...you do everything in multiples of 6,not 10....
....when you see a cop show,you get excited when somone uses a revolver.
 
...you check Grant Cunningham's site weekly to see if the waiting list is reopened.

...you seriously consider hiring a web site designer for Gemini just so the colors don't hurt your eyes so.

...You regularly check Tamara's The Arms Room for the Sunday Smith.

...You know how to spell Kuhnhausen and Miculek. Worse, you can pronounce "Miculek".

...You bought a progressive reloader with casefeeder due solely to .45 Colt and .41 Mag ammo prices. And the nice lady at Starline recognizes your voice when you call.

...You know what an IBOK is. You've memorized which Rugers have separate trigger return springs and which don't.

...You keep checking Ebay for sperm whale oil because the receipe you got from the American Gas Furnace Company calls for it.

...You wish people would stop calling Colt "bolts" "cylinder stops" and S&W "cylinder stops" "bolts" and can't quite fathom why you wish this.

...You genuinely wonder why Supica calls S&W grips "stocks" out of respect for S&W naming conventions but nobody accords Colt the same respect when Colt refers to a certain cartridge as a .45 LONG Colt.

...You find yourself inexplicably offended by Colt's white hammer on the current SAA because it's not, well, Colt enough.

...You've stopped being surprised to discover grits in your store-bought cowboy loads.
 
and if you wish folk would quit calling revolvers "wheelguns"....unless your revolver has training wheels...."resolver" is totally acceptable....

Hawk, try watch lubricants for sperm whale oil.....got a special blueing job you're thinking of?......
 
If you really can shoot a double action revolver faster than you can shoot a glock.

If you can reload a double action revolver faster than you can reload a glock.

If you own a mateba, or once owned a mateba.

If you know what a mateba is.

...you once heard two guys talking about cylinders firing out of time, and pipe in with a recommendation of a good gunsmith that specializes in refurbishing revolvers, only to find out their talking about engines.
 
...the primary function of your case trimmer is to increase the number of reloads you can make.

...you've been reloading for 20 years and still aren't sure what C.O.L. is, or why it's important.

...you have more hard cast WFN bullets on hand than jacketed.

...you know what WFN means.
 
....you can carry a pocket full of loose ammo and pull out six rounds without conscious thought.

....you see an advertisement featuring a woman holding a revolver, but only notice the woman after seeing fingers wrapped around the grips.

....you aren't familiar with "conditions" of guns, such as condition 1, condition 2, etc..
 
You Go the Range

to test a new round for crimp jump.

Coke Bottles have nothing to do with soda.

You care about the Bangor Punta era.

You carry a feeler gauge and have memorized acceptable gap ranges.

You see a lock free 90% 686 3 inch in a pawn shop and hope it is a CS-1...for under $500.

Pinned barrels get you excited.
 
..."Speed Strip" has nothing to do with how fast you can take your gun apart.

...or take your clothes off.:)



...the secondary purpose of your ccw piece is to start forest fires.
 
When all of your handguns are revolvers.

When you refer to semi-autos as "bottom feeders".

And as mentioned, you check grantcunningham.com daily for his waiting list to re-open.

Just my .02,

You don't feel "undergunned" or at a disadvantage when carrying a SAA copy in .45 Colt, (or other manstopper caliber) as your CCW....

You get torqued when folks refer to the .45 Colt as the .45 Long Colt...,

Your solution, if you ever felt at a disadvantage when carrying a SAA copy as a CCW, would be to carry two SAA copies...,

You fully understand the acronym "SAA"...,

While you wouldn't mind owning a 7-shot .357 revolver, you really don't feel the need, as you know you only have to hit the bad guy once with the round your shoot from your 6-gun, (or perhaps an even more powerful 5-gun).

You have no idea what "FTF", "FTE", "Stovepipe" or "Jam" means.

Edit: Your misfire drill is to pull the trigger again.
 
...You derive a grim sense of satisfaction from watching James Caan shoot Benicio del Toro in The Way of the Gun.

...Your favorite character in any cop drama is the 25-year vet who still uses a wheelgun.

...You don't mind that it takes you three times longer to clean your wheelgun than your Glock.

...You reach for a wheelgun any time you hear a strange noise at night.

...It pi$$es you off to hear the empty cylinder making the clicking noise when it's spun in action movies.

...It really pi$$es you off to see the hero slam his cylinder shut one-handed in movies.
