Many actors used to train so they would look good on a horse. That’s because there used to be a lot of people who actually worked on a horse and knew the difference. Burt Lancaster showed how to use a Sharps in “Valdez is Coming” Tom Selleck did a great job in “Quigley Down Under.” But the actors di...

Scott Tschirhart

An interesting story with some unusual stars.

But it kills me that they didn’t teach the actors how to actually use a Sharps rifle!

But the takeaway lesson is to count your bullets!

Scott Tschirhart

It does not but the ones I have handled shot to the sights.

Scott Tschirhart

Good move. I think the more people who enjoy their God-given rights the more difficult it will be for the lefties to try to take it away.

Scott Tschirhart

I was in another shop yesterday and they told me that they had a three day approval on a suppressor.

So suppressors are moving off the shelves much faster now and it is encouraging more people to purchase them.

I doubt if very many people know who Thell Reed is, Scott.

You may be right Jim. But I know.

Scott Tschirhart

I feel bad for Thell Reed. No father wants to have to go through this.

I don’t know if she deserves to be found guilty. I’m not on the jury and I didn’t hear the evidence.

But I feel bad for Thell.

Scott Tschirhart

Hate to hear this.

Scott Tschirhart

Dang! That photo is awesome!!!!

Congratulations!

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t even understand why suppressors are regulated in the United States

Scott, when you submitted electronically, did you go through a kiosk like the Silencer Shop ones?

Yes, I used a Silencer Shop Kiosk.

Scott Tschirhart

I did my submission all electronically. Went well.

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, what are you going to use as a host? What is your intended use. Just curious as to what others use theirs for. Thanks, Paul Paul, I own a number of suppressors. This particular one will be used on a little bolt action.300 Blackout. I reckon I’ll shoot whatever from hogs to deer to varmints w...

Scott Tschirhart

Yes, I was surprised. But I submitted on February 14 and was approved on February 28.

Trusts are taking much longer than individual applications.

Scott Tschirhart

Forcing you to buy insurance in order to exercise your Constitutional rights sounds as illegal as a poll tax to me.

Scott Tschirhart

Now might be the time.

My approval came back in 14 days. I have heard of applications being approved in four days.

Scott Tschirhart

Yes . Took the photos yesterday afternoon.

Scott Tschirhart

I suspect that some Blackhawks are accidentally more accurate than others regardless of the chambering.

Scott Tschirhart

And a pretty lady.

Scott Tschirhart

I use them interchangeably in my revolvers and leverguns. No issues.

Scott Tschirhart

Come to think of it, I haven’t been to a gun show since the onset of Covid.

They have one here in SA this weekend but I just don’t know if I have that much interest

Scott Tschirhart

I had an early Kimber that was reliable and accurate.

But the ones I have tried in recent years have been a mix. Shame too because Kimber really takes the sharp edges off. I sure like that.

Scott Tschirhart

It shot even better after running some rounds through it.

The terrible thing is I shoot this little gun better than I shoot the FA 97

Scott Tschirhart

First six .357 Magnum

Scott Tschirhart

First six .38 Special

Scott Tschirhart

The old guns are sometimes better.

JimT wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 10:25 pm The majority of the time, the one I spent the most time shooting became the most accurate one.

That’s probably right. Some guns are dimensionally better than others but I don’t know if I can detect a trend.

Scott Tschirhart

That scares the heck out of me!!!

I’ll put them on the gun to celebrate Texas Independence Day today!

Scott Tschirhart

That’s a long walk! Fantastic story though. We won’t get up to help a neighbor these days and those men walked to war!

That shows a greater quality of man if you ask me.

Scott Tschirhart

Happy Texas Independence Day everyone (even if you aren’t from Texas!).

I’m a proud Son of the Texas Republic.

Exactly my experience.

Scott Tschirhart

That’s right, pre-27. I had a Registered Magnum in my hand today as well. This gun looks to be unfired.

Scott Tschirhart

I believe this one is from 1956 and if I were smarter I would have carried one of these my entire law enforcement careeer. Almost as fast in the hand as a SAA but it’s a better gun for a cop

Scott Tschirhart

Nothing better in a double action revolver.

I would have pulled my Leatherman out and told him, “I’m gonna cut a trap door on the back of your pants and we is gonna have fun!—006

I’d hate to scare the poor kid!

Scott Tschirhart

Out of the box, I don’t really know. .44 and.41 probably have better chamber dimensions as I have always opened chamber throats on a .45 before it shot like it should.

Scott Tschirhart

5:18-5:24. That’s an M16 he just has it tilted somewhat.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks for the report.

Billy Dixon’s resting place and my .50 buffalo rifle.

That would be a shame. But it’s been dry and very windy.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice! I’m so glad you got to enjoy this!

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a cold and dreary day, by Texas standards, so I donned my Carhart barn jacket and felt hat and went down to vote. A young man was standing at the 100 foot mark and he had a black felt hat on too. He was electioneering and asked whether I was voting in the Republican primary. I said that I was a...

Scott Tschirhart

Probably a lot!!!!

Scott Tschirhart

Whatever the source, I don’t like it because people are not behaving in a civilized fashion that we have come to expect in our society. We are seeing more and more of this in urban crime but that’s only the most obvious. It’s much deeper and more widespread.

Scott Tschirhart

I was tasked with introducing one of my law partners to one of the lawmen in my personal circle yesterday. So I strapped on an old and trusted friend of many years.

A bit heavier than I tend to carry daily but still felt right on my hip.

Scott Tschirhart

Imagine what a shocking event it was for Smith & Wesson and Remington to release a sixgun and cartridge rated for a 158 gr bullet at 1500 fps! Of course the 7.63 Mauser clocked 1450 fps, but it was mighty uncommon here and was only available in a FMJ military style loading. The .357 was a major ...

Scott Tschirhart

I used a 357 carbine for most hunting for a few years due to some physical restrictions at the time. I was loading down 158 grain bullets to 1300-1400fps , technically still revolver power and took all size hogs. Killed a few smaller ones broadside with the 125grain remington UMC 38+P factory round...

A carbine really makes the .357 turn on!
