I’ll just have to get you to show me how.

Are you goofy? I was referring to Mattie's line in the movie when her pistol misfired due to John Wayne loading it wrong. Some people are so frickin defensive they can't recognize a little kidding when they hear, or read, it.

BTW, I can, and do, know how to load any cap and ball revolver, including a Colt Dragoon, but would hesitate to load one when in a state of Rooster Cogburn type of drunkenness.

I’ll just have to get you to show me how was the next line in the movie. I was quoting it.

Powder first, then the balls. Caps last. :-)

Hey no worries calex59, TrueGrit fans knew what you ment (posted).

Golly, you have a Colt Dragoon? Cool.

Hey calex59, what did Rooster call his bed? Hint: Early in the movie with Mattie.
