Morning all. The coffee is fresh and hot, the air is chilly, and the dove season has officially started. So much for sleeping in, they were at it first crack of light. As many shots that were going off, you would think there were a ton of birds... but I'm betting there isn't more than a few birds, and a LOT of bad shots

This one was made in 1902. Works flawlessly and it's accurate. JMB was indeed a genius.
These pistols made semi autos a reallity. To the point that a browning became synonyme for pistol in early XXth century Europe.

ST, that looks plenty modern enough for me. I Like it!

Well, I've started my CAS persona by just pushing back my birthday year by a 100 years(1857), too young for the civil war but right on time for the Indian wars.

So now I'm in 1917.  

I get to see motorcars, motorcycles, airplanes and semi autos.  

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.

Slim i sent 2 replies, not sure you got them.

I got 'em.

Slim

The FN 1900 was only made in .32 acp.

Even motorcycles made by the same FN who made that pistol.

Raining hard here, Match was cancelled so I got to sleep in. Wife and daughter went to nycity for wife's birthday. She knows better than to ask me to go with them. Y'all have a good one.

[Delmonico]

Looks like it could start a war.

Morning all.

About being overcome with wildfire...  Yeah, we did.

7440 acres, 141 structures destroyed in 6 hours.  This started Wednesday and blocked my route home, so I've been stuck in my tower.  I got to come home Yesterday through a back road, but I spent most of the afternoon working with an engine delivering supplies into the fire area.  Along about eight miles of highway it's an absolute moonscape.  There was one place where a fellow had a bunch of old cars, and those are all puddles of melted metal now.  Nothing made it out of the fire.  The darn thing was moving at 40mph.  I know several people who lost their homes and everything on their properties.  It's not good.

So, there's my news for the week.

I've found .32 ACP brass is hard to find in grass. .25 ACP is even harder to find.

Here's some pictures of the fire.

Very true, and .22 is harder still. But, I find it, sometimes days later, sometimes years later... sometimes.

[Scattered Thumbs]

Slim

Every case is hard to find in grass.
Even .45 ACP cases. They seem to hide from me on purpose. They also have the nasty habit of laying upright with the mouth facing up becoming almost invisible in the grass.

Even though the .32 wasn't ejecting to the grass, I managed to loose one.

Tough. I had a fire near me last month. First time in my life I got evacuated from my home. There was no real danger. But I guess the officials overreacted because of that previous fire that had important loss of lives.

Slim

I know .380 is pretty hard to find. My LCP scatters it far and wide-I tried using an 8X10 tarp, but most of them missed it.

[litl rooster]

Try hanging the tarp like a curtin.  It will pile up on the ground below it. This has worked for me, a tarp or old sheet works best. Cardboard or wood will cause it to bounce.  Since i don't cast i have only reloaded 32 with 31cal balls. Both acp and 32 long. I may have some mixed .32 brass and dies i might be able round up to trade off.

Finding that brass is hard to find on crushed gravel too.


TK glad you are okay.. ya'll  are taking a back seat to Harvey. But we all are praying for snow out there.
