    jacketed rounds in a Ruger old army

    @halfmoonclip, exactly. The few cartridges I've shot through my ROA were loaded with black powder or light loads of Trail Boss. But a lot more lead over black powder in the original cylinder.

    I assume you're using a conversion cylinder. My ROAs have only seen lead, even when shooting cartridges. No point in stressing it. That's what the Blackhawk is for. 😉

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    I bought an inexpensive thumb stop for the AR pistol ... and my MI folding front sight finally arrived. Now to get it to the range.

    Another bite at the apple?

    Original Ruger PC4 (eventually sold the second, too) Pre-lock S&W 317 (plan to keep the second; took a long time to find one) Lots of Marlin lever guns because I want to like levers. They’re all gone now.

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    I like this. I'd restate slightly: "When trouble finds me, it will not find me helpless."

    how did it start for you?

    Toy guns as a kid, but we lived in a metro area and my family wasn't into guns. I had opportunity to shoot a bolt action .22 a couple of times at a friend's farm, but nothing regular. I tried out for the rifle team in college and did well. That sort of whet the appetite, but again, I didn't...

    What is this little whirligig for?

    My key to my wife’s car rides on one of those.

    Rear bag suggestions?

    Good choice. I have a couple of Protektors. I'm liking the one with the slick silver top.

    Hypothetically what would be your choice: Uzi in 9mm w/ 16 Mags or Winchester Lever Action in 45/70 w/ 100 rounds of ammo?

    Neither one would make my list, much less a short list. But if forced to choose, I'd take the lever, mostly because I don't have anything in 45/70.

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    When I'm traveling, open carry state or no, I always check handgunlaw.us to refresh my list of "duty to inform" states. I'm rarely pulled over, but when I am, I open the window and keep both hands on the steering wheel until addressed by the officer. Be polite and follow instructions. If...

    Have to chuckle

    @Pat Riot, you just explained why my wife often looks at me funny. I've even been known to stop a streaming movie to scroll back and show her the error. She's very patient, even though she does roll her eyes sometimes. 🙄

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Well, after multiple emails from DACK Outdoors telling me "Your order is now processing," they appear to have canceled my order without notice or explanation. Saw the credit on my card statement. I know from experience they can be slow, but they've always delivered before. So I had to place a...
