Clean looking gun Todd. The upgrades aren't over the top, but do stand out and are functional. Just an all around nice looking Bisley. Great caliber too. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

Noy picking on greggt just a pet peeve andIt has always made me wonder why people have to point out the no glasses ear protection or when a gun is obviously empty and it's pointing at the camera or in a direction the person making the comments thinks is inappropriate. I did like the answer Brian Pearce used when he said he shooting pictures not guns.

I did like the answer Brian Pearce used when he said he shooting pictures not guns. I had this discussion with one of my editors recently, about my lack of shooting glasses and hearing protection in some photos. I too pointed out that they are just photos and real "action." I also pointed out that I wear neither when I hunt. But, they are the ones that get the complaint letters and e-mails..... |

I can understand the editors point of view. I do not understand the ones that write the letters. But what do I know recently I was told I was a wimp since I like to use unique in my .45 colt

You can run 270 grain slugs to 1,000 fps in the 45 Colt loading Unique. Nothing wimpy about that. I sure as hell wouldn't want to get hit by one. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |

I remember a couple of years ago a big gun magazine,I think American Handgunner,did an article on CASS,printed a picture of a competitor with cotton stuck in his ears and proceeded to rant about "proper" ear protection when shooting.
I bout laughed my butt off when in the next issue there was a VERY pointed and colorful "letter to the editor" from the guy in the picture. He took time from explaining his feelings towards them to point out there was a very expensive set of moulded plugs in his ears and he had attached the cotton to look more realistic for the time.

I am a stickler when it comes to eye and ear protection for me and my own, mostly because my kids are very dedicated musicians. That said, it's a miracle that we ever tamed the Wild West or put a man on the moon given today's nanny-statism! Thread hijack over, that is one gorgeous Bisley and your son looks thrilled to have it. Congrats!!
