Jimmy?

Can ya play that one like a trombone? I ran all it dry one afternoon doing that one day for my dad. I was clearing some vines off his back fence.

He thought he'd try it. I warned him to get a GOOD hold with his right hand or his thumb was gonna bleed.

It did.

He won't make that mistake again.

Mine looks pretty much the same as yours. I had a "Black Diamond" version, but it was stolen when I was in 'Nam. THe one I have now, I bought in a pawn shop for $100. It had a Cutts on it and was pretty much unused. Somebody had it apart and didn't get it back together right. The pawn shop guy didn't know and thought it was broke. I paid him, and stood in front of him and put it back together, jacked the slide, grinned and walked out. He called me a naughty name on the way out the door.

The bed side table. It's loaded with "full house" .45 Long Colt.


My old buddy.


It's helped get my tits out of the wringer on more than one occasion.

We've been together for a long time. Wife has instructions to bury it with me.

Don't fool yourself wullie,When you die your buddies will be on those guns like flys on Chit and the old lady will sell them off

Probably half of my collection is from the "Divorce Fire Sale" cousin to the "Estate Fire Sale".

As the Mexicans say, "No le hace." (it doesn't matter)

If she does that, it'll be her issue as I won't care one way or the other.
