I have old people TV on my cable system and have been watching reruns of 70s cop and PI shows. And it has give me a new respect for an awesomely effective weapon: The snub nose .38 caliber revolver. Frank Cannon shot and exploded a Ford LTD with single round from his. Joe Mannix shot down a plane with his. Steve McGarrett is proficient with his too. None of these guys ever reloads. No need. I now am jonesing for a Colt Detective Special with the exposed ejector rod. And service grips. And I recently re-watched my all time favorite shot made by the Duke: In Rio Lobo, the Duke draws and X rings Johnny Crawford as Crawford is engaging him from a rock formation at least 75 yards away. Single un-aimed shot. From horseback. Amazing! Old people TV is a hoot. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | ||

Watch Quigley Down Under some time. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

Yeah, the recoil was so weak, their arms jerk forward when they shoot.  | |||

The movie, Open Range gets a lot of love here. See if you can count the number of rounds Costner's Colt has in the big shootout. At least 15, nah...more like 17 _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||
