Guess I saw Maureen O'Hara in Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, McClintock!, Big Jake, and Wings of Eagles too many times.

my deck isn't much better than that (reply)

I use it for a quick and dirty background, usually it really is pretty dirty.

BINGO! (reply)

Ordinary GREEN would almost certainly be too coarse, so I would probably start with GRAY. If the supermarket doesn't have them, you can usually get the different colors at the hardware store.

Stangely enough − or maybe not so strange − it also works better with OIL. (A LOT better.) Ordinary 'gun oil' is fine.

HTH

PS: Nice gun.

Came off an old barn locally. Fell off the dump truck hauling the demolition debris away. I pulled it out of the road and decided to keep it to use as a background for pictures. Cut the planks up into usable pieces and it has been my stand-by background ever since. :)

Dang, someone needs to refinish the front porch! (reply)

that shiny handguns or pretty redheads are ever a bad choice. The fact that I quit trying decades ago just might have something to do with it, though ;)

Nice Kimber!

Doh - forgot to use img code (reply)

BBQ Kimber

This one followed me home today. I usually don't go for such guns, but the price was just at what I considered was "can't lose" and the trigger is phenomenal. It is a Kimber Pro CDP II that someone polished the stainless slide and stripped off the Kimber "paint" off the aluminum frame. They didn't do a perfect polish job, but it is a darn good one. This thing is shiny as a new nickel. Truth be told, if I keep it, I'll probably scotch-brite it down to a matte finish again, as the high polish produces a lot of glare in outdoor shooting light. However, it sure is a spiffy looking gun. I reckon I could get away with it at a BBQ.
