Atlanta Burning

Alf... I think it is about time you give up that shooting thing-a-ma-jig that goes round and round for something designed in the last century, if not this one...

Come on Les,  Wheel Guns are Real Guns.   A couple of thoughts:

I don't know of any truly really new designs this century.
You know that scene from Quigglly Down Under.... "Never said I didn't know how.." 
How's this for .44 mag at 100 yds standing?   (Use to shoot standing IHMSA.)

Ok, I have a question about this "Juneteenth". I am 52 years old and I don't remember anything about until this year.

June 19, 1865 is the day slaves were truly freed!  The Emancipation Proclamation only managed about 50k.

It's had it's ups and downs since 1865, always a predominately Black  celebration...but fell from "tradition" as Black  children started attending public schools.

Here is a link if interested

It's a Texas thing, because it wasn't till June 1865 that the word reach southern Texas.

I’ve never heard if it until this year either. And whatever happened to Kwanza?  I haven’t heard it mentioned in several years.

Alf, Chiappa Rhino , and Ruger LCR are unique.
But mostly you are correct The last change in revolvers was when they settled on left hand swing out cylinders .
 
BAC, The truth is that Juneteenth, and the Emancipation Proclamation are both BS .
Blacks think there's something special about living somewhere it took2 months to hear the war was over. The Proclamation was just a PR stunt that freed exactly no one. Read it. It only applied to the Confederate states who didn't give a crap what Lincoln said. The truth is that Maryland had legal slavery until the 13th, and 14th amendments went into effect  December 1865 well after the end of the war.

As for Kwanza, to much knowledge that it's "founder" was a murdering scumbag for it to catch on.

Alf... nice shooting at 100yd....I started my shooting hobby in IHMSA...got one leg into  International Standing in big bore (cast bullets) and rimfire before started IPSC (pre USPSA)....a friend and I necked down a 30-30 to 7mm with a 45 degree shoulder (Clymer made the reamer and Redding the dies).... the 7 rimmed international came out about 3 months later as an Elgin Gates design... Mick shot a couple of 40x with a T/C, .... for standing I shot a Merrill in .357mag and a High Standard Citation ....of course that was with 33 year old eyes
