Model 1877 Colt Lightning .38DA or Thunderer .41DA
Billy the Kid carried a Thunderer .41DA
Doc Holliday carried a .44-40SA Frontier Six Shooter (roll-engraved on left side of the barrel) and a .38DA Lightning
My sister says my circa 1879 .38DA Colt Lightning is her favorite
Did Billy, or Doc's little flag say 'bump', 'help', or 'bye bye amigo'??
Snicker..
Billy the Kid was born in Brooklyn, NY
He used to say "I'll make you famous"
He only killed about 8-9 men - legends grew then as now
Bat Masterson never killed many men at all - everyone would avoid him - he could kill a rabbit with his Colt .45 while on his horse
An amazing shot -
How do you manage to remember all that stuff?
"Islam may well be the most hideous??" You have to remember that Islam has to be one of the religions that teaches peace the most. The Quran ( if you've ever heard of it), is what the Muslims believe in, it teaches [Quran 5:87] ... and do not aggress; GOD dislikes the aggressors. [Quran 16:90] " GOD advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed."
This doesn't deserve the title of hideous. This is the truth about Islam and Islam and Islam's prophet Muhammad was one of the most peaceful men to walk the planet, and taught patience and kindness.
