We have had some interest about going to Whittakers . The drive is about 40 minutes

and he has 4000 guns in stock . What do you think

Sounds like a paln, Stan! OOOOOOOOPS, I mean Rowdy!

Deadeye Don · March 24, 2008, 06:36:51 AM

Is that in Kentucky?

Sounds like a trip for maybe........ Tuesday

Is Crescent City Sutler in town for the shoot, or maybe have a tent at the nationals?

A trip to Whittaker's is great. Yes it's in Kentucky, just outside of Owensboro. Boy does he have the guns. I love going there and just looking around. Celeste Mullins, hope your reading this. You're going to Whittakers. TJ

TJ,
Should be lots of guns to examine up close and personal. Ima Sureshot.

Ima Sure Shot, we don't want to tell anyone. Whittaker has a Navy Arms 44 Russian used. Don't think it's been shot very much, looks new. Don't let French Jack know, ok. TJ

TJ-- after the piece of junk called a Beretta Laramie that I recently invested in, I have no appetite for any more Italian guns. I'll stick to my good old S&W Schofields.

Isn't that the same gun that Irish Dave bought and LOVES?

Dr. Bob · March 25, 2008, 07:23:54 PM

That would be the same revolver! I have one too and like it a lot so far.

Tjackstephens · March 25, 2008, 08:09:26 PM

French Jack, Sure sorry to hear of your not so good luck with your Laramie. But if I had Smith and Wesson Schofields, I'd stick with too. TJ

So I am to assume that Whittakers is a gun shop

We won't be there until Wednesday so would miss a Tuesday trip. It might make a nice afternoon or evening trip.

Don't believe the gun shop trip will be Tue. That was just a possibility but has since been changed.
Maybe Wed would work.

French Jack · March 26, 2008, 04:00:47 AM

DD, yep, that's the one. I got a lemon. Glad not all of us got a lemon. For what they charge, it's not acceptable.

Irish Dave · March 26, 2008, 12:42:39 PM

FJ:

Just curious. What kind of problems are you having with your Laramie? I have a pair and find them both of high quality and functionality so far.

I will acknowledge that their hammer block "safety" doesn't work ... well, no, actually it works too well -- that is, preventing the arm from firing at all ... period... under any circumstances. But I have heard that simple removal of that attorney-inspired malfunctioning device has -- in nearly every case -- fully corrected that problem.

Dusty Tagalon · March 28, 2008, 06:06:34 PM

Dave;

Thanks for the tip. My 38 shot fine all the time, my 45 was frustrating. Problem solved.

Dusty

Irish Dave · March 29, 2008, 09:45:22 AM

De nada.

Yes , Whittaker's is a Gun Shop , about 4000 guns in stock . I was there a few weeks ago and he had a couple rolling blocks in 7mm Mauser .He has a large selection of Cowboy Guns .
