Peggi's radiology results were excellent. She says thank you all, very much, for your thoughts and prayers. Your continued prayers are appreciated, She has a gift for taming things that can't be tamed, as I well know ;). Any 3 year girl old who breaks dinosaurs, is not to be trifled with.

Thanks Dave! (reply)

a Ruger .41 mag barrel. Any length will do but extra credit will be issued for a 4-5/8" length. Standard blue please. Extreme extra credit will be applied for an Old Model!

Thank you!

That a patch soaked with Kroil run through and left to sit really does a number on removing carbon fouling. It was a suggestion made to me by Bill Bagwell I believe when I first started my journey with the Sharps.

I really miss Harry and his writing. Here's what we've got on the site:

Thought we had the 41 article, but don't see it at first glance.

Even with kosher .41 brass I would try seating .40/10mm bullets backwards into the cases with the nose serving as the heel of the bullet. We use normal .45 colt bullets loaded backwards in the percussion horse colts replicas. Lighter weight .45 acp bullets work in the belt colts but the nose crunches down into the powder.

Once upon a time...... (reply)

In Ray's alternate universe where the sky is green and the grass is blue.....

We once had a Cimarron .41 colt. It was not marked that I could ken as to manufacturer unless the stamping was under the ejector rod housing. Assuming one of the two normal guappo suspects (p. or u.).

I could not find any brass so I used the old substitute .38 S&W (not special). With the cylinder off of the gun I loaded round balls from the front with a thwack of a mallet. The .38 S&W brass was loaded as blanks with normal charges and cardboard wads. .36 percussion balls were too small. .400" barely left a seating ring and .410"s did fine but were very scarce (track of the wolf). Come to think of it, .400"s aren't common either. Lube was a smear vasoline, cup grease and/or a & d ointment left over from the kid's old diaper bags which left a cloud of diesel fumes to inhale when the wind was wrong. 5 shot groups varied from almost respectable to minute of medium pizza box.

Oh man...sorry to see this. (reply)

Hoot — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 20:21:57 +0000

Prayers most definitely for Peggy (if I remember). My wish is for healing and a full recovery.
