I am relieved to see it was a pistol and not a depiction of getting lucky......

...and he'll tell you to take a flying leap and get thee to a cloning clinic! :blah: :rotf:

My dad is 64 so I bet he would say something close to that. Might be a little more colorful. :rotf:

My brother in laws don't love me that much.

Those CVA Mountain Pistols were the right pistol at the right price when they came out 30 odd years ago. Excepting the odd things Dixie sometimes had, the only real guns to fit in the Mountain Man arena were Lyman's "New Plain's Pistol" and Navy Arms "Harper's Ferry" and "British flint Dragoon". The second was a much more accurate version of those things others imported from Spain, Italy or Liege. The "Dragoon" didn't last long, maybe it's wasn't everyone "schtick". Green River Forge also had out one they called the "Hudson Bay Factor's Pistol" that came in .50 rifled or .595 smooth bored, but these had a $450 price tag and that was a bit back then. The CVA got some knocks from a few about general appearance, etc. but they shot like a house-afire and had the cool belt hook...how can you not like a belt hook?!

Have we all forgot something? This feller"found" his present. For shame, now the surprise will be missing from his face on Christmas( I refuse to call it xxxXmas) morning. But good luck with using your new weapon and enjoy it for many years.

christmas will start with a bang!

It was either the pistol or a new pitbull puppy. Its to cold right now for potty training, that will wait till spring or summer. I just lost my 9 year old big guy 1 week ago :shake:

Sorry for the loss. I know that isn't easy, cause I know how I am with mine, and wish he would live as long as I do, or the other way around, whichever way that ends up being.
