My only hope is that if I ever have cause to confront a ne’er-do-well with a firearm that he’ll be polite enough to give me time to load up my original 1860 Colt. She still shoots mighty fine. I want to take care of business in style if business needs taken care of. If it gets more serious, I have my 1860 Spencer 56-56 with 6 pre-loaded tubes of 7 cartridges in my Blakesley’s Box. That’s firepower! 350 grains at ~1,100 FPS.
Anyone can blast away with an AR, Ak, L1A1, HK91, HK93, UZI,
Desert Eagle .5-0-—all of which I own, but at my age I’d much rather confront evil with some real verve.
Never owned. Never shot. But just reading this thread, you guys are a hoot!
