My grandfather always told me it was bad luck to "give" someone a knife. You can "let them carry your knife" or sell it to them. He was not European-American, he was pure Texan. He let me carry his knife for what turned out to be eternity. He even made me give him a penny for the knife he gave me for Christmas one year. I still have both of them and they will some day go to my sons...for a penny each.

Some of the outdoor dining places use these heaters from Coleman. They work pretty well but are kind of expensive. I think there are others on the market, but don't know names. http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/...categoryid=3000

I have been shooting 38 Spec. in NRA Action Pistol for years and right now, I think I am one of the few still shooting a revolver in Action Pistol. I am waiting to see if the auto loader thing is just a passing fad. Granted, the Action Pistol Power Factor is only 120, but a very accurate load out of my 686 Open gun is a 148BBWC over 3.7 grains of WST. This chronos out to 870 fps out of my gun. Using 125 JHP's, I load 6.0 grains of WST for an average on 1061 FPS. Both of these loads are capable of sub 2" groups at 50 yards. Unfortunatley, it usually depends on the nut behind the trigger. As with any loading data, please reduce the loads and work up slowly.
