 :)  I don't know about anybody else, exactly, but I do know (I think) I was really bored in February.  What of February I can remember (not much) that is   ;)

There is the possibility the whole thread initially started out as a Trolling expedition to stir things up.  Or Not.

HAPPY MONDAY by the way

Stay Safe Out There

A”little” off topic, but not much.. You all were discussing the term “long colt”. Did I not read somwhere that the term originated in the 1800swhen a guy would go into a gun shop and ask for a box of 45 shorts?(meaning he wanted 45 Schofield rounds, or a box of 45 longs meaning 45Colt?

Now there is a subject that has never been brought up or discussed before,   Coffinmaker!

Another vote for the affordable Rossi 92 in 45 Colt. Stock sights are very accurate.

 ;)  Nah.  Actually, inna 1800s a Guy would go into the local Hardware store and General Emporium and ask for a box of "45" Shorts, meaning he really wanted some Bloomers with a bit more "Crotch Space."   ::)   I betcha.

I vote for the French Foreign Legion.  They'd issue a rifle.  And some "45" shorts  8)

I think the OP opted for a Porter lever action turret rifle, had a chain fire and was laid to rest.
