Yep.....time to start saving for a Nambu. Do they make the rounds if an order is sent in? They have no units in stock.

Is that the Type 26 revolver??? Handloaders Manual of Cartridge Conversions says 38 special brass with rims thinned to .028"/.030" and trimmed to .862" case length can be used, but requires a shim when priming or rim may rip off...

All the more reason to find a professional to do it. If OWS is willing to do it, why not? And a revolver is not picky when it comes to ammo. As long as its not loaded too hot, it might make a fun lil' range toy!

Then you'd better have some advice on how to take a selfie using either a BlackBerry Tour or a Kodak EasyShare...I've been trying to get a shot of myself and so far this is the best I can come up with...(We are the Borg...Resistance Is Futile)...

I've tried focusing on the shirt, focusing on the mirror, using the timer and running in front, all no good...EasyShare shutter button has to be held to first stage to focus then second stage to snap pic...BlackBerry has the screen on the front and the camera apaerture on the back; I can't see what I'm shooting on a selfie...

I am not skilled at the art of selfies. But I think you got a good first try! Shirt looks good too.

My body is all baggy and wrinkled...We can't all have the wasp waist, washboard abs, and muscled shoulders you have, Jerry...

Must be from all that jumping out of aeroplanes...

I saw a t-shirt that proclaimed that "I would rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner". A little non-PC but reflective of the Luger vs. Nambu mind set.

Hey, nothing wrong with having both!.....I like mine, just wish ammo (or loading dies) were cheaper.

And if you own a Harley long enough, you will be pushing it at some point.

I'll raise you one on the non-PC front , Ron.

Q. Whats the difference between a Hoover vacuum cleaner and a Harley?

A. The position of the dirtbag.

That is so true. If you want to own a Harley, you have to ask yourself if it is worth pushing five miles...I pushed my XR-1000 five miles, and some years before that, I pushed my Norton Atlas five miles...

I've owned motorcycles since I was 18 [ 47 years now] and have always owned at least one and sometimes as many as five at once...Right now, I'm down to two...But if anybody needs an engine for a Honda 550-Four, I have three spares available...

Sigh...I miss my 400 Four...it was way ahead of its time. Its little engine had a 10,500 rpm redline in 1976!

These are the two I have now...The blue 450 is licensed & registered; the 500Four is going back together slowly...It's a long term project, I bought one like this brand new in 1972 and have had "unfinished business" with 500Fours since then...

Neither would do the ton, even when new...95 tops...It was thought back then that Honda had deliberately de-tuned them, so as not to embarass the CB750, which would only do 112...

My goodness, those bicycles are awfully pretty but aren't they hard to pedal?

On road, sometimes I saw people driving motorcycles, occasionally could appear in big group of 30 or 50 (probably from clubs)... Especially in New Hampshire area. Aren't these bikes noisy when driving? curious...

Yes you're absolutely right Ron, and by the way I'have always wished to own a Harley and look like one of those rough bikers...

Different version.

What's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

The Harley will hold two dirtbags!

Kidding!
