He does use the auto! I stand corrected.
And what an awesome scene!

He had several semi-autos, a Savage 1907 as well as the Colt 1903 and 1908.
And his revolver was a .357mag., cutting edge back in the day!
Nothing better than a shovel head at idle. They even feel awesome sitting on them at an idle.
I no longer qualify as a source, but before I lost my mind, I would have said he carried a .357 and a .45 Colt, both Ivory stocked.
One had notches from a gunfight he had riding with Pershing down south after banditos ...

Of course you hands go numb after an hour, and the mirrors are pretty useless.
I hated selling her, but I really needed the money, and more and more people started using their phones while driving (as if riding isn’t dangerous enough). I have a couple amusing stories involving this motorcycle, Kerry von Erich, and a vice- presidential motorcade.
I believe that is true, now that you mention it, but I'm no Patton historian.

I no longer ride, it is just too dangerous Owen.

First story happened to my buddy, the previous owner of the bike, around the late 80s. He walked out of the bar and saw someone sitting on his bike, hunched over the handlebars. My friend is a pretty big, and tough, guy. He walked up and gave a shove on the shoulders that would send most men flying. Not this time- the guy was a rock. The guy woke up, stood up, dismounted, and started advancing. My buddy is not one to get nervous, but he knew this was going to be a problem. He recognized him right off. A cop had just pulled in a second ago. He comes up to the two and says “Kerry, you’re stoned. Get your butt (another word, actually) home now”. So, he came about a hair’s breadth from having to fight Kerry von Erich.Of course you hands go numb after an hour, and the mirrors are pretty useless.
Once again, Google comes through. Now know who Kerry von Erich was.

He was a professional wrestler.

Sorry, he was a professional wrestler (and a very large man).

Got to use my EDC today. No, not a gun, my Case pocket knife. Had to cut away some 200 PSI hose from the water side of a hydraulic heat exchanger. I couldn’t pull the dang hose off of the fitting. It went right through that hose. As a Senior Lead Tech, it isn’t often I play in the pump room. I’ve usually got other guys to do that for me.
I’ve never been a Case fan, but that sir, that’s a nice knife.

Thanks. I picked it up at a Case outlet store when I was in Branson. It is a limited edition of 150 made for that store. I really like the engraved bolsters, and one handed operation is a cinch

A raccoon riding a feral hog into battle against an opossum. 2020 is messed up.
This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen ...
That is one huge Grinner; he easily has a chance against the Racko-Cav.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a possum that big. Big pig too.
As a knife guy, I approve of this new Hellfire Missile ...
It is a variation of the Hellfire anti-tank missile, referred to as the R9X, and internally called the "Flying Ginsu" or the "ninja bomb," and it just might drastically shape the way war is waged given its exactitude and subsequent ability to vastly reduce the risk of collateral damage and civilian casualties.
"The reference to knives is no accident, as it features multiple steel blades that emerge from the missile moments before impact," Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) told Fox News.
