I recently acquired a couple boxes of LEO SWCHP with nickel plated brass shell casings. As I opened my stainless revolver and slowly loaded each cylinder with a grey lead hollow point with a shiny shell casing, it reminded me of the Lone Ranger’s “Silver Bullets”. I don’t exactly have a white horse to ride off into the sunset, but I guess I could always just wave my Stetson out the window of my white Bronco. "Hi-yo, Silver, away!"

It has occasionally crossed my mind while firing Winschester Silvertips, Kemo Sabe.

Saturday morning line-up.....

3 Stooges, Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Sky King....all in black and white too!

[FuzzyBunny]

Gexx..Saturday morning line-up. How about Slam Bang Theater. RIP Mr. Canfield.

Anyway do the silvertips really have any silver in them at all?

[OrangePwrx9]

Always wondered how the folks on the Lone Ranger could look at a bullet and know it was silver. A fresh lead bullet looks a lot like silver to me.

Every time I put my hand to my Vaquero and think about evil doers.

[BHP FAN]

SKY KING!That takes me back!

[wuluf]

Who was that masked man??

[SaxonPig]

Doesn't Kemosabe translate into "dumbass white guy?"

I have some 38 Special loads in nickel cases with Golden Sabre bullets. Very colorful.

Well, many of my knives are tantos. One of my favorites is the Cold Steel Gunsite w/5-inch blade.

Speaking of the Lone Ranger, I recently talked to a woman from Iran. I did a bit from the William Tell Overture and asked her if she knew what it was. She said, "Isn't it from a Western?" HaHaHa. Fifty-something years later...maybe more...and it's still workin'!

As a photographer with the Navy, I found I couldn't get some of these serious admirals to smile, or at least look pleasant. So I'd say, "Do you know where the Lone Ranger takes his trash?"

"No. Where?"

"To the dump, to the dump to the dump, dump, dump!"

Never failed, not once. Ever. I think even Rickover would'a cracked.

i know that most folks pronounce it like that, but the lone rangers side kick was "Tonto"

I don't know how silver bullets would work on bad guys but I hear they really come into their own with vampires.

You're confusing vampires with werewolves-a miSTAKE that could cost you dearly.

very costly mistake.

for vampires, you should be loaded up with ultraviolet rounds. it you want to go cheap, you can use wooden bullets, but you'll need to followup with a wooden stake to the heart or take the head off with a wakizashi

[Blue Brick]

"very costly mistake."

LOL

[indiandave]

I better go out and buy me a "miSTAKE" to be safe.:D

[Wishoot]

yippee ki yay!!!

[foghornl]

Kemosabe is an Apache expression that means "Horse rear end".

Didja eve notice that the only time Tonto said "kemosabe" was AFTER the lone Ranger sent Tonto into a saloon on a scouting mission, and Tonto had gotten Whomped by the Bad Guys?

[NMGonzo]

Wooden bullets ... mmhm.

[sig220mw]

Damn PappyDC you must be as old as I am. I used to watch the same line up.

[texagun]

I saw an old interview recently with Jay Silverheels (Tonto on the Lone Ranger) and he said he didn't care much for Clayton Moore (who played the Lone Ranger). He said Clayton thought he was the Lone Ranger in real life, wearing his outfit and mask everyplace he went, and didn't have much to do with mere mortals such as indian actors. They didn't get along too well off the set and really didn't speak to each other.

From a bio of Clayton Moore:

"Clayton Moore was a circus acrobat at the age of eight and grew up in the Midwest (Illinois)...worked in the circus and traveled to New York and then Hollywood where he became a stuntman and bit player...inducted into the "Stuntman's Hall of Fame" in 1982...also received the "Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame'" also the "Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum" both in 1990...Clayton was once quoted "Playing him [the Lone Ranger] made me a better person.", "Once I got the Lone Ranger role, I didn't want any other. I was playing the good guy."..."I will continue wearing the white hat and black mask until I ride up into the big ranch in the sky." (On his costume as the Lone Ranger, February 4, 1985)...Clayton very much enjoyed quoting and lived by "A Ranger's Creed" which included this moral lesson "That God put the firewood there, but every man must gather and light it himself."

Hard not to when you live here.....talk about riding off into the sunset!! Great deer/moose/coyote/bear hunting here too.

Only if you let Bram Stoker make the rules. Pure silver, according to ancient lore, worked against anything evil and supernatural. Yes, even vampires. It was a white metal, and supposedly pure. Salt also works. (Filling the vampire's mouh with salt was always a good touch--also sewing the lips shut.)

It hasn't been tried with politicians, so beware!
