Having A Bad Day04_04_05.jpg

Not me, I had a great day. I spent the afternoon at the movies watching an interesting film "Sin City". Visually it was fantastic. I still haven't decided on the story yet. But if you get a chance to see it you will know that I ripped them off. Or, maybe I'm looking for a bit part if they make a sequel. I can do "evil bastard killer".

Absolutely great image.

Bill, I liked the gritty feel of this image from the time you posted it. I saw Sin City over the weekend (I loved it but it is definitely not fo everyone) and I think you pulled the look off very well. You look a bit like the "Jackie Boy" character that Benicio del Toro played. Steve

My 73 is a Italian also from Cabellas but I got it in 44/40. Such a pain to reload I should have gotten it in 45.

I have a current generation in nickel with my SASS # as the serial number. It is from the Colt Custom Shop and I could not wait to shoot it. I agree on guns in boxes. Seems a waste although I realize if we keep them for a hundred years or so without shooting they will be worth something.
Wm. Bates05-Apr-2005 14:29
John, the 73 is an Italian replica in .45 Colt I picked up to match the old 2nd generation Colt which has been my "shooter" for years. I guess I should have left the Colt in the box and never fired it; but, that would be such a waste on a different level.
John Lester05-Apr-2005 14:23
My local paper, a NY Times owned paper, rated Sin City "A". Great picture of you by the way.
John Lester05-Apr-2005 14:22
The horrible bullet quote was a tad tongue in cheek. As a Life member of NRA and SASS I tend to be a little pro gun. The 343 in my name is my SASS number. Pray tell is that 73 in 44/40. I have a replica 73 in 44/40. I remember the picture of your TV room and the items hanging on the wall.

By the way thanks for you help. I finally figured how to put the little picture links below the main picture by looking at your source code on you underwater watch picture.

John, I used what I had around. I don't believe in "horrible bullets" they all have their place. I use flat nose because I have a model 73 Winchester in the same chambering. Hollow points won't load smoothly in the Winchester and round nose aren't safe in a lever actions tubular magazine. The flat nose work well in both.
John Lester05-Apr-2005 14:01
I am assuming you were using a remote to trigger the shutter. I just noted that you were loaded with wad cutters and thought hollow points might be interesting. But then we probably don't want to display a horrible bullet like that. Now you have gone and made me get out the old peacemaker for a cowboy picture.

Golly gee Johns, I didn't really want to kill the camera. Of course when you punch a half inch hole completely through something knock down power doesn't much matter.
John Lester05-Apr-2005 13:12
I would have used hollow points. Maybe some old Black Talon's.
John S. Nasche05-Apr-2005 06:22
Ahhh! My kind of image! Very nice, ... like something I would do because it's a "guy thing" LOL! (Psst! Bill, ... use hollow points! They have nore knock-down power!)
Jim McKinlock05-Apr-2005 06:16
Whoa Bill, That's pretty scary. The background looks like your dungeon wall, Wanda better shackle you up before you get too out of control. Regards jim
Guest 05-Apr-2005 05:16
whoa!! THIS is cool, and a REAL change up from our Wanda!!!
Guest 05-Apr-2005 05:15
Dad, this is a great photo, but I don't like it. It is disturbing to me!!

Yikes!
Wesley Aston05-Apr-2005 03:09
Thats the first movie that came to mind when I saw this!
Nice picture, but I will stay away when this guy is over there :)
James Lundy05-Apr-2005 03:07
