While having to wait to pick it up is bad enough, once I get it, the wait for the range to open so I can shoot it is going to be even worse!!!
You should consider a Midwest road trip. We can all provide targets and we can try it too. ::ds::

Though I grew up Air Force and Becky grew up Army, then we did 20 years Air Force ourselves, neither one of us have spent any time out west.
If finances and our budget can go as planned, we want to take a trip out that way is a few years. Right now the destination is Jackson Hole, WY. That may change as we continue to research places to go and things to do, but we're really looking forward to it.

Maybe we can meet up with a few of you guys!

Bill that is a wonderful idea! If you travel through KY I’ll provide a range to try it out!

Steve, that's a sweet looking revolver! If it shoots as good as it looks you're gonna be happy. I love the case hardening colors.

I've been contemplating what it would be like to not be able to step out on the back porch or for that matter the front porch and squeeze off a few rounds ever since Steve has been updating on his purchase and all that had to happen to get his new revolver. ::hmm:: There is definitely an advantage to living in the country and in a state that so far mostly honors the 2nd Amendment.

And I agree with you 110%..
I would never even consider living in a city again.
I live in an "out of town" neighborhood BUT my neighbors and I have been known to step out back and dispatch a varmint if necessary.

Growing up Air Force, then serving myself, I've had over 30 addresses in maybe 20 different areas. There are pros and cons for each and every place. Are there places we think we would rather live? Certainly. But what I am certain of, and the most important "pro" there is, is that God has us here, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for His purposes. We are blessed to be here and to be used by Him as He sees fit. Until He says, "time to go!" we'll stay right where we are, and be pleased in doing so.
Take care and God bless,

The color case on the Ubertis is really excellent. I have had a Uberti Bisley 357 for a couple of years and have run 1600 rounds thru it. The trigger on mine was a little rough when it was new, but has worn in nicely as has the entire action. I have been using the Acme Hi Tek coated cast bullets in my home brew cowboy loads and they really do keep the guns cleaner than traditional cast bullets. I use them in my 45/70 Henry single shot also.

The Acme Hi Tek coated cast bullets loaded into 357 mag and 45/70 cases. Acme calls them the "lipstick" bullet.
