Bucket list task completed

[godogs57]

No, not a Booner buck. Not even close. Got this 2 1/2 year old cow horn buck this evening with a very special vintage weapon. I absolutely love taking the old stuff hunting with me and this pistol fits that description. Seven years ago I inherited my uncle’s Colt Single Action Army pistol. She’s chambered in 45 Long Colt and is a “first generation “ issue. I got Colt to send me her history and their records showed she was shipped to Richards & Conover Hardware in Kansas City on August 15, 1907. She’s 115 years old! All this time I had wanted to get a deer with this old gunfighter’s pistol and Lady Luck kissed me on the cheek this afternoon. A 260 grain lead bullet, cast by me, did the job at 30 yards.


Oiled back down and back into the safe she goes.

I have a Colt 45, it doesn’t have the history yours does but this gives me a goal to accomplish!

You done good, Hank. Proud for you.

Thanks Nick! Got a heck of a kick out of this. Proud the old gun got to punch something other than paper. I often wonder the early history of this gun, given it was shipped to a town where history shows there were gunfights on a regular basis.

That’s the cats meow right there Mr Hank!!

I don't know how many deer you have killed, but this one has to has to rank near the top. Pretty gutzy to hunt with that old timer, and got the job done perfectly. Well done!
