Very nice. I’m a 22 nut myself, although I’ve traded off most of mine. I’m just left with a Marlin 80E, a Ruger 10-22, and a Marlin 39M. I dearly love shooting 22s.

What you said Bro. Wade is true with lots of folks, "I dearly love shooting 22s." My 1st recollection of a 22 was my mother's old Remington 33, a single shot that I carried in the woods when I was a little feller. I wish I had kept a list of all the 22s I've owned when I was younger, we traded them like marbles. I could tell all sorts of tales concerning me and a 22. (That would be a good title for an essay, "Me and a 22.") I keep one on my old woods cart all the time, it is rusty but it still shoots, there's one in the floorboard of my old F-150 4X4, there are several old 22s in different corners of the house near a door and there are several thousand rounds of 22s where I keep my ammo. When our children were small and they didn't have much money or ran out of ideas for a gift for their dad's birthday or Christmas, a brick or tub of 22's was in order.
The most ribbing I ever took on a trade concerning 22 rifles was when I traded a Marlin model 60 for a Winchester model 67 Boy's Rifle. Even the man I traded with asked me, "You sure about that?" Everyone thought I was nuts. Who would trade an automatic for a single shot? (I know, semiautomatic but they all called 'em "automatics" back then. Still have the Winchester in my pile!
Time to quit before I get wound up.

I almost picked up a little .32 a few years back; reminded me of the old Jim Croce song ...
"he got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun
he got a razor in his shoe "

The Bearcat and Old Model Single Six I bought from gunshops. The Old Model Blackhawk is chambered in 45 Colt. I haven't done a thing to it since I bought it from a friend who got it from his brother's estate. I knew both of the brothers and was happy to get the 45. All are great fun to shoot.

Boji I do have an 81 Beretta in 32 and really appreciate its feel in the hand. Shoots well. If you run across a Savage don't hesitate to add it to your collection. Has a 10 shot double stack magazine and classic looks. If you have seen the movie "Road to Perdition" with Hanks in the lead role, you'll note the photographer that kills him uses a Savage pistol.

Doglegg that S & W 16 must have been nice. Did you use it in competition?

It is from Guns & Ammo magazine from February 1964. The article was about Thell Reed, who is the father of Hannah Gutierrez Reed who was the armorer on the movie set Rust. This was the movie set in which Alex Baldwin shot and killed the movie producer. Anyway, Thell Reed was quite the shooter back in the day. The article goes into how Reed could fire a 45 Auto from the hip on target and have 4 empty cases in the air at once. The bottom picture shows Reed and Elmer Keith examining a target. The article claimed that Reed could draw, fire six shots from a Single Action Army Colt, reload and fire 6 more shots all on target in 10 and 1/2 seconds!!

I saw a bunch of those at the gunshow today, but I had never heard of them and didn't bite. Maybe I should have. They were all nice looking guns for sure.
