Photographic Collection Boy there are some fine photographers in this group! And some beautiful firearms! Here is my contribution . . . my John Linebaugh custom Bisley in .500 Linebaugh. Dwayne

A Single a Double and a Lever? Thats a pretty tall order. You mentioned CAS style but did not say if your intentions were to be historically accurate or if you were willing to depart for a little more practicality. If historical accuracy is important then the only real combo for an SA and...

Shooting the Bisley w John Linebaugh John sure is a walking talking Encyclopedia of ballistics isn't he? I have a very good friend who is a Saddle maker in Cody, WY. He made the holster in the photos. John lives just to the north of Cody a few miles. For his privacy I will simply say that I...

Bisley Retro This is my John Linebaugh custom Ruger Bisley in .500 Linebaugh. I met John a few years ago and got an invitation to shoot with him. 20 Rounds later I was hooked. The one thing that really impresses me is how well the Bisley grip and frame handle what is essentially rifle cartridge...

I have an 1873 Model Winchester in .44-40 with an Octagonal Barrel made in in 1887. I have a letter from the Cody museum unfortunately much of the detail was lost in the factory fire at Winchester. The odd part of this gun is its barrel size. The Barrel is neither the Heavy Barrel or the...

Handgun Portraits Here is my .500 Linebaugh and custom knife wrapped in Seidel leather. Dwayne

Hi Jay . . I was trying to be tongue and cheek a bit with the 9mm guys and happened to use Nailshooters post to reply. I should have used used a new post. The 10 MM is an excellent round for most purposes and I think very highly of it.

Bears, Bells, and Oh Hell! Oh god I can see the newspapers again! That advice might work in Alaska, but you have to take into consideration that down here in the lower 48 the largest majority of our bears are in Federal Management areas. We can't carry guns in YELLOWSTONE and we don't have...

Intelligent Retort from R Lee First off thank you for an intelligent retort. I appreciate the thought that went into your posting. I went looking for data that we could use for discussion material and found that the 1989 FBI study from Quantico, VA concluded the 9mm and .45 round both provided...

Psychological Effect Vs Impact I see you have read the report by Urey Patrick regarding the physics of bullet mass and the impossibility of creating enough energy to actually knock down a human being. The report states the following. "A bullet simply cannot knock a man down. If it had the...

Thank you for the most intelligent posting on this subject. I made the same case . . . just not nearly as elegantly as you did.

Attention all Glock 9mm shooters. You are formally invited to the essence of spring celebration in the Rocky Mountains! We promise you will be treated to beautiful scenery filled with fabulous hiking trails and a once in a lifetime opportunity to test your shooting skills. We have arranged with...

Dualing Banjo's Yeah . . . and look what happened to his friend Ned Beatty!!!

First question: Before you began firing did you gap the firing cone on the barrel to the cylinder with the DW gauge? And if so was the lock nut tightened securely using the other DW supplied tool? Any if so did you check to see if the cylinder was rotating properly befor eyou began...

The idea that Grizzly's are growing in numbers in Wyoming is actually an excellent sign of their recovery. I can't comment if the numbers are "Inflated". However I have crossed Yellowstone many times lately and at least twice in the last year across Mary Mountain trail through the Lamar and...

Handgun Vs Automatic I think anything semi-automatic is an excellent idea. That way when the bear shoves your SSK with the filed down front sight up your a$$ and then takes away your SIG P229 backup he wont be able to engage the safety.

From our friends at API Treadwell's films of close-up encounters with giant bears brought him a bounty of national media attention. The fearless former drug addict from Malibu, Calif. -- who routinely eased up close to bears to chant "I love you'' in a high-pitched, sing-song voice --...

Eye Protection Not to get to far off subject but I think this comment requires some serious reflection. I was at an indoor shooting range a number of years ago. The range requires all shooters to wear eye protection. On that fateful day I was in the far right stall and was firing my Dan...

Ballads & Bears I hate bear bells and I can't take a dog on pack trips with the horses so I have to sing. It's good for scaring small farm animals and apprently it must also works on bears. 43 years with no altercations. I guess those singing lessons were good for something afterall! Now...
