Just Because
I have posted most of this before - I own modern and black powder firearms. I have over the last three decades carried and shot C&B revolvers. They were some of the first guns I owned, and throughout the years have only grown in my appreciation. When I was in my early 20s, they were all I could afford to shoot that was not a .22. I've hunted small game with black powder pistols and carried them regularly in the woods and on the farm. Mine are Second Generation Colts. Yep, that's pre-ban elephant ivory!!! They are accurate enough to do anything I want, and are reliable enough for me to be comfortable with. Some days dependent on what I am doing, I will have a C&B revolver with me. Truth is, most of the time, CC is as much a matter of assurance for those carrying as anything else. Guess, one would need to weigh out the threat - where I'm from, there havn't been too many shoot-outs at the SONIC over hamburgers.
Those Colts are beautiful and that collection is priceless. Someone definitely knew what he was doing.
