The Big Texas Shoot!!

[TexasCowboy]

I'm sure sorry about everybody's broken fingers.
Strange they all broke at once...........

[Shooter 2.5]

Yeah, I'm upset that this is the second one I'm missing. This is getting ridiculous. It's not like I have to take time off of work or something.

I'm looking for a decent picture of the weird piece of iron to post. Bear with me for a few more minutes.

Tom, look out for your mailbox to have a brown mailer in it! Some folks have already gotten their books.

[Mulder]

Thanks for the ping.

I wish I didn't live 18 hours away.

Ummmmm..............

If you left Friday at 6:00am you would be right on time!!!

If you went by air you would have to leave for the airport on Tuesday!!!

Couple of too dark pictures of some stuff I wanted to bring. The compass and the sewing kit are original. The 9MM broomhandle was factory refinished. Yeah, I know, the grips are missing the Red Nine.

Mighty damn tempting.... Although I'd have a hard time trying to drive and read Travis McGee's book at the same time (it should be here anyday, and I'm going to have a hard time putting it down once I start reading, based on the excerpts).

If you went by air you would have to leave for the airport on Tuesday!!!

LOL! Not to mention the fact that airline "security" would probably hassle me about bringing Marianne, Missy, Becky, and Stephanie along ;-)

Directions:

~ Where We Are ~
We are located in West Bexar County, at 2715 Grosenbacher Rd.

From San Antonio, take US-90 West to the city limits sign (1.5 miles west of Loop 1604). Turn right on Grosenbacher Rd., and go 1.8 miles. We are on the left - look for our sign.

Map and directions are at: http://www.bullethole.com/htdocs/index.htm

Just click on Map

I will skip the gun show to be able to be there. I dern near spit as far as the place is from where I'm sitting right now...well, almost.

[Eaker]

We sure look forward to meeting you!!!!

I didn't post our limits.

We allow anything just short of nuclear!!!

For nuclear we have to use a different range!

[RikaStrom]

Oh look, there's SHADE! I like this place!

T5, here's the info I was telling you about.

[RikaStrom]

Awww, you sweet talker you, anything for you. ;-)

I'll send them an email tonight.

How do you like that Mateba .357?

[Shooter 2.5]

It's weird.

The good thing is it shoots at the six o'clock position so muzzle flip is nil. The action is so short because it only has to move enough to move the cylinder instead of a cartridge. It can't be seen even from a spectator.

The bad thing is the ejector rod is flimsy and stiff. I can't reload fast. I think it's bent. It's also very difficult to take apart.

It's beautiful and the pictures really don't give it justice.

[The KG9 Kid]

It looked like a neat gun, and I've heard decent things about them. I guess it's the way that Italian shooters who can't own semi-auto handguns or military ammunition can have a semi-revolver in .357.

Like all Italian things, it does look attractive.

CedarChopper wants to know should he bring official Boy Scots of America dutch oven pineapple upside down cake?

I told him that y'all would hurt him if he didn't. LOL

[TexasCowboy]

You told him right!
We'd use him for a target on the twenty-five yard line.........with the .50 caliber!

[RikaStrom]

LOL, nice to know I was right! :-)

They've got a nice website, were those your pictures that Eaker posted?

[Shooter 2.5]

If you're interested, I bought it from CDNN for, I think, 685 dollars.

That may seem like a lot but it's like buying a Webley-Fosbery that's much more attractive.

Oddly enough, it was a thread on FR about a pastor who had a supposed semi-revolver that peaked my interest. I couldn't resist.

[The KG9 Kid]

What I didn't like was the price. ;)
