No pics (camera is out of film), but I love my Blackhawk Convertible. It's cool to be able to shoot cheap 9mm at $10 a pop. Since its a single action, there's no need for moon clips. Every now and then I splurge on some 357 magnums.

How in the world can you hang on to the birdshead grip when shooting the revolver. My two single action .45's a Ruger Blackhawk .45 ACP and .45 Colt and my Colt S.A.A..45 , both have bigger grips on them so my big mitts can hang on when they fire. Inquiring mind wants to know.

I shoot gunfighter class and that is 1 gun in each hand . The trick is the little finger it keep the gun from rocking in my hand .

I'd like to see a picture of that please.
I missed this along the way, Dave. Did you want to see a picture of the Stetson?Image

I walk past the STETSON hat factory everyday going to school in Philly and knew a few people who worked there too ....

That's an old hat, bought back around 1973.

Ok, Dave, just for you. But don't ask how many selfies I had to delete to get a decent photo. And I'm not crazy about this one, but I would hate to disappoint you :D :Image
