I considered avoiding this thread due to so many comments about girls’ stuff and store-bought pieces. An owner-customized Blackhawk-Bisley in .45 Colt and homebrewed bear loads for that is about as manly a firearms pursuit as a man can have. ...along with custom .45-70s, .45-90s, and the like.

...includes technical knowledge, metalwork by hand, reloads by hand, bullet casting, recoil control and development of extreme speed and accuracy (after 2,000 loads or so in less than a couple of years, of course, for those who have the spatial-visual coordination to get there at all).

But you know, manliness was once the norm.

True. Who was the first metrosexual? It wasn’t Liberace because he was just plain flamingly gay. Who was the guy who cursed the USA with metrosexuality?

parsy, who is wondering
