Morning folks! ️

7.5 hours of sleep is what I get every night. I only sleep in on Sundays, but even then, I'm up at about 6:30

 

[Born2vette]

Morning all! Things to do and people to see today!

 

[Lee11b]

Good morning, all! I think we will be in the steam bath today weather wise.

Steam baths are good, depending on location….

My nephew plants just over 6000 acres.

150 hrs of tractor time. +loading and unloading, travel time, and repairs. That's a busy month.

I shoot for 9 and I'm satisfied if I get 7 restful hours. I need a better mattress in the truck.

Got the boat in yesterday….$242 dollars to fill it up… thanks to Let’s Go Brandon. At least that will make it most of the summer. It’s a floating bar for the most part. “You don’t like the view. We pull anchor.”

My new wheel gun is home too! No box, but came with a holster! Holster seems well made and its my size! A Sportsman, I googled briefly and found no info. I know this is a little modern for him (1968 manufacture date) but if @Leadeye knows anything would love to learn.

Just back from the range and it’s a shooter!

What a wonderful acquisition ... with a brilliant write up with lots of photos AND a range report.

This is also a wonderful acquisition ... with a picture of a plastic box ... and some shoes ...

It’s Home…

Compare and contrast.

My fellow Czickos, I submit that the former is how we should all be posting information for the rest to ogle over, while the latter is … well … this may sound harsh, but the latter is almost a waste of electrons.

We need to hold each other to a higher standard ... show us the firearm, not just the box!

Great revolver! Your holster and belt I can't help much with, although I find two holsters like it on Ebay with no marking other than Sportsman. The rig is what's known as a drop rig as opposed to a belt rig. It places the holster lower down than the belt.


The holster looks like a Hunter, which used the name Sportsman as one of their models, but you should find their distinctive trademark of a powder horn somewhere on it.

The rig looks to be in good condition and you will get a lot of years service out of it, best of luck with it and your new Colt.

Thanks LE, I will look for the powder horn!

He has more than one tractor and a few farmhands.

Here are some more pictures of the latest purchase. Some people have the time to be more in-depth at the moment. Between mowing 6 ac, installing a new window in a house and grand kids baseball games in one day that's all the time I had. Best way to be is not being a smart ***.

 

[drillsgt]

hey, I'm up late because it's WEEKEND .... that's what people do right ? Stay up late ?
My wife still goes to bed at 9 PM on Friday, because she's been up since 5 AM, and worked all week .... that's understandable.
But I like to be WILD .... so I think I'll stay up until 1 AM.

I was up late last night too with some libations, hanging out in the room with a buddy while he watched hockey. This older than me crusty SF tabbed 1SG came down to the room to visit and then chastised every beer I pulled out of my cooler like 'you're drinking Red Stripe on purpose' lol, then my Modelo, I was afraid to pull the Blue Moon Light out lol, but he had a big glass of scotch so he was probably a hater anyway.

Here is another waste of electrons.

Nice. Has all sorts of goodies with it.

Dumb question, what's the little toy gun for?

 

[Lee11b]

In the land of Carlos. New Haven Middle School Track Invitational. 16 teams, well ran event.

Must be a toy for the little boy in all of us that buy the real range toys.

 

[MindfulMan]

I think that it's intended for your keychain !

That happens to be a little tool kit with Torq bits and screws for mounting an optic. The bits go in the barrel end and you use the pistol as the driver. Optic will be here next week. Holosun Comp.

Oh ok. That's neat!

Several reviews I have watched have rated the Comp higher than the SRO… It is a large red dot.
