Along the way, I acquired a Colt SAA sleeved to .22.

I had a very similar rig Steve, plus a drug store cowboy outfit. Got 'em when I woke up Christmas morning in the hospital after an appendectomy when I was seven. Later on, I had a single Matel rig with a very, very nice fast draw holster. Now I have the real pistol, but no fast draw rig for it. It's a Ruger Vaquerro in .45 Long Colt. I think the lack of a fast draw rig might be a good thing at this age. ::)


You must have been the varmit up on the ridge that I chased for miles and couldn't get a clear shot at!

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

As long as none of you did the "Office Draw Special." Two officers were playing quick draw when one actually pulled the trigger and the other shot back.
That event supposedly took place closer to your neighborhood, patchz; you may know more about it than I, howbeit, 'twas very many moons ago.

Not familiar with that one. But I knew one that was working the desk and dry firing to practice his trigger control. He was interrupted by a phone call and 'other' work. When things calmed down he forgot that he had reloaded and put a hole in the center of the window where the citizens walked up to file a complaint. Another one was showing someone how fast he could draw and had an accidental discharge which destroyed the pocket knife in his pocket. It did deflect the bullet though and saved him a painful leg injury. Neither of them were the type I spent time with outside of duty.
Stupidity is totally unaware of geographical boundaries. ::)
