Is this one Colt worthy? Mouse helped me do the trigger job on it and I never heard the end of it about that gold bushing...

Yes it is!!!! Beautiful pistol.

I tortured Tim for years with Colt trigger jobs out of Hartford. He would drop the hammer a few times on one of my Gold Cups, or 38 special Gold Cups and it would make him mumble to himself.
I once handed him my Python and asked hey, can you clean this up a bit.
Its got a custom shop paper trigger job, his response after fingering it was,
F U.

It is a 1969 vintage Trooper 357. Also known as a python for poors as it has the same internals as a python but was not hand fit. Very accurate revolver and fun to shoot!

I remember when all we had to worry about was the Russian nuking us while at school. We were trained to duck and cover. I am sure we would have been fine had they attacked....I was at the very tail end of such events. By the time I had reached middle school, these drills had been re-named to "tornado drills".

Once MindfulMind was on the job, it didn't take long for the Russians to give up.

Where I grew up we were a main target for the USSR. We manufactured Nuke warheads among other things. Look up Y-12, K-25 and X-10....

It’s pretty difficult considering social media is considered to be protected under the first amendment, even though much of social media is harmful or at least in need of moderation. Pretty difficult when someone like Elon is in the pockets of a lot of these politicians, and owns one of the largest and influential social media platforms. The amount of horrible things festering on there that he more or less endorses via complacency in the name of free speech is mind boggling.

On the flip side, adults (I get that kids are a different story) should be able to filter the nonsense.

I'd rather have freedom of speech (yes, I know that these social media sites are essentially private venues) and be able to know who the stupid people are because they let everyone know it.

I agree, but the only problem with that is loud, outspoken idiots spewing dangerous and/or false rhetorics that cause real life harm that ends up negatively effecting a large community simply due to loud opinions and/or ignorance. Goes for both the left and the right.

Those are my final public thoughts, back to our regularly scheduled cz’ing!

Did this morning!

Are the guts really the same? Timing, hands and all of that.
I've never heard that before.

It's not the speech that everyone agrees with or "likes" that needs protected.

From what I have read, yes.

Colt Trooper .357 Review: Plain-Jane Python — Hipster Tactical ™

Mechanically identical to the Python, the Colt Trooper .357 of the 1960s replicates the form, feel and function of its more finely finished sibling—at a less finely finished price.
