I picked up a pair of Nocona cowboy boots a few weeks ago at a resale shop for $30. W00t. And as I've been wearing them, I've noticed that there seems to be plenty of space in the shaft for, well, carrying things. If for no other reason than the novelty, I'd like to get a boot knife, but how...

On a slight tangent, have you tried any aftermarket 3rd party grips on your Charter?

I actually love the 1911A2. I wouldn't want one, but it nice to see something REALLY different for a change, instead of yet another massive revolver chambered for heaven knows what.

I for one can't wait to attend an Appleseed. I hope to go later this year. I know next to nothing about how to manipulate a long arm, having spent all my time studying handguns, and I see Appleseed as a cheap and fun way to get some real training. :)

It's about .06.

Somebody suggested to me that for cheap practice with a revolver, spent casings be re-primed and pressed into a sheet of paraffin, creating a paraffin practice bullet. Has anybody here tried this? Thoughts and feedback...?

451 Detonics, what semiauto are you hiding behind the revolver in your first picture?

Here is the website for the company Wild West Guns. Looks like a good crowd. http://wildwestguns.com/

I find it odd that they used a single action design... forgive my ignorance, but isn't that type of revolver designed to have extra muzzle flip? Seems counter-productive.

Love the Steyr. A buddy of mine owns one and I borrow it for the range every chance I get. It's the only polymer pistol I would want to own. Easy to shoot, accurate, and the sight design is genius, IMHO. Oh, and the trigger has enough resistance to it it's like shooting a light double action...

Believe it or not, I actually like the lines. Much more elegant than a Glock.

Oh wow... all it needs now is a compensator and it could be a race gun.

Slight threadjack: who does good after-market work on 442's and other air-weights? Sight inserts, barrel porting, cylinder chamfering [sic?], etc?

I was given a Kindle for Christmas, and I'm looking for cheap or free e-books on shooting with which to fill it. I'm looking particularly for classic stuff: articles or books by the likes of Fairbairn, Sykes, Cooper, Askins, and others of their ilk. With the exception of Massad Ayoob and perhaps...

You wouldn't happen to have any pics of you wearing it, would you, CPE?
