And I am thankful for that. Not only have they helped me have good times .. but along with them I have met some mighty fine people, including quite a few on this Forum.

I have reached a point in my life where I am not working at getting another sixgun or actively looking for one. I don't shoot enough with the ones I have!

BUT ...

There is a sixgun I really would like to have. Not because it is better or more powerful or more accurate. I would just like to have one "because" I would like to have one.

An old Colt Single Action in .41 Long Colt.

Yes. Obsolete. Ammo is hard to make and harder to get any accuracy with. Yes, funky dimensions. I still would like to have one.

And they are around.

I just am too tight to pay what they are going for anymore!
