I Have Attained Civility...

After finally clearing two months of backlogged orders, background check (frankly, I was sweating outing myself to flag@whitehouse.gov, back when) and the CA 10-day "cooling off" period.

Meet "Civility"

Uberti Cattleman "Callahan" .44 Magnum, 

blued steel frame, 6" barrel, target sights

And his older brother "Discourse"

1st Model Dragoon, cal. .44 percussion
case-hardened frame, 7½" barrel

(saving up for cartridge conversion)

I'll be having their barrels engraved next payday.

Tragically defective Subaru...

Look. It's a freaking Subaru. In Los Angeles.  The ofiicial car of soccer moms, suburbanites, tree huggers, yuppies and all the other bourgeois Obama-voting hothouse flowers...

So what the hell went wrong here?
