John, I found the picture of the pistol that you came down to Branson to draw for the raffle. You guys put it on the cover of Shoot magazine and I believe it was in June, July of 2002. It was a 38-40. And 401 power mag. It certainly doesn't seem like it has been that many years ago, does it? One thing that I can say that we both have in common, that not everyone can say is that we have loving wives that have taken excellent care of us. David, I've always enjoyed a robust discussion. That's how we learn new things. Even some philosophy from time to time is a good thing, I believe. I would like to share an experience that I had at Murray State College back in 2000. We were talking about the mechanics of the pistols. And as John Taffin has said on several occasions, that revolvers are a law unto themselves. And I have a story to back that up. My classes consisted of two weeks of customizing Ruger single actions and would have approximately 20 students. For this particular class was online boring revolvers such as 357, taking them up to a larger caliber without having to invest in a custom cylinder. This is not always a preferred way of building a custom revolver, starting out with a new cylinder, but one with existing charge holes. I believe this has made a very good platform to build off. This particular class I started out with two 357 Ruger Blackhawks. I trued up the cylinders and fit to the frames. Then line boarded them to 44 special. The barrels that we had at that point I believe were either Douglas or Pack Nor, don't remember which. I cut an 8 “ piece off of a new blank. Then cut another 8 “piece off, right ahead of the other one. I turned them on centers with a lathe dog. Barrels were meticulously fit. I Taylor Throated and an 11° crown. With 20 students, I had around 1,500 .44 special cases from Starline. I allowed the students to pick their favorite load, and load about 75 each. With supervision, of course, some chose jacketed and some chose lead. We went to the range and mounted the pistol in a ransom rest. We set up two targets, one at 25 and one at 50 yards. Each student fired two groups at each distance with their favorite load. We put a wet towel on the barrel in between strings of fire. Soaked it down with ice water to keep it cool. After each got their shots in. We put gun #2 In the rest and completed the same procedure. When we finished, we went back into the classroom and laid out all the targets for comparison. I wished I would have kept the results, but I didn't. And I don't remember all of them, but out of the 20 there were approximately 3 that duplicated. The rest were off to some degree, some more than others, but this test did prove that the revolvers are a law unto themselves. Which was quite interesting to all the students. Good shooting Larry Crow
