I have lusted after one of them for years, had a chance at one a couple of years ago for $800. But the barrel was badly canted and nobody local was willing/able to straighten it so it was a hard pass.

Awesome Python, Boji. What about the other snake- the Anaconda? I prefer the Dirty Harry S&W .44 mag looks over the Anaconda but probably wouldn't pass up a good deal on either.

We’ll today Jackson has a funeral and the deceased was a bird hunter. Below is the display the family sat up in the chapel for the service.

He texted me the picture and said the family wanted to put some empty shotgun hulls on the display but didn’t have any. So Jackson said, “hold on”. He went out to his truck and got some empty hulls from the last trap shoot and an old box and sat them on the display.

I don’t think the family was expecting the 17 year old funeral director to have empty shells in his truck. Little did they understand who they were dealing with. Lol

I would applaud your son's career choices. In an age where the baby boomers, like me, will be dying off in droves for the next decade or two, it should be a very solid profession for the rest of his working life. You must be quite proud of the young man. My congrats also go to the father and mother.

Friday morning I took it apart and found a broken bolt slide connecting rod. Not an uncommon part to fail in a high-round 391. I ordered one, and also sent a text out to my shooting partners what the issue was. One of them - who lives close by - told me he had one and to swing by and pick it up. So I did - I got the part along with a few beers. The Beretta was back up and running before I went to bed Friday night.

To make sure it was the gun and not me I shot equal number of rounds on an another target with my S&W 66 snub and those were all on center.
