And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Here lately I'm having to face the reality that my hands aren't going to be able to take that sort of thing anymore. .44 mag with padded gloves is at the top end of what I can fire these days.
I managed to obtain a Ruger speed six without the warning on the barrel. That warning really ruins the aesthetic. I love the look of revolvers unlike plastic autos like the Block… err, Glock. Revolvers have curves, like a woman
"Read the Owner's Manual" is etched on the barrel? That reminds me of hairdryers warning "Do not use in the bathtub." Or worse: Warning label on a car battery: "Do not drink contents."
As far as I understand, it's not "mankind". It is your product liability. The american justice system makes these warnings unavoidable. Any greedy moron with a lawyer can sue manufacturers, restaurants, doctors, service providers etc. into oblivion. Here in Europe we don't have these warnings. At least not yet...
I am afraid that mankind (and womankind) is so preoccupied with their own garbage and unfortunately so many smoke pot on a regular basis that their feeble minds do not function properly.
I forgot to add: That I agree that litigious and greed lawyers play on these less-than-mental-giants short comings and are able to pocket a massive amount of settlement money.
I am assuming that the handgun pictured is a Ruger Alaskan in 454 Casull. And it wouldn't be much work to send the cylinder to a company like TK customs and have it machined for moon clips and shoot 45 ACP for plinking.
I am often reminded of Ross Seyfried's loads for the 45 Colt. If you can't do it with those loads, maybe you should be carrying a rifle or shotgun with slugs. Happy Canada Day Al! Steve_in_Ottawa
I hve a Blackhawk convertible with .45ACP cylinder and .45Colt cylinder. I think I have used the ACP cylinder just once. I like to load the .45Colt rather warm with 200gr. lead flat nose. That guns is quite a bit of fun.

ReplyDeletehopefully, that instruction manual has tips on wrist replacement after you've fired a box of shells
Deletesad to see a warning stamped on the barrel of a beautiful weapon
ReplyDeleteSame thought I had. Disgusting.
DeleteThe warning can be removed and the finish easily restored, but as you say, it shouldn't be them in the first place.
ReplyDeleteInteresting grips

DeleteSurprised it doesn't have the California warning "Chemicals used in the making of this product may cause cancer". saw that on a gunsmithing hammer

ReplyDeleteSince the 454 Casull is based on a stretched 45 Colt case it would be simpler to just shoot 45 Colt.
