Thanks for the replies everyone. It kind of seems like, as a general rule, this was probably not a very practical solution to reloading revolvers.

We've probably all seen westerns like Pale Rider in which someone reloads a revolver by swapping out an empty cylinder for a full one. My question, though, is whether that's historically accurate. Was it practical to carry a full cylinder for quick reloads in the old west? Is that something...

Thanks, that certainly does help.

I've been trying to found out when breech-loading double-barrels first became common and I haven't had much luck on my own. I would certainly appreciate it if someone here could shed some light on this issue.

Two years later, I scored a 160.

That's utterly preposterous. The principles I stand for are the very reason I dislike the idea of participating in the systematic robbery and oppression that is the government. Why is voting so sacred that we should surrender our principles to do it?

I like the vote for nobody idea, and I second that. No matter who you elect, they're still going to be operating within the same system of coercion. Even if they promote different pet projects or values, the difference between one candidate and another is simply a matter of shades and esthetics.

The real problem with the AWB is that it attempts to legislate something merely because it might be used in a crime. If we're going to use that tactic, we might as well lock up teenage males, especially minority teenage males, as they tend to commit a disproportionatly large number of crimes...

Is the front sight visible through those scopes?

I would hope that most folks on here would have the sense to recommend not chasing unarmed people down and shooting them in the back as part of 'self defense', though.

I think you underestimate the ability of people to rationalize some pretty terrible things.

I thought about that, too, Fisherman, but the MSRP of the .460 X-Frame is more than half-again as much as that of the SRH.

I've decided to get my first magnum-caliber gun, and right now I'm leaning towards a Super Redhawk .454 with the 7 1/2" barrel. I like the caliber because I don't reload and I think there's a good spectrum of factory ammo available in .45 Colt and .454. I like the gun because Ruger seems to...

Does Truglo have a good reputation? The blurb in G&A caught my eye too, I've been thinking about getting something for my AR15.

Does everyone living in China, France, or Italy think and act the same way? You apparently missed an important element in his post: Every culture in the entire world is draws from many different sources. I'll also take this opportunity to make the incredibly bold statement that no culture...

Thanks for the info, Art and Rick.

This was very funny. Good post.

This strikes me as an odd segue into the body of your post, but maybe you were trying to be ironic.

Yeah, I've heard that before but only secondhand. Anyone have any good sources that back that up?

Is that were the term for inexpensive handguns came from or did it inspire the song title, too?
