Gratuitous Gun Pic: Pietta King Trio

Gratuitous Gun Pics

Loyal Reader Mike S. (thankee) sends me this lovely pic of a gun (or a pic of a lovely gun, whatever):

Note the extra cylinders.  These will be explained later.  But first, a close-up:

I don’t care who you are, that’s a purty lil’ thang right there, yessirree.

“But Kim… what’s it chambered in?”

According to the article Reader Mike so thoughtfully provided:

A close copy clone of a Colt Single Action Army (SAA), the King Trio comes with three cylinders, making it capable of shooting four different cartridges, earning King status on versatility for six-shooters.

And the boolets?

First up is the .38 Super. The .38 Super came out in the late 1920s and is a favorite cartridge for Mexicans. Being illegal to own firearms capable of shooting cartridges of war like 9mm and .45 ACP, the .38 Super is a popular choice by having the power to take care of business in the famous 1911 platform.  Having a cylinder for .38 Super adds to the versatility of the King Trio revolver while upping the cool factor by 10!

Next is the .357 Magnum/.38 Special cylinder. Who doesn’t love the power of the .357 Magnum? Capable of taking deer-sized game, as well as being a proven one-shot man stopper, the .357 may be our most balanced and practical cartridge for everyday chores.

That .38 Special can be fired in the same cylinder, making it doubly good!  Usually abundant and cheaper than most ammunition, the mild loads are great for practice, small game and teaching youth how to shoot without all the nasty muzzle-blast the .357 Magnum is known for.

Lastly, we have the 9mm. For plain plinking fun and varmints, the 9mm is hard to beat.

As any fule kno, I’m not a huge fan of the last-mentioned.  But the ammo is cheaper than almost anything except .22 LR, and I bet it’s great fun to shoot those teeny lil’ Europellets out of a honking big revolver like the Trio.

Can you say “Governor’s BBQ Gun”, children?

Okay…

Men & Women

You shouldn’t harass your ex-girlfriend, even if she is a House Representative from California:

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) has filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, alleging months of “persistent abuse and harassment” in the form of repeatedly contacting her family, staff, and fellow lawmakers and causing “significant fear for [her] personal safety and well-being.”

He sounds like a proper tool.  But that’s not why I’m posting this story.  Here’s the harassee:

I make no comment, but there are questions to be asked.

News Roundup

Bad News

Let’s start off with some The Great Cultural Assimilation Project© news:


...just keeping their Old Country “rape” tradition alive.


...another of those unforeseen consequences, no doubt.


...how is this asshole still relevant?  Aren’t there any old gangsters’ safes left for him to open anymore?


...doing his bit for the Glueball Jewhate.  And speaking of jihad:


...I was amazed to see that they were Jewish.

And from the Dept. of Education:


...I have a few ideas myself, but most would probably draw the attention of law enforcement.
#ShutUpKim


...featuring fried chicken and chitlins study aids.

Now for some news:


...all together now:  “Awwwww…”

And in the We All Knew That Duh department:


...considering that all Republican women are stronger than the typical emasculated Democrat man, this is scarcely surprising.  And speaking of emasculation:


...of course, it’s not your fairy marketing that sucks, it’s all the fault of your customers.


...I’m reminded of our college parties back in the 70s.  Except for the razors, maybe.

And now for some 

         ...well, she kinda is.


...it’s always a pleasure when Good Golly Miss Holly shows off her legs:

Here she is as a youngin:

And on that leggy note, we end this Roundup.

Save The Wales

Eco-Crap, Terrorism

This is a strange one:

One of America’s most wanted terror suspects has been tracked down and arrested in rural Wales some 21 years after a double bombing attack in San Francisco.

Wales?

The BBC reports Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, is in custody after an operation Monday backed by counter terrorist police and North Wales Police.

The fugitive now faces extradition to the U.S. after being arrested at a remote property near woodland in north Wales by Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA).

The NCA said the Berkeley, California-born runaway was arrested at the request of U.S. authorities and appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday, where extradition proceedings began.

Okay, the “Berkeley” part makes sense, but…

The FBI has previously called the suspect an “animal rights extremist” and was the first alleged domestic terrorist to be added to the U.S. agency’s most wanted terrorists list.

Ooooh, an eco-terrorist. (Now does the title of the post make sense?)

I suggest that he be reunited with his beloved Mother Nature en route back to the U.S. in the usual manner, from 10,000 feet up:

Ocean, prairie, jungle, Berkeley, Wales, whatever.  I’m not fussy.

Or if we wanted to make the punishment fit the crime, we could always borrow a pager from some other terrorist and duct-tape it to his scrotum.

Potato, potahto.

Commies Gonna Commie

Marxists

Needless to say, the Left is following their usual modus operandi  when something happens they disagree with:

Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted with dangerous threats over the last 24 hours, the Trump team announced on Wednesday.

“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them. These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Apparently, Law Enforcement is all over this one.

“The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners,” the bureau said. “We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.”

Uh huh.  I’ll believe it when I see a few perp walks.  Sorry, Fibbies, but your standing with people like me is lower than shark shit.  [200 reasons omitted for brevity]
