Barney Fife?

Noah

Ha ha, smart ass

Cmon man, who DIDNT want to be Sonny Crockett ? He almost always got the girl, and got paid to drive a Ferrari, a Cigarette Speed Boat and live on a sailboat. He was practically the ultimate playboy. And he got to carry a rare pistol every day, the Bren 10

LOL Barney didn't sport the Jackass rig, and they only gave him one bullet at a time, I seem to recall him repeatedly shooting himself or nearly doing so in the foot.

Lets see if i can answer some of the questions
Yes it gets warm in Wisconsin. Define warm. Packers being 3-0 helps
I did tell him 2 fun shops that rent pistols.
Shoulder holsters shout cop to me.
If you carry your Lemat
I will carry my Schoefield. Actually I am planning on carrying the Schoefield if I can find a decent holster for it. I have not looked for one yet.

OK answers,

1: be careful this is Steelers country.
2: You have a Schoefield? Is it original S&W or a clone? If S&W what year was it built?
3: Man I'm jealous, always wanted a Schoefield.

I think I may suggest a different 1st handgun - 1911 a bit much for a newbie to master one would think.

I respectfully disagree. The 1911 is a very easy handgun to master, and it is arguably perhaps the safest handgun ever sold, especially the "modern" ones with the firing pin safeties. You get multiple, redundant layers of safety:

• Thumb safety
• Grip safety
• Firing pin safety

Compare to a Glock (ask Plaxico Burress)

I agree, the reduntant safety on the 1911 are excellent for newbies. Also keep in mind (though I am not a fan) the 1911s are now chambered in all popular pistol calibers.

I think a small revolver is best for newbies. The reason being- it's impossible to mistake it for being unloaded unlike pistols.

[ooticamitica]

i would carry a shoefield in a heartbeat if i had one!

There will always be someone stupid enough to do that.

Lets see if i can piss some people off right away.
1.no ones afraid of a steeler.
2 It is a uberti 1873 cattleman in 45 colt. It has the 5" barrel and it is big I have almost no felt recoil. I would like to shoot cowboy so I am buying 1 gun at a time till I have what I need to shoot a match.
