Bad day for Diamond Jack !
Well I thought it might be a rowdy day being a Friday at the Bulls Eye Saloon so here's the story....
I shooting the steel and a new face comes out of the saloon...a fancy dressed dude with a shiny 45 and goes by the name Diamond Jack!
He challenges me to a beer bottle shoot and him being the new guy I let him shoot first. 3 shots fired and two bottles down.
I carefully aim and one shot of .45 Colt and middle bottle starts to fall but then the other two fall as well!
Diamond Jack not too happy and claims only one bottle down....I say three and the crowd yells three! Ol' Jack not satisfied and pulls up the shiny 45.
I see his thumb start to pull the hammer but I get off 4 quick shots....Diamond Jack is no more and gone with four!
Now which one of my six shooters took out the beer bottles and which one took out Diamond Jack?
The answers here https://youtu.be/AB4T6RfszJo
Had a great time shooting these two .45 Colt revolvers and both did well. Both barrels were clean after a while of shooting especially the Remington with a very clean barrel shooting those soft lead Speer 230 gr. bullets with 5.5 Red Dot. There is a lubricant blend in the lead of those so says Speer and they shoot well too.
Hope you can enjoy a weekend at a range too!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Bad day for Diamond Jack !
You have a very nice range set up. Enjoyed the report. I may just end up with one of those Remington repros.

Nice job Forty. I don't think Diamond Jack will be giving you a hard time anymore.
