This is off topic but in "For a Few Dollars More", Clint Eastwood goes in a saloon and gets the guy named, "Red". Then three of Red's friends come in. I'm trying to find out the real names of those three men.
Thanks
For a few dollars more
You could take your speakers, hang em high, and feel the sudden impact. Granted you may have to turn your amp every which way but loose, but then you could play misty for me any which way you can and not feel like we had to run the gauntlet. In a perfect world the beguiled listener would be the rookie, and to spend more would be a true crime. In other words, you don't need to spend a million dollar, baby.

That's nothing compared to William Holden firing the pre-WW1 Browning .30 water-cooled belt-fed mg at the Mexicans during the ending of The Wild Bunch (1969). A masterpiece of brutality by director Sam Peckinpah!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvDAqlmOQ_w All the best, Nonoise |
Allen, pins or screws on your SBH. The real early Black Hawk (not SBH) were screws the later ones went to pins.. They were always backing out a screw or two.. I have one of earliest ones, all screws.. Decommissioned of course, good for pig in the delta.. I always used 44 special rounds.. Easier to recover from for a second shot and plenty of knock down.. Damn pigs, tear up a field in no time.. Dead pigs are good pigs. Bacon is a good pig.. 6 weeks they start to go feral. Nasty.. Tear up a dog too. Heavy Pitts and Rotts. I've stitched up a lot of dogs, behind pig hunts. I'm not a gunner at all anymore.. To many thing have happened, I like peace and music.. No killin' for me. My wife on the other hand.. LOL Granny Clampett no animals though.. I like Odd Ball in Kelly's Hero's, "That was a paint round", splat on the back of the Tiger Tank.. Ohh Crap.. Poor mechanic always gets the blame.. Hat on the floor, as I slowly walk around to the beat of the music and my faithful K9 close behind.. Olay.... |
One of my favorite, maybe THE favorite, firearms I own is a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum
six-shot, single-action revolver, with a 7 1/2 inch barrel -- a beast and cannon in your hands. Absolutely turns heads at the shooting range, folks wondering if a stick of dynamite went off. Got it for my 14th birthday in my East Tennessee home...back in the days when that wasn't weird. |

Oldhvymec, you have to try a crossbow. They have auto loaders now so you don't have to break your back getting a bolt in. We shoot Turkeys with them. The bolt has a cross shaped knife at the tip. Accurate to 50 yards. People dear hunt with them also but you have to be ready to run a bit unless you get a perfect shot off. The bolt usually goes right through them. Venison tenderloin is the best:-) |
I remember this, it was a loud weapon, mercy it was loud.. And not reliable either.. Every time I saw that or a Thompson Contender, there was gonna be a lot of noise, and somebody taking something apart.. Not my idea of having fun.. I'm glad I don't have to mess with ANY of them any more.. Everything I have was decommissioned. Everything my wife has was updated.. LOL I'm a sling shot guy.... Who are you? Major Pain ... oh shi$, what are you blind boy? Well yes I am sir.. Next seen. Both dog and the blind kid SHAVED.. Perfect.. |
@oldhvymec Dirty Harry used S&W .44 mag in all movies. .44Auto Mag was Harry's "Back up" in Sudden Impact after losing the M29. The original Pasadena made Auto Mag's are in no way related to the .22mag Auto Mag's made by AMT except Harry Sanford helped in the design. The originals offered in .44AMP, .41AMP and .357AMP are marvelous feats of engineering. The round is not a .44 Rem Mag, it is a proprietary cartridge made from .308 Winchester brass. Firing pins didn't break or fall out. Harry Sanford later sold the rights to someone who sold it to OMC/AMT which rode the name into the ground. Offering "1911ish" pistols in many unique cals. The name was again sold to a manufacturer in South Carolina. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Sanford in the early 80s, amazing man, kind of the Nelson Pass of pistols. I've also had the opportunity to shoot all of the AMP cartridges including the extremely rare .41(only 2 rounds tho) they were all very manageable. Enjoy the music |
@oldhvymec- " They are so loud because nothing escapes around a wheel,..." You’ll never see a sound suppressor on a revolver (wheel gun), unless it’s in a movie with a screenplay writer that knows nothing about weaponry (common). There’s no way to silence the blast/noise that’s emitted from the gap, between the cylinder front and barrel’s forcing cone. An automatic/semiauto/select fire can be suppressed, because by the time the breech is unlocked and casing has left the chamber, the pressure in the barrel has dissipated (projectile’s gone), even in full auto. The only thing escaping from the ejection port, should be the cartridge casing.

I thought it was a 44 auto mag. weird piece. When I’d go to the range, if one of those thing were there along with most magnums, EVERYONE would clear out.. Most folks don’t plink with magnum loads. That pile of crap you got no choice. No such thing as a light load, OR an inexpensive one.. VERY expensive to practice with. They did a 22 magnum auto mag too, serious piece of work there, rimed brass is tough to feed. He did it though.. (Max Gera) They are so loud because nothing escapes around a wheel, no ones will stand to right of it for 50 feet.. That breach opens (the barrel moves not the slide) and there is a big BOOM. Even with a brass catcher. Magnums got a serious report.. I hate umm.. Under 750 fps perfect.. 45 ACP P-12 or P-14 45 perfect. 20 clip please? .380 s/auto colt for a backup.. The firing pins would come loose or out, I can’t remember. BUT it wasn’t a quick fix in the field. Don’t drop the stupid thing in the dirt.. LOL Grabbing a BU. Main weapon quit... No No no. Fix Bayonets!!, Rocks, stand ready....THROW. THEN eat um! Long Pig. Heart first. Brain last. Personally I kept a colt on my side and a moded Kalashnikov on my shoulder. I never had an issue I didn’t walk away from pretty whole.. Lucky more than anything, and I never used after shave.. "Skin so Soft" for the mosquitoes, and "Secret" after one day, no smell, of course Black Beauties and a sock of rice, for the picnic! Brown mix to make the water or piss right. Whole new president, we’ll see.. Colt Peacemaker HELL, Kept the peace, it didn’t make peace.. Ended wars though... Me I like a sling shot. :-) Pretty good with a blow gun too.. Remember when Clint did the fluffy producer. I need to re watch that one. I can’t remember the whole plot.. BUT he was a good actor, not a typical Clint part.. BUT he did a great job.. Unforgiven, relentless!! That’s me, never say never to me... NEVER.. LOL middlemass you crack me up.. Reflect with Regards.. |
I kid you not, I saw him with my just married wife in Carmel at the Hogs Breath Inn. He was eating there, he owned the place. We were there on our honeymoon. What amazed me at the time, he had a beautiful date and two bodyguards that were HUGE, BUT he was TALL, like 6,3-4" I'm 6,1. He was a Half apple taller than anyone around him.. Our waitress asked? Would you like to see Mr. Eastwood? I laughed and turned around, they were walking people by him outside his THICK glass. He sat dead center of the room though. I said NO, let him eat the Steak and Shrimp he ordered. I love Carmel.. I think he was Mayor then. 1980-81. Toots Lagoon too. Best breakfast you could have.. Baby red potatoes with Eggs Benedict and fresh peach preserves. You could still get a ticket there for wearing high healed shoes.. Was still on the books last time we were there, 25 years ago.. NO they didn't enforce it.. I use to take her there for the whale watch. I love whales... Look one of those guys in the eye.. Your in a long boat.. Trust me it aint' that long.. LOL Orca pods are pretty cool too.. BUT they are the Clints of the water for sure, humpbacks RUN from them.. Great whites, an uncommon meal, but a meal none the less Yum, Yum.. Seals though.. Nasty creature, not bad eatin' though, DON'T cook it.. you'll gag, best raw.. Orcas think so too.. They roll Clint over AFTER he get blown up, and he's laying there and opens his eyes and says something about long moon lit walks and Le-te-da, in that gravely "GUNNY" voice.. Brock Lesnar all weippe Id'.. The big dummy.. Regards |
Good for you! An excellent thread. I'm sure most of your naysayers wouldn't dare bite off their tongue to spite you. Kudos miller carbon for some needed levity and homage to a great actor, director and producer, one of the greatest of all time. He certainly stood in the line of fire and successfully navigated the gauntlet... Not to mention holding his own with Clyde. Damn, the first thought I had about this thread was that Clint had died. Had to check the news. Glad to see it wasn't true. I have barely gotten over losing John Prine. Clint Eastwood will never die. But the day we lose him I will mourn. Even just writing the words chokes me up a little. I love movies about as much as music, and Eastwood is as big a movie star as they come. As a director he is up there with Quentin. As a producer he is up there with the, well no on second thought he totally outclassed the one I was gonna say. Come to think of it he outclasses just about everyone. He was at one point if I remember right the mayor of Carmel. Nothing unusual about famous people going into politics, but how many come out smelling like a rose? Carmel is one of the most beautiful places imaginable, and I had lunch in his Boar's Head Inn back when he still owned it and what a beautiful experience that was. There was a grace and pose about him that, well how many guys can punch a bag in front of Muhammad Ali and come off looking this good? https://youtu.be/Y3LXsEaaBX4?t=198 See what I mean? This has never been a perfect world but with Clint you imagine maybe it could be. |
