Just finished reading MEC's book from cover to cover. It was too windy to shoot, to dry to plow and I don't want to do any fencing.
I really wish I had bought the book before I bought my 51 Navy and 58 Remi. The book is fantastic. It's an easy read and very well set up. I thouroughly enjoy it. But after reading all about revolvers, I wish I had bought a plains pistol or target pistol. The revolvers have too many springs, hammers, levers, and widgets that seem to break very often. Being a complete dummy on gunsmithing and all things mechanical, I'll shoot my pistols until they break and then buy a simple, easy to clean and shoot plains pistol.
