The other gal at work had her Saint Bernard puppy with her most of the day. Cisco seems downright delicate and graceful in comparison. ;-)
Right now he's all worked up not because of those bangs (guy across the street shooting again?) but because Gidget's barking. Some watch dog he is...
I think yours is cuter. ;-) But there is a resemblance.
Gidget's barking at the lady from the store because she stopped petting her.
Oh, that's dried paint on an old work bench. Those are Hobbit Hole knives waiting to be mailed in the background.
Heh...the nerve!
I see... ;~)
Evening Corin, that is a wonderful story, it must have been a very special moment for you and your family. Simply wonderful. OB & LSA
She's a mouthy broad...
I note one of the reviewers is "Evil Hobbit"...odd.
Mmmm...goody bag...
Evening Sam - hmmm, 'machete' or numorean dagger; 'flashlight' or a light for when all others fail; 'foxes' or orcs... hmmm.
Just where were you, Sam? Seems I recall hearing of something like this before..
Good catch Ecurbh, I may have to do it. I could use it for field ops, er, environmental work.
Good pictures, seems Jack's is a bit different than the Amazon's version, notice the rings on the carry strap? Still, seems to be a reasonable facsimile.
Very nice 'bob' you have there. Colt 1917, a fine old .45 double action revolver, S&W is making a similar one today. LSA's dad was issued a SW '17 when he was in WWII in a chemical warfare outfit. Several transfers later he ended up with a Thompson, wasn't able to make his way home with that one.
snarf trader! LOL!
Evening Rose, a sargent? way cool; thanks for the promotion..we'll be first in line at your autograph signing when the book is published. Quite honored to be included, thank you very much)
ACHHHHH.
"One Riot, One Ranger"
Nice save from a funkle. Thanks, OB
I've always liked the S&W M625, a tricked-out N-frame in stainless. I have my doubts about all the large Smiths in titanium and aluminum. The thought of firing a 18-ounce .44 Mag makes me wince, and kicks up my carpal tunnel.
My one wish in a revolver would be a 5-shot .45ACP snubbie on a Smith L-frame with a minimal grip. It would have to be in stainless, to give it enough mass so I didn't become gun-shy firing it.
My old shooting partner has a SW S/S Mountain Gun in .45LC; It's a fine shootin' iron. Pleasant to shoot and very well balanced. I like the pacs on it, he prefers reworking wood grips.
Ooh, wait...I'm really slow here...does that mean my stand-in gets to work for the Texas Rangers? ;-)
That could be interesting...especially if there are some interesting Rangers...
Hm...
