Chief Threadkiller Muttly has to do what he has to do, so, even though you and pal Covenantor may be all that's left, here's my Today report:

Hoage grips and McCormick 10 rd. magazines seem O.K. in this new Rock Island .45, no problems yet, after it basically stopping to work after around 200 rounds or so...got really dirty in the slide rails, wouldn't send the slide all the way back. After deciding to not pitch it over the fence, field stripped same...O.K.now. Will never use Blazer Brass ammo again though, suspect it burns dirty. So, other than my innate love for the 1911/.45ACP, and my distaste, shall we say, for imported clones....any word on Rock Island will be greatly appreciated, since the Muttly Adoption Center is presently stuck with it, and always strives to make the best of things. It's a learning experience, don't cha' know. It wasn't it's fault it was born this way, and hey, here it is. Works for me.....so far.

Next is a worn to the brass "Benjamin Franklin" underlever pump pellet pistol, evidently .22 caliber....or .20...but evidently before Benjamin's acquisition of Sheridan, so I figure .22. Could be from the 1960s or '50s. Worn to the brass, lever hanging down...but a great gun! I BELIEVE......!!!!!...and that's all that Tinkerbell needed...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, the 200 yard distant (and 20+ yards down) Coyote which was apparently stalking the Jackrabbit which distracted my .357 contribution eluded the Rock Island (not in my hands) too, although we drew dust at its feet....proving the efficacy of 230 grains of slug in the field once more...but not claiming the furry and fleabitten prize this time. Remarkable how the young bull whose nose we shot over didn't even care a whit, so we sent a few more downrange, but to no avail save function proving, which was our initial purpose for taking afield.
