Every video I've seen of a charging or running bear shows the animal bouncing around, slewing left and right, and with its head going up and down. I wonder how many times I could hit it in a vital location under stress. Many years ago, as a town cop, I had to shoot a large, vicious German...

Just a few .22s... Tim

As far as I know, the only High Standards reported to have cracked frames allegedly due to the use of HV ammo are the 100-series right up to the present time. The older models, like the H-D Military and the like, apparently do not have the problem. Tim

A friend wanted a 4-5" diameter tree in his yard taken down. Took about 18 rounds of .45 Colt from my 7 1/2" Colt Single Action... Tim

Jim-- I am going to go out to the range next week and try to duplicate the 20 yard 1 1/2" group standard that H&R required of the 199. I'll use various brands of standard velocity ammunition and give a full report. Wish me luck! Tim

Jim-- That is great information. I never imagined such care went into the making of these fine revolvers! Now I have the itch to go out and shoot it! Tim

Thanks, Jim-- It's about new condition, and you are right about the trigger pull! Tim

Has anyone considered matching the gun to its intended purpose? I have seen a video of a charging grizzly--very fast and scary. Mountain lions--even more so. Feral dogs travel in packs. Point being, I bet if I shot at any of these critters under that kind of pressure, I'd miss more...

OK, I'll play...all are rimfires~! A trio of Pre-18 Combat Masterpieces, Keith Brown and Jurac grips on a couple... A Pre-War and a Model 1953 Kit Guns... A few Colts... A few Berettas... A very rare Transitional Kit Gun...! Another pre-war Kit Gun A gorgeous...

Here's my 2nd Model S&W which was converted to a target model, probably by the Factory... ...and a Model 24-3 wearing an old set of "Cokes", which I think suit her just fine... Tim

The Walther P5 ejects cases to the left- great guns, but a bit scarce these days. Tim

Exhibition French Walnut Ropers, by Keith Brown, on my S&W Model 26-1 in .45 Colt. Tim

Should you pull your gun? A friend of mine is in trouble (menacing 2nd, possession of a weapon) for pulling a gun on a guy in the situation described by quick draw mcgraw. The road-rager exited his truck after stopping in the middle of the lane, and came back at my pal, swearing and swinging...

Hogues Same problem--wrong stirrup. If you modify the wrong one and use a longer screw, you run the risk of driving the screw right into the butt of the gun, marring it. I e-mailed Hogue and never got an answer. The grips are in my desk drawer now, probably forever. Tim :mad:

Does anyone have any experience with really good cold blues? I've read about "Van's" and "Blue Wonder"--but I don't know if they are any good. Advice? Thanks! Tim

Can anyone tell me when and for how long S&W 1955s used the "W" mainspring? Thanks! Tim

1955 of 1955 Peter-- Here's an original~!! Tim

Does anyone out there have any experience with S&W rifle scopes? Thanks! Tim

Favorite The Colt Officer's Model Match in .22 Magnum that my wife bought me for a wedding present when I married her 28 years ago! What foresight!
