    Salt Shot?

    If someone is engaging in an activity that justifies them being shot, send the best, 00 buckshot. Desiring to shoot someone "just a little" is foolish.

    Speed Loaders

    I've used both the Safariland Comp II and HKS. Prefer the Safariland.

    What you carry isn't the entire story

    The "shall not be infringed" can be carried to a rediculous level. Should convicted criminals in prison possess and carry firearms? After all, some hang their hats on that phrase to the exclusion of any other consideration.

    Super Blackhawk hammer.

    Dang it! I clicked the "notify me when in stock" button two months ago. No notification received. I'll try again. Congratulations on getting yours though.

    One deer short of 0.1%

    Are you sure about the 8599 count for all of Missouri? During a weekend youth hunt in Arkansas hunters ages 6 to 15 checked 9,153 deer, according to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's online harvest totals. The youth hunt usually accounts for about 10% of our annual harvest.

    Lipsey's BH .45 Convertible?

    Lipsey's is listing a blued 5 1/2" 45 Colt/ACP flattop at $1109 so I would say your price is in the ballpark. https://www.lipseys.com/itemdetail?itemno=RUNVB-455X

    Group sizes at 100 yards

    Part of the problem is that people often judge others by their own limited abilities. In times past I was a good but not great shooter. And while I sometimes see claims that I doubt, I have been around enough great shooters that I know there are people capable of incredible feats of marksmanship.

    10/22 barrels

    Lipsey's had a model RUK1022-R22 (stainless 22" tapered barrel) and Walmart had a 22" stainless tapered barrel. I don't know if it was the same gun or not.

    New to me BH .45 Colt Conversation.

    I really like my .45 flattop convertible though I've never fired a round of ACP ammo in it. I've used the Colt cylinder exclusively. The throts were a bit undersized but that was easily resolved.

    Dangerous territory

    It's a pity that they didn't place you in command of the search. Probably would have found him within 2-3 hours.

    Story - Had to reach for my piece on a guy - first time

    You weren't aware of someone running up behind you until he yelled out to you? Good thing it wasn't someone with evil intent, they don't tend to give warnings. You need to increase your situational awareness
