellas' choices so far. For me, although this is likely a work in progress: 1. Ruger Mk IV 22/45 5.5-inch bull barrel (will put grouse and rabbits in the pot, but also be competitive at 50-foot NRA bullseye) 2. Ruger Blackhawk, .45 Colt (to do the closer-r...

My Dad, who saw combat in the winter and spring of 1945 in southern Germany and the Sudetenland with the 97th Infantry, indulged my interest in firearms and hunting in my early years. I was probably about six when he got me up one morning early and said we were going to hunt pheasants in the fields ...

Bill in Oregon

Thanks Vall.

Bill in Oregon

Nice, Vall. Any idea what properties the steel possesses in terms of strength and edge holding?

Bill in Oregon

I've been shooting sixguns since high school fifty-some years ago, and I don't know half the stuff you guys are educating me on in this thread. Thank you.

Looks like a special place and a very special time, Jim. I b'lieve I spotted a Shiner or two on the tables ...

Boys, I think some of us are on the same page age-wise. Nice to have such good company.
