Watch this – and DON’T Laugh. Keep a straight face and don’t even smile… You can’t do it.
This was brought to us at the WTA Gathering by Marshal Dodge. We laughed our asses off. Just hilarious. And it’s been stuck in our heads all weekend. Thanks Marshal.
Let me say this again… I was interested in getting a Chiappa Rhino revolver with the 4″ barrel.
But not anymore. They really turned me off. Its not that I care a wit about the RFID scare or if it’s a concern or not… that’s not the point. The tone they took on the issue is insulting to anyone that has a concern. It’s much like those that questioned the President’s birth certificate and just calling them “Birthers”. Slinging an insult instead of addressing a legitimate concern. I’ll have to pass on a new Chiappa. This is too bad… because it’s a rather neat gun. But I can live without it.
Maybe a used one… eventually. But I wouldn’t give them any of my money now.
I’m getting ready to ride. I found some .45ACP and I can fit it in my saddle bags… I can’t bring much gun stuff on a bike, but the shooting is the least important thing for me. Funny that I should say that, no? I’ll bring what I can.
Saturday, at the Provo Range, the one up Squaw Peak in Provo Canyon, we’re having our Gathering. If you can, show up. We’ll be there in the morning, then take a break from noon till 4, then we’ll be back shooting unless something else really cool pops up and we change plans. You never know… so you best come out in the morning!
I’m looking forward to this a great deal. I can’t say how much.
Owning another .44 Magnum means one thing is for certain. I am now officially back into reloading.
I’ll need to acquire all the hardware and components of course… but yeah… I’m a Reloader again. I can get an Omega 800 press for 23 bucks. A set of dies for 30 bucks. And that’s off to a pretty good start. Biggest thing though, is all the brass. And making sure I pick up brass.
Anyone want to trade .44 Mag brass for .308 brass?
I’ve had many questions about why I picked the Rossi M92 over other rifles such as the Legacy Puma, the Marlin options, or Henry, or Uberti… etc. My selection of the Rossi example is by no means disparaging the others. They are all quite good Arms and if you have one, then it’s going to serve you well. Before I made my choice, I studied the Level Action platform very carefully, to include going through history books and talking to old cowboys (we still actually have those around here) and talking to new cowboys – The Cowboy Action Shooters. (We have a lot more of those around here) What I didn’t do was search internet gun forums past 3 minutes… because most of those were “Well, I use this so this is the best… no, I’ve not even seen any others, but this is the best because I have it.”
I selected the 92 design because of two things.
The printer came back ahead of schedule and the galley proof was perfect. This means it’s now possible to order an advance copy. It won’t be available on Amazon.com for another 5 to 7 days. It will take 6 to 8 weeks to become fully distributed by wholesalers and bookstores.
Uprising USA is now available for the Kindle Reader!
Positive reviews would be very much appreciated.
Let me tell you, guys. I had a day from hell. Today just flat out sucked every which way… So I had to change the karma. Nothing works better than doing the New Gun Thing. .44 Mag is more money than .357 Mag, but I can reload pretty affordably. I like this gun. I’m happy with it. Hmm… the rest of the day sucked too… but every time some bullshit happened, I just thought, “I have a .44 Mag 92”, and that made me feel much better.
I have got to get a Sport Bike now. Reason, I have to distance myself from the Cruiser set. My thing about disliking Harleys is really more about disliking Harley Extreme Enthusiasts. I’ve had run in’s in the past with these brand new leather clad insurance brokers who just got their new HD’s with only 400 miles on the odometer – “Get a REAL bike!” Really? You mean your obnoxiously loud V-Twin that cranks out only 58 horse power because it’s engine technology is 20 years out of date… that’s a real bike. But my bike with it’s V-4 engine with a Carb for each piston and 4 valves for each piston and tuned for 90 horses with huge torque and a huge powerband to give me all that power whenever I want it… Yeah, fine. It’s not a real bike. You win. Even though with your anemic power output to pull your huge bulk which gives you at most half the power to weight ratio… you straddle a better machine, Sir.
“You’re not a Biker on that!” Really? Because I’ve not seen you riding all week. Because it’s been nasty weather… and then it was too hot… and you’ve been rolling in your Cage all summer except just today when you finally got the weather report you wanted and you just pulled on your Leather Vest to show off your Patch. Fine. You are a Real Biker. I’m not. I’ve only ridden my bike every single day… Sometimes arriving at work soggy… sometimes arriving at home sodden wet. But grinning. I’ve ridden in thunder storms, rain storms, wind storms, dust storms, snow, hail, through freezing cold, and blistering heat… every day. And you are going to tell me that I’m not a real biker. Cool. Because if you are a Real Biker, I don’t want anything to do with being a Biker. If it makes you feel better… I’ll call myself a Rider or a Motorcyclist. You, Sir, can be the Real Biker.
Yeah, I don’t want anything do with all that… I’m going to trade my Cruiser for Sport Bike. Ideally a Sport Touring bike. Because I don’t want anyone to even think about calling me a “Biker”.
This Magna is now on KSL for sale or trade. Now if I could trade this for a Honda VFR, I’d be well pleased.
I am dead set on making another tactical lever action rifle. I think I’ve mentioned before that I am going to use a Winchester 92 type platform and I’ve settled on the Rossi example of the breed. I’m thinking 16 inches on the barrel and a scout mount for a low set red dot.
This Caliber Conundrum has me flummoxed. .44 Mag or .357 Mag. I’ve been leaning to the .357 Magnum… However as of late, I am now leaning to the .44 Magnum. Ammunition for the .44 is more expensive, but handloading for it is easy enough. I think I’m going to do a .44 mag. Out of a 16″ barrel .44 tends to gain all it’s going to get and past that it seems to go down hill.
