Wife bought me the knife right after I bought the cannon back in '03.

nice set .... the revolver has to be really something to hang onto when you pull trigger ..

Thanks Jim!
Yes, if I remember, it IS really something to hold onto. Have not shot it since about '05. Afraid it will break my wrist now!

Slow motion at 1:53. I've never shot one and don't think I ever want to.

there was a time (which has long passed) when I'd of thoroughly enjoyed firing such a revolver .... the only revolver I have owned and used since the late 60's is a 44 Mag .... as mentioned before in other threads arthritic joints have brought me to the point that I have developed a load with a very mild recoil .... the day has gone that I want to fire any more full power hunting loads which have served so well for for decades

Yes, same here. Have thought about selling it, but, unless I have to for financial reasons, it will live in the safe.
It is at least a conversation piece.

A little bygone and a little modern..

Very nice collection indeed!

A really pretty knife, and a really well used worn old knife are each a beautiful thing to see
