I appreciate where you're coming from on the single-shot, though: there's something calm about sitting there, withdrawing a round from the cartridge box, chambering it, settling, aiming, shooting, pulling out the spent case - all at your leisure. :) I've got a Navy (Rossi) 92 Short Rifle in...

Thanks, Mal - I wasn't sure where to put it. Back when THR started and I was more active, departing friends wasn't really a thing in my life. :(

He was a good man and a good friend.

LOL, Bill. Well, you were right. Tony was a great guy, but the only thing I still use HS-6 for is .45 Colt. :) I'm so sorry for your loss.

It's a leather-lined but otherwise basic Remora. Alan Bogdan (the owner) is a great guy and he is wonderful about accommodating weird guns like this one. :)

Just because the thread deserves photos, here's my birth year 1934. Decently accurate at 10 yds despite heavy trigger. Reminds me of a Makarov's simplicity. Eek! It appears to be on half-cock! Surely no lawyer would carry it that way?!?

I'm happy to honor our dear friend, Chief TC, but posting here was at the suggestion of our friend StrawHat (Kevin from Ohio). (While I was a first-day member here at THR during the big pause at TFL, I am afraid I don't visit too often these (retired) days.)

Oh wow: those things are TANKS! Use it in good health!

He's gone. May he rest in peace and may eternal light shine upon him. God be with all who miss him until they meet him again in Glory.

If you pray, please consider a prayer for the peaceful transition of our friend Tony Spano, who's long posted as @ArchAngelCD here on the forum. Tony has been a good friend to me for many years; I'm not sure, but I may have met him here. I thought many folks here would want to know that Tony's...

Wow, that's cooler than a fan!

A tungsten carbide ring (I got one to use as a "back up wedding ring" for when I'm doing chores and such) will do a fine job of honing/straightening an edge.

Cooler than a fan! :)

Welcome to THR! They're neat: I have both a carbine and a pistol in .54. Man, serious medicine! I'd advise keeping an eye on Gunbroker . . . and also cruising your local stores. I'd wanted a .54 pistol for twenty years and wound up paying $90 for mine in a local store. I think I gave under...
