  1. To be able to engrave and carve like that. What an art.

  2. The real art is not getting mauled to death after you piss off the bear by shooting him with a 357 magnum….

    1. The art is shooting him behind the ear with a hard cast lead round out of a 357, but not that one. Remember, a griz was killed by an Indian woman with a 22lr round (google it) miraculous shot granted. Shot placement and the art of achieving it under pressure that's the art.

    2. Bella Twin, not just any Grizz. The world record with a single shot .22

    3. Grizz oughta be proud to be shot with a .357 like that.
      Every round out of the barrel reduces its value.

  4. Thats a handsome pistola. Such an iconic form. Looks right somehow, perfect melding of form follows function, then the Lilly gets gelded.

  5. The S&W N frame M27. I have an early one when S&W used the great blueing process. The finish is beautiful.

  6. That's too pretty to shoot anyone with, except maybe commies. Yeah, you could shoot commies with that. Ohh, you meant bears not commies, never mind.
