I can make a more "manly" size by adding one shell, and different beads. They're really comfy and fun.
Yep, 6 shells fit me fine.

All my brass is brass, except for my $1/shot carry ammo.

If you have some nickel cases, 9mm or 40sw, and can spare some, hook Karin up.

OK, I'll add to the pot for the guys. These are 9 1/2" Bang Bang bracelets and as DAB said, the 6 shell size fits him well.



I'm heading out of town shortly so I'll be out of touch for a few hours. I'll have both sets with me ready to ship as soon as there is a taker.

I really like the nickel with pearls and they don't tarnish like the brass does.

I've got a WinTex cold weather, 2 piece, riding suit that's been sitting in my closet for 13 years. It's in excellent condition. It's an XL, but it's European, so it runs a bit small. I'm 5' 10", 190 lbs and it fit fine. I hadn't ever heard of the stuff, but a friend of mine with a motorcycle shop was a distributer. It's quality stuff. Blue and black. I'll post pics tonight.

come April, i'll cycle out my carry ammo and get new. i'll shoot it up and save the cases.

my annual 'new ammo' habit, since April is my birth month. should have 40 cases of 40sw, and 25 cases of 9mm. well, 37 of 40, had to shoot a few at bad dogs last few months and couldn't find the cases yet.

Yeah man

Reminds me of this classic flick filled with tongue in cheek humor.

I couldn't find any 9mm or 40sw, but I have some .38 and .357 nickel cases if you want them. Just PM an address and I will send them to you. I didn't count them, but at least 20 or 30 of each.

That is so cool. May I ask for the bracelet if no one else has?
I'll ask J and my sons if they have any nickel.

They're yours Lisa! Will ship tomorrow! Shoot, I could almost deliver them faster. I'm in Gulfport right now. No need to send me an address as long as it hasn't changed in 2 years.
