Thread: first shave report, a big thanks, and a few questions

I walked into my friends gunshop today to ask him if he could order one for me. He had never had one in his shop before. I was at the shop just before he arrived and waited for him. As we walked into the store i began to ask about the gun and wouldn't you know it, he was carrying one in from his truck. He hadn't even signed it into the store yet!! I figured it was a message from God that this was my gun, and bought it on the spot.. taz/mike

I get so envious when you guys talk guns! I used to shoot 12 bore's (guage i believe over there). Handguns are completely illegal. The few nutters ruined it for responsible gun owners.

The politicians ruin it. The nutters just give them an excuse.

Well just dont confuse your gun and your razor...either you will cut yourself on your index finger or worse..

Welcome to the straight path!!

I found that shaving with my left hand is something I just got used to afters a couple of shaves so no real problem there.. It is important to make sure the soap on your face doesn't dry out. This happened a couple of times during my first shaves... because I was a bit slow on my right side, when I switched hands and got to my left side, the soap was dry and the razor didn't "glide" over my skin. That didn't really help my clumsiness of my left hand.

Well have fun!!!

I guess there's truth in that. Those who use the weapons in that manner should often not been granted the license in the first place, but mistakes happen.

Mine's not in as-issue condition though; been tightened and tuned. Lowered ejection port, throated and polished, skeleton trigger, target bushing, Bo-mar sights, full length guide rod, 5 lb. duty trigger job instead of match trigger as I used it on-duty, ambi safety, etc., etc. All on a series 80 Officer's Model (hey, it was a good deal...a series 70 wasn't available for the price at the time) with the work done by Bill Wilson in Arkansas.

Ok, so now you have to, have to, post a pic!!

O.K., but the quality of the photo is not near as good as the one you put up.

Leather is from El Paso Saddlery, or as some knew it the old S.D. Myers Co.

I just love how any thread on this forum can turn into a gun thread! GOD blass America! God help the rest of you get your fundamental human rights back!
