“Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight” proved to be true for a Levy County man

BRONSON, Fla. (WCJB) – The saying “don’t bring a knife to a gun fight” proved to be true in Levy County

According to sheriff’s deputies, they found 34-year-old Jeffrey Gregg with a gunshot wound to the abdomen on NE 136th Ave east of Bronson.

Witnesses said Gregg got into an argument with neighbors earlier Thursday, making threats and firing warning shots from his gun into the air.

He later returned to his neighbors property with two knives.

Ah, eastern time vs mountain time.
Got it. Two hours difference.

I think I am getting slower.

I thought Infantry was only allowed Zulu time.

Taking 2 knives to a gunz fight just means the perp is twice as stoopid…and will get you shot twice as fast. “…illegal drugs may have been involved…” Ya think?

S&W 686…Classic Beauty, Light Artillery Hand Cannons…*sigh*

“S&W 686…Classic Beauty”

I have a 681 (fixed rear sight). Former SP sidearm.
It is indeed a beauty and ultra reliable to go bang.
It was not lost in a boating accident and I can
“present” it as needed when required.

Model 65. 3″ round butt, Hogue boot grips, SS, shoots to point of aim. Now that is a dream carry gun.

If one has a photo of a peacekeeping device on their computer, how does one transmit said photo tp the person for use in the FG section?

If/when this gunz & ammo debacle ever dies down, I’d like to get a few revolvers.
Starting with one or two Rugers that shoot 38/357, with a separate cylinder for 9mm.
Then look at a S&W 38/357.
And somewhere in there, a SAA copy for 45LC.
But, so far, all is dream and fantasy.

Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt, fun gun.

If you like your Cowboy toys a bit more modern, the very similar Blackhawk has adjustable sights, and can be had with cylinders for .45 Colt and .45ACP.

Ruger also makes both in .38/.357.

I shoot two Ruger old style three screw Blackhawks in .357 for cowboy action shooting. They are the most accurate pistols I own. One has the factory brass trigger guard/blackstrap.

If one has a Colt SAA in .45 Colt, it is quite easy to fit a Colt .45 ACP cylinder to the pistol. Mine only required a little fitting of the cylinder bushing.

I have a G1 Contender barrel in .45 ACP.
It is a very tight fit and needs some smith work.
But the real problem with it is I cannot find a
foregrip to match the screw lug on the barrel.
It’s a genuine Thompson barrel so I am perplexed,
along with everyone else that has looked at it.
I would love to shoot it and may have to whittle
me a foregrip.

S&W made a U.S. Treasury comemorative Model 686 in 1989 with wooden case with Treasury Bureau seals engraved on the box. A beautiful gun; only 631 were produced for Treasury Agents.
