At the J Bar T in Mt Vernon. With someone, likely Miles.

The revolver and the cartridge intrigued me from the word go. Still does.

I am the 1st person on the planet to shoot a hedgeapple with one.

I saw the revolver before the work was done on it. It had brass backstrap and trigger guard before it was converted, didn't it? And a very low, sorta crude polish?
