Timing is everything. Today at the weekly "Tioga Militia" Meeting a fellow over age 60 member showed up with a Colt M1917 revolver. He got it free from a relative last year and he wanted something in the semi-auto rifle line. He now has an SKS, with accoutrements and some ammo, and I have a Colt.

Interestingly, the Colt will fire .45 ACP ammo without the halfmoon clips because there is a shoulder inside the cylinder chambers. Halfmoons make for quicker reloads in a hot corner.

Oh, well the next meeting is next Thursday at Cooper's.
