Another example of why I always try to park in an end space. Ah, the joys of living in a 55+ community.

Anymore Johnny, much like speed limits, parking lines are just a suggestion.

Do a search. I found a Dec 24 post by Baltimore Ed  on how to adapt  a reenactors riflemans coat.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

'Tis 48 and overcast. "A chance of showers in the morning  then showers and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 60s. East wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent."

We're having a bit of a thunderstorm here in central Nebraska.  Not much rain from it, but I love the thunder and lightning!

As long as there are no tornadoes!  We've had enough of those this year in eastern Nebraska.  My wife took pictures of one from our front porch a couple weeks ago, and then a week and a half later we get the maelstrom last week.

Mako, are you sure Colt actually marked any guns .44-40 in the 1800s?  I'm aware of the Colt Frontier Six Shooter barrel markings and the little. 44CF mark sometimes found on the trigger guard, but I didn't think Colt marked any 1st gen SAAs .44-40.  But I'm not terribly experienced and am mostly parroting those who know more.

Jim,
That is a good question.  I have seen Gen 1s marked as .44-40, but I actually don't know when they started marking them as .44-40.  This is a Gen 1 below.



But, Colt's was bad about their caliber marking as we were discussing with the .38 Colt.  If someone here is a SAA expert, please chime in.  I have the two book set The Colt single action revolvers: A shop manual--volumes I & II by Jerry Kuhnhausen and  small pocket serial number and feature identifier but I would not call myself a SAA expert.

This is why I enjoy these discussions I get schooled a lot.
