out of curiosity, has anyone ever fired one of smith & wesson's feather weight .357 or .44's?? i've looked at them at the gun shows and just can't bring myself to buy something that seems as if it would snap my wrist like a tooth pick......

My friend's wife carries a featherweight taurus 357. I think it might be titanium or some variant alloy and she loves it. Debbie is pretty sturdy though, might hurt wimps like us.

I'm too busy and unskilled to meticulously craft something realistic

I just found this quote over at Fark. I think it's great.

"The sickness of the twentieth century has been cowardice -- the cowardice of millions allowing themselves to be liquidated by Communists and Nazis without hitting back. If every victim had done all he could to take one murderer with him, history might have been different. Anger is the only cure for cowardice--anger strong enough to overcome fear. Right now people are afraid to get angry."

[sarcasm] It seems logical that a drunken sex maniac from Texas would be capable of deciphering something rational from that obviously absurd statement.[/sarcasm]

:) when you say that!

Contrary to popular belief, there are occasions when I do shoot something besides my wad.

From the sixth floor? :)

No, to the sixth ceiling, chump.

( hesitantly impressed )

slang, i think i just might have to try a featherweight out now:)

damn, i'm down and out for a few days and NBN has turned into a "drunken sex maniac?!?!? [sarcasm] what the hell is wrong with this world??!!:eek:

OK it's not mine... But it's a real good weapon. Had some nice shooting with it. Better than the 5.56 Nato FNC I have to use over here in Belgium

So YOU let the dog out.:haha:

[sarcasm] I hope you weren't standing on President Bush's oil in that pic, Pi. [/sarcasm]

Ermmm... we're still allies! http://www.okay.lu/forum/smilies/nee-fragezeichen.gif

('t was in the desert of Morokko, near Ouarzazate, where they shot The Gladiator, Diamond of the Nile, Lawrence of Arabia (with Peter O'Toole) and I think also parts of Black Hawk Down)

Ask yourself one question.
 

Do you feel lucky?!?!?!?

Ruger Blackhawk .44 Magnum. Yes that is a hollowpoint you see. Just took it out of the bedside table.

Some of my pistols. From top to bottom.

Colt SAA Nickle plated .38-40

Colt SAA Bisley (target model) .38-40

Ruger Blackhawk .44 Magnum with hand carved grips

Colt SAA .38-40

The first two colts are pre-smokeless powder (around 1897 production dates)

The last Colt just missed blackpowder shells by a few years.

Maybe I'll put some more of my guns on here tommorow.
