Howdy gang. I've been a reader of this forum and THR forum for quite a few years now. I dont post much because IMHO I'm a lousy poster. I do however, share the love and compassion for my revolvers that ya'll have for your's. My collection is quite small compared to some of the ones I've seen on here, but the 8 revolvers i do have are kept spotless and polished, stripped down to the last possible part, cleaned and oiled after each shooting session. All that I have come to know and learn about these revolvers is about probablly 60% learned from you guys here on the forums, and 40% learned from just doing. That includes taking apart my revolvers and looking under a magnifying glass at each of the separate parts, looking for burrs, roughness, etc. I havnt yet quite got the full scope of using the digital calipers I purchased a while back, but im learning as i go. My favorite revolver is my 1851 Navy in .44 cal. Its not a brasser, but a steel framed one with silver plating on the backstrap and TG. I know its not "histerically correct" as jager would say, but I've got to the point where I can achieve 1.5 - 2" groups at 25 yds all day long with it. It just feels right in my hands and although it shoots aboout 8 inches high, I refuse to file down any sight, front or back, because Ive learned where to point it to get my desired results every time. I am blessed in having a built in range at my place of employment, which is 15 minutes away, and allways available to me anytime, day or night. But anyways, I just want you guys to know that in my book all of ya's are top notch dudes, allways willling to help out a newbie with questions, and share your knowledge with them.....
I respect that alot! I'm sorrry to hear about Aussie and his condition, and am also sorry to hear about Smokin guns plight. I have you two in my prayers, and am cofident that all will work out. anyways, I'll quit ramblin now, but just want you guys to know theres some of us out here, that although we may not allways participate, and post.... We still enjoy (at least I do) all the knowledge and information that is picked up in here. Happy and safe shootin!
