Still ain't shabby 4450. If I don't get to the desert or the mountain range pretty soon, my trigger finger might fall off.
. Need to empty some brass! That 17HMR must be a hoot.

Makes you wonder how Roy Rogers and the boys could hit anything firing a wheel gun from the back of a galloping horse, don't it?

The Duke could do it with a revolver in each hand and the reins in his mouth.

Whatever works for you. Might get some strange looks at the local pay to play range tho. Don't forget the eye patch.
