West, glad to have you with us.  Sorry about the wait.  When I ordered mine about 7 yrs ago I had to wait about 3 months to get mine as well.

BOSS # 143

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

[West Longer]

Thanky Boys for the invite. Its gona be a long 90 days.

[Books OToole]

I have recently acquired a S & W 44 Double Action First Model.

It has been re-nickled (by a true artist) therefore it is a shooter.  I have fired a box of ammo through it and have acquired the .44 Russian dies to reload.  It shoots pretty high but at CAS distances I have put five shots in a group the size of a silver dollar.

By next season it may be my main match pistol.

Does this model fall with in the BOSS area of interest?  If so sign me up.

I don't think I qualify, I've owned a S&W 1902 DA 2nd model in 32-20 for many years.
It was my Dads, I think he acquired in the 1930's , and I know he had it while on PT's toward the end of WW2.
As a little fellow I remember he allowed me to shoot it .
It was the most powerful handgun, I had ever shot by age 8 ... have only shot 22's.
He had an H&R 9 shot 22 mod. 999 , that was my main shooter with him.
In 1963 my Grandfather passed, and Dad gave the 22 to a Lawyer friend that help him with the estate.

In 1969 or 70, I found a Brand new H&R 999 , I purchased it for my Dad, in return he handed me the S&W DA.
I know it's not Schofield, but it has much history.

Thanks Joss,

I remember a little S&W DA top break in 32 S&W (short) with a 3 1/2" barrel.
My Mother had it as Cashier & Ticket Sales at Regent Theater in Miami.
The theater was owned by my Granddad.
As a side story, a Young DESI ARNAZ/aka Ricky Ricardo used to Sing & dance at the weekly Sat. Evening Stage show with the picture.
He was often accompanied by Al Capone's son.

I lost track of the gun,in the 80's , It was in need of repair as I recall , Broken hand spring & Bolt spring I think.
Hard Rubber Grip were missing a few little chunks too.
Would have made a great little side match pocket pistol.

I just found yer' organization. Interested in joinin'. Mine are a pair of Navy Arms Russians in 44rus, and an H&R 5 shot in 32 S&W short .

  Shoot straight, talk straight

[Sgt. Eli]

Joss...better sign me up. I have been shootin' a pair of Russians since July.

Howdy Sgt. Eli

Welcome aboard Pard. Just signed up a while back also. I havent got to shoot my new Uberti 45's 7 inchers (Blue), cause they havent come in yet! Ordered them in Sept. Said it would be about 90 days before they get in my waiting hands. And I not a very patient man!
I got a vacation day set for Nov 25th. I hope ya guys are shooting then.
 

[Blackwater Desperado]

 I've got a question to go with my request for membership. Can the Navy Arms 44 Russian be smithed up to sliphammer. Never took mine that far apart to look. They shoot real well as they are, but I have a minor dissability (no feeling in portions of both hands), so two handed shooting is a must for safety reasons. Since I gotta' anyway, I wondered if this could be done.
  Anyhow, I've got two Navy Arms 44 Russians and an H&R top break pocket pistol in 32 S&W short. The Russians are 44S&W, blued with white ghiraffe bone grips. The H&R is nickeled and basicaly in original configuration.
  I'm an NRA member, a S.A.S.S. member #53393, a SCORRS member, a LASSOOS member, and co-founder of the Insane Clown Posse. The latter being an organization dedicated to the principle of having fun above all but saftey in cowboy shooting.
  Blackwater Desperado reportin' fer duty, Sah!!

[Blackwater Desperado]

Thanks, I'll check with him when I get off from work.

[Sgt. Eli]

You the BOSS, Joss!   Well Howdy!       

[West Longer]

Howdy Sgt.

Nice looking Russians ya got there. Wish we could of shot on the same posse. If permitted, I would have liked to shot those babies. But again it might have made my waiting for mine that much longer!

I know with my luck my Schofields wont be in on time to shot with ya on the 25th. But I'll be there with my Rugers.

[West Longer]

Welcome aboard Big Jim!  Cool looking Russians.
