Welcome! Ha, You need that Big Horn model up there!

Jkbrea, Think you are really going to enjoy that one. I have the same gun which is currently dedicated to 45 ACPs. However, I've shot it with everything from 200gr SWCs to the Lee 320gr FNGC DC using the 45 Colt cyl. A lot of versatility, not to mention a lot of fun in a small package. https://phot...

Jkbrea, how did you like the toilet paper holder in the men's room at Freedom showroom? I have the same pistol sans the acp wheel. Bought my high ride strong side holster right there in their store. I bought mine about the same timeframe as when you bought the Colt SAA from me. Mine is black micart...

jkbrea

Now to find a holster. I really like this gun. It's my new elk packing and hiking gun. Heck...I'll use it for EDC. no bulkier than my S&W Mod 66.

I was awarded this Model 97 15 years ago. 45 Colt with 45 ACP cylinder. I shoot the ACP 99% of the time. I had my friend Gary Reeder turn the rear of both cylinders off so I could see the cartridge rims. The FA's are the best built single actions in the world, but I didn't want the cartridge rims r...

I just got back from SHOTShow in Las Vegas. It was amazing and overwhelming. I walked several miles and still didn't see all the exhibits. 60,000 attendees and 3 levels of exhibits! Met several good contacts for what I needed. It's not a gun show where you can make purchases but....I found the Freed...

My son lives in Alpena, Michigan. There is a small museum of shipwrecks from Lake Huron. They have all types of items recovered from several shipwrecks. They keep some of them displayed in ice cold water to preserve them. There is also a glass bottom ship tour that takes you to several old shipwrecks.

jkbrea

...and of course elk are everywhere since hunting units closed.

Working at a gun club is awesome but shooting everyday can get pricey. I gotta start reloading. I'm determined not to get cabin fever. I've been hiking several groomed paths with my dog and scouting areas to hunt next fall. There are lots of critters out and about. This week, there was a mountain li...

I wish they would make it in blued steel. Colt blueing always seemed better than most

Leupold has a FX II 6x36 on their website. It's also on optics planet.

I also read his first gun on the series was a Great Western. From True West Magazine: Gunsmoke and firearms aficionados may also remember Dillon using a Great Western revolver. That was true, in the early part of the series. After contacting Colt and finding out the company had no plans to resurrect...

jkbrea

That is totally unacceptable. I know you're hesitant to name them but I would. Maybe an email campaign from bunch of Levergunners and any other sites you frequent might put them in check. I recently had to send back a $300+ set of hearing protection to the company that made them because they quit wo...

At the gun club where I work I have seen about three Glocks attached to a CAA micro Roni. The Glock pistol fits inside making it a carbine size 9 mm. It has an arm brace. I got to shoot one a few times and it is easy to hit a hundred yard target consistently. It uses your existing Glock pistol and ...

Glad you're getting a new gun and I hope you enjoy it!. But it sure is a shame you have to go through all that to exercise your second amendment rights. Maybe they should do the same classes for First Amendment rights. And watch people go crazy when it affects them personally. Even California is mor...

When I was a rookie, I remember talking to a veteran LAPD officer. He said most everyone wore a clamshell but when walking around the station, other cops would reach over and pop other cops holsters open. It made them guard their sidearms more!

I went on a antelope hunt yesterday morning near Pinedale, Wyoming. Turned out to be the easiest hunt of my life. If you could call it that. I was on the way to get permission from a landowner and I saw a buck bedded down. I went about 3 miles to get permission and the landowner was not home. On the...

As a range master I see the variety of different guns every day. I also get to shoot other people's guns quite frequently :D . I ended up buying a Ruger long-range Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. It is a very comfortable shooting round. I hunt elk with a 30-06, but I think I will take this Ruger on an a...

Great meeting you and your family! You sure got a lot done in a short time! I'm glad you didn't have to use the bear spray.

If any member here ever wants to stop by, I'm at the gun club between Jackson and Hoback.

I bought a Ryobi battery powered chainsaw for $10 at a second hand store because I had a couple Ryobi power tools. I've used it a few times and it works pretty good. It has a much slower speed but works. I used to have a Poulen electric chainsaw that I got free. It also worked great and no messing w...

The sights started to get slightly blurry the last couple years for me. I put Scout scopes on two of my lever guns. A Marlin 45-70 XLR and a Marlin TK 3030. I love the Scout scopes. Out to about 300 yards they are awesome. In thick timber I can take them off with the quick-release rings. When I put ...

I have an 08 Street Glide. I bought it used in 2011 and have put a lot of miles it with no issues. I took a long ride through Ca, Az, and Co where temps hit over 110 and it rode great. All I've done to it is replace the air cleaner, handlebars, tires, battery and speakers. If you get it...have fun a...

Thank you! Going to shoot some Dan Wesson 1911's with CZ reps later today.

Anyone draw hunting tags yet? Now that I fled Ca to Wyoming, I pay resident prices! My 1st non-res elk tag in 1991 was $254. Last year...$707 for a elk :( . I just drew a cow/calf tag, an antelope tag, and can get a general elk tag (any elk) over the counter all for less than $150! Life is good. Hop...

I like the way my local gun shop does it. It's $30 but they waive it if you spend $30 on merchandise instead. Ammo or anything qualifies.

Guns have gotten cheap lately. I just picked up a Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm 2.0 for $339. And with a $40 rebate it's only costing me to $299.

jkbrea

No offense to anyone's dog out there!

What a story! That is a true hero. He's lucky that one soldier came back to pick up communication wires. Otherwise he would have died there and none of this would have been known.

jkbrea

Another reason I sold it off was it was too dang pretty to be taking out in the woods and beat up. Having a Colt in a box tucked away in a safe wasn't for me. This Vaquero is slightly used and is a tank, Plus with the money I made off of it I'm also getting a Smith & Wesson shield for concealed ...

jkbrea

I'm not an expert on them but I know the older Vaqueros are built on the Blackhawk frames. I know it fits my hand a lot better than the Colt did. Maybe the grips are just fatter.

When I retired I bought a new 3rd gen .45 Colt SAA because I had always wanted one. Only thing is, it felt too small for may hands and ended up a safe queen. I didn't like my pinky under the grip and if I moved my hand up, the hammer dug into the web of my hand. Shooting it was not comfortable. So.....

jkbrea

Before retiring I was our department rangemaster and pretty much got to shoot whenever I wanted. I got kind of spoiled. After retiring I didn't shoot much but now that I moved to Wyoming and live on a gun range, I can shoot whenever I want. Somedays days I do long range shooting and others I just go...

Mine was really bad with rust and stains. I put it in the oven on the cleaning mode. Gets much hotter. When I was done all the crud and rust was on the bottom of the stove. It came out like it was brand new and all I had to do was season it.

I didn't even know which one of my Smith's had the lock. I checked and only have 1 that has the lock. I have no idea what ever happened to the key but I don't worry about it " locking up". I shot plenty of Magnum loads and never had a problem. To me it's kind of like the silly writing on m...

If you're in Jackson you can always come visit Jackson Hole Gun Club. About 3 miles south of town. I live there and you're welcome to come shoot. Lots of fishing all around. Right now its between skiing and tourist season so its not crowded.

I'm curious...how does one find a gun club he can live at? I practically "live" at the Atglen Gun Club but I really would like to live at the gun club.....well, not really, I like our home but it sounds cool living at a gun club. Nice pictures! Along with the beautiful scenery you have pr...

It's like moving to a different country! I'm just south of Jackson. I know the politics here, (Teton County)are split, but nothing close to what I left. That 2nd pic a coyote. They're much healthier than the zombie looking yotes in Ca.

Moved here over a year ago from So Cal and loving it. Snow was pretty brutal in Feb but melting off quick. It was -15 when I got my elk in December! I love Wyoming! And working/living at a gun club ain't half bad! Here are a few pic I took last month. The elk was through a spotting scope on a rifle ...

Comments are funny. Guess some didn't realize todays date.

I don't mind dressing out animals, I just hate the smell sometimes. Some recommend the gloves to avoid coming in contact with CWD. Personally, this year I was glad I wasn't wearing gloves. It was minus 15 when I got my elk and those innards kept my hands warm!

Hey Six, I have a 12 year old Shepherd that is starting to limp a lot after walks. She's a sweetheart and always wants to go with my 3 year old mini Aussie. But after a long walk she limps for a couple days. I tried some joint pain medication but it doesn't seem to work. Can you PM me the brand of o...

With no end-of-the-world scenario or zombies or anything like that, my Tikka 30-06 and one of my S&W .44 mag 4". Those are the ones that I use most when I hunt so I would have to keep those.
