I was resting it on a little sandbag on the hood of his Chevy pickup. When I got done shooting I noticed the big fan-shaped black area in front of where I had been shooting. It burned the paint and never did come off.

When I was young I loved the 454. It was the hottest revolver going at the time. Paco and I did crazy stuff with them. When I entered my 60's I realized my wrists and fingers .. while a little beat up ... still worked OK. John Taffin and other friends had already had surgeries on their hands. I decided to quit the hard recoiling sixguns and sold and traded them off.
