. . . join me in congratulating our AP moderator . . . . . . on the accomplishment. And yes, in real life he bears a canny resemblance to Clint. ...  

My kind of performance πŸ˜‰

The Dollars Trilogy were literally the first live action movies my parents ever showed me as a kid, after years of exclusively watching cartoons. Despite never having been a cinephile, those films (and obviously the ones they were inspired by (Yojimbo)) l... 

True story: walked into the LA Omega boutique yesterday, . . .

. . . found an AP. (It belonged to one of their clients. Nice of him to let me photograph it!) ...  

Not too bad....

You might want to reconsider though if you even contemplate getting close to Vlad's number - that is only hypothetically achievable in Vlad years πŸ˜πŸ‘....

like I need an extra 6539 years on top of that great, just great

Such an epic reply requires some new photos.

A small sampling of hardware. Original Model 29 from 1959. The finish on this revolver is spectacular, and the balance of the gun with 6 1/2" barrel is perfect. For non-gun people, the feel is like a 39mm Jumbo on the wrist. All original, with B&P of ...  

Nice hardware : )

...the wood grips are beautiful but the black grips seem more functional. I have the boring (but incredibly durable) plastic grips on my HK...

4" 44, lotta power right there

 
By: MichaelC : June 11th, 2024-22:56
I am a 357 guy, tried-and-true. But I like to shoot 44 here and there to "feel the power". My limit for sure. I have shot S&W500, but do not own one.

Wow Michael!! You made my day with these pictures of your Dirty Harry style battery!! You share it with some stunning pictures which make drool me and any gun aficionado.

Your 1959 M-29 is a true beauty. The finish of early M-27 and M-29 (polish and bluing) is really outstanding. I also own a good collection of M-29 mostly from early 1980Β΄s through 90's in barrel lenghts from 3, 4, 5, 6, 6-1/2 and 8 3/8" both blued, nickel... 

We should meet for sure! I would love to see your collection.

 
By: MichaelC : June 14th, 2024-20:23
Sounds like you have all the metals covered! The 28-2 you spotted is indeed a Highway Patrolman model. Definitely one of my favorite guns. As you know, the finish is sort of blackened. It is a great shooter. I will make a separate 357 post one of these da... 

Thanks a lot for your kind words dear Michael!!

The Model 28 is also a favorite of mine. It was my test gun for my .357 mag reloads. A great gun and a twin of the exceptional M27 except for the finish and other details of course. Look forward to your .357 M post!! Will try to get some pictures of my co... 

Awesome!

Btw…my mule doesn’t like people laughin…see he gets the crazy idea you are laughin at himβ€¦πŸ˜‚

I love Yellowstone.

 
By: MichaelC : June 14th, 2024-20:24
We started 1883 but got sidetracked, and then it dropped from our streaming service. Still need to finish it!! Are you a fan?

Personally 1883 is the best

 
By: Gelato Monster : June 14th, 2024-23:13
1923 & Yellowstone are awesome. If I may share some of my other favπŸ˜€ Magnificent 7 3-10 to yuma Unforgiven Shane True grit The dollar trilogy

For A Few Posts More πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Congratulations Michael ! I always enjoy your posts and opinions on all things AP. Without you this place just wouldn’t be the same. Best regards Captain

Let me know if you're down for the Stones show in LA . . .

 
By: Dr No : June 11th, 2024-17:34
. . . on July 10th. A VIP ticket just became available. Dinner at The Rainbow afterwards, of course.

I can smell the 20k just around the corner.

Thank you, Bill. What you have done here for all of us...

I can only offer my continual thanks for having this awesome arena for our Community. That is all you my Friend!

Hmm! Great question!

When I'm writing my articles, I'm usually not wearing a watch! As I don't usually wear a watch when I type on the keyboard at home.

Thanks Tony. Always fun to share.

PS sorry to ready your Minute Rattrapante went back. I'll be curious as to the issue, I guess with the reset function based on an older post. I have every confidence Parmigiani will handle it efficiently and correctly!

To many more!

Watches, pictures, stories, help & support! It’s been an honor to share a small part of the journey with you πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™πŸ» Here the closest to a shared watch 😊 ...  

Huge congratulations, Michael....

I always enjoy reading you. IΒ΄m very happy to call you are a true friend. You do a great job as a moderator here so keep them coming

We sure have lots in common, Abel!

 
By: MichaelC : June 14th, 2024-20:28
I suspect beyond guns and watches, we would discover others too. Your kind words mean much to me, thanks my Friend!

I’m sure we could have a very interesting chat and will discover other …
