All this time I thought you liked me and turns out it was my .44 you were after the whole time.

No! No! No! Perhaps my meaning wasn't clear!

I realize just how much you love that gun. I just wanted you to be in peace knowing that someone was going to take care of it as well as you do once you're gone. :innocent:

I'm just poking fun at you. I appologize for being one of the "rabbit trail takers".

Do you prefer the 44 mag over the 500? The 44 mag just seems like a sweet spot for me and your hardcast loads are great. Am I going to have to get another one :) I'll never be able to find one with as nice of action as that hand picked one I had. I'm missing it again just talking about it.

I do prefer the .44 mag. I can find ammo in nearly any village I travel to. As far as the action on a S&W, You can buy an S&W and take it to Gene of "Action by Gene" at Northern Security on old Seward in Anchorage and have an action job done on it.

Gene is not there any longer, He is in poor health, and has retired.

Seems I remember some about that. He has been training a young guy for a couple of years. The young guy is the one that did the action job on my gun.

It also doesn't hurt to have anybody who might be with you familiar with the use/uses and locations of the items in your vest or pack. I didn't know everything klkak had in his pack (things would have gone a little smoother if I did) but I didn't find anything in it that I didn't know how to use.

1. If it's in your kit, your incapacitated and your buddy don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If your buddy can't find items in your kit when you need it....Its useless.
....or something like that.:dissolve:

Excellent point. It is common practice among special ops teams and others for all members to know exactly where individuals carry items; in case.

Point taken. Before out next hunting trip I'll make sure I familiarize you with the contents of my vest.

By th way, I tore my house apart trying to find your little .22 pistole. Then I remembered you took it with you.

Hmmmmmm. Hey AKS - have you been to West Virginia?

I'll bet it was a Beretta. Those things disappear easy enough.

Hi crash, never had a chance to visit West Virginia, why do you ask?

klkak, you should have asked me if I remembered where you put it. I could have saved you search. Find anything interesting to add to your vest while you were looking?

Well, for $100 this has 22 pockets and a measurement guide. They also have free ground shipping through Monday.

Best I've been able to find. Looks like a normal vest but with all the pockets you need.

Sorry sjj, but to tell the truth I don't have that kind of cash to put on a single item of clothing... no matter how good it is or is supposed to be. I will say that I have not heard a single bad thing about them. Some of their "testimonials" make me believe they are as good as they sound.
