Something Stupid I Got Away With

In the way back days when Colt still made Anacondas I bought a brand new in box 4" barreled .45 Colt version.

Being the tinkering kind, I also bought a set of Hogue grips for it.

Because it was a super-tight fit there was much wrestling with the gun and am certain I pointed it at various parts of my anatomy more than once.

When I finally got them on the gun I noticed two things.

First, I'd managed to cock it.

Second, I'd forgotten to unload it.

Who knows how close to shooting my dumb ass I'd come.

It's sobering.

  2. When I was younger I did things that set my teeth on edge whenever I care to contemplate them. That's why I avoid taking chances now, I figure I've had all the gimmees Murphy and Darwin are going to allow me.
