I could do with a $96 Ruger flat top and do not need a $4000 custom revolver. I hear you! I could go for a $96 Roooger too!

Got to agree with this!
When I was in Boise visiting my daughter I contacted John Taffin (through a local gun & pawn) and asked if it was OK to come over.
Bottom line, if I lived within a half a mile of Brian Pearce, I would find a way to go see him. He has written some great stuff on big bore revolvers. However, just like the rest of us, he puts his pants on one leg at a time...

But it does take him longer. The man has about a 38 inch inseam.

long range handgun shooting doesn't have to make sense, it's just fun.. I was shooting a 115 year old revolver yesterday and got bored pretty quick. 100 yards isn't really long range but it was more fund zinging t hose in than a paper target in ten yards.

I like most of the current writers and I read almost everything I can get my hands on about every type of gun. My favorite handgun writer by far is John Taffin. I like his technical style and I really enjoy his philosophies about life. He is a Christian man and that part of his writing show through and has helped me a lot in my personal life.

Maybe so but he has a mean streak and attacked me and so did the 1000 followers. I was booted from the SA site. I know Lee Martin and shot with him. A great guy. He wanted me back after seeing I was not lying. He never seen a revolver shoot like me and Whitworth did. I said "NO" I have ethics. Everything I have done is to advance others and I don't want butt draggers. The saddest ever are those that drag with no work of their own.

Frank De Haas.
I take guns apart to check out the designs.
When Frank did it, he saw more than I do.

Those dead guys could not handle what we shoot now. Seriously... Elmer Keith couldn't handle what you shoot. PLEASE put the crack pipe down and back away slowly.
