Today’s totals, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, stand at one in the chill chest, two enduring the tender mercies of Nurse Ratched (medication time!), and no reported leakers, dammit.

And just like the Trumpster we are still winning. 1/2/0 puts us at the payoff window.
Do believe I’d take the morgue slab over treatment from Nurse Ratched, better to go quick than to be lobotomized.
Nice hand cannon! fapfapfapfapfapfapfapfap I wheely wheely wheely like it.
Nothing sez “I loves my woman SO much” like stalking, breaking and entering her home.
1/2/0, well at least so far this week we don’t have many still out and about. 1. Well nurse Ratched gets the first of 2 on her table so she can use her soldering iron for 10 minutes to cauterize each wound, entry and exit (she loves to work on shot D/A’s), just never mind the screaming as she doesn’t use pain killers, has to be sure she does the job right. Yep D/A in Florida, lots of old geezers. but doesn’t matter as they all shoot there no matter what age. 2. Yep more screaming, this ought to be interesting as to outcome as who gets to be in custody. would be nice to have more details. 3. Mom’s are known to protect their youngin’s but we have learned often youngins also protect their mom. Broken window, prowling, stalking, told to leave, well now he is gone and will be no further bother. Sounds as justifiable, Tenn, hmmm, anyone got one of those mason jars with the clear liquid in it (just make sure it isn’t the same stuff D/A was drinking), we ought to have a round on this one. Well little red wagon is all shined up and ready to roll, waitin instructions. Better hurry, Mason jar is callin my name.
Actually saw a Dan Wesson with a NONinterchangeable barrel a while back. Never knew they made one.
David;
Was just going to ask if Dan Wesson still made changable barrels. One of the Brink’s shooting team members owned a Dan Wesson changable barrel .38 he bought out on Long Island NY years ago.
If only the idiot who posts these FGS thingys would embed a link somewhere near the pic that leads one to a site with all sorts of interesting facts about it.
If only…
*grin*
You can’t talk bad about the “Gentleman” that posts the FGS!
That’s mine and AnotherPat’s job! (grin)
Why would anyone walk up to a car with mace and a taser and not expect to get shot??
I like the caption and link naming the gun shown.
$2,000 for a .357 revolver!
I do need a six shooter for my collection.
My wife is usually very understanding, but I am certain she would veto that price!
Any suggestions for a more reasonably priced revolver for target shooting?
I have home defense and concealed carry covered with semi autos.
Very happy with my S&W 686, and my first .357 wheel gun was a Ruger Security Six. Both are about as reliable as a framing hammer. Taurus (pictured) also makes more reasonably priced six shooters.
Look around, spend some range time to see which one ‘fits.’
