Welcome...Illus1on

Welcome to the forum.

One of my favorite flicks of all time was set partially in your back yard.

Can anyone guess what it is?

Here is a hint: It is not often when RCMP are caste as the bad guys.

Nice Colt... And the movie sounds like "Manhunt" with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin.

Nice, shiny, gift indeed.
The movie, of course, was the 1999 romantic comedy Dudley Do-Right.

In my 40s I went back to college and got my Degree. A guy came around hawk'n graduation rings. I noticed that the price of a ring was exactly the same as the price of a new SAA. I never regretted getting the Colt.

Great gift for sure. One can never go wrong with gifts like those. Now if I can just get my wife to start getting me gifts like that instead of clothes.

Your wife got a sister?
Who, maybe, likes grumpy ol' desert cats?
My birthday's Feb. 4.
Only 33 more shopping days!
Um ... .44/40, 7-1/2" barrel, and nickel plated with walnut grips.

Great present! That's a fine looking revolver for sure! Congrats!

Now for the pin to prick his baloon . . . did you guys notice that he didn't say ANYTHING about his lovely wife getting him any cartridges for it . . . . it would be a shame if he had to wait all the way until his birthday to get some cartridges.

LOL! Somehow, with the wife that you have . . . I don't think you'll mind too much if she "borrows" it once in a while! All kidding aside, that was a real nice Christmas present and i'm sure you'll treasure it always! And those grips are like sweet icing on an already delicious cake!
