... not seeing Munden's name in all the names mentioned below, I happened upon a great piece by JT over on "sixguns.com." (Bob passed in 2012.)

I'VE GOT A DAUGHTER IN LAW THAT WAS TOTALLY AGAINST HAVING A GUN IN THE HOUSE - EVEN THOUGH MY SON GREW UP SHOOTING IN THE BACK YARD -- AND SHE'S FROM ANCHORAGE OF ALL PLACES ! YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D BE THAT WAY
AFTER A REAL LOONY CAME IN THE STORE ONE DAY WHEN SHE WAS THERE (THANKFULLY THEIR OFF DUTY COP EMPLOYEE WAS WALKING IN THE DOOR) THE SON FINALLY GOT HER TO COME ON OUT & SHOOT A 20 GAUGE A COUPLE OF TIMES -- I GAVE HER THE OLD PARACHUTE COMPARISON -- WHEN YOU REALLY NEED ONE - IF YOU AINT GOT ONE -- CHANCES ARE PRETTY HIGH YOU'LL NEVER NEED ONE AGAIN
ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS PRETTY STUPID & SCARED ACTING BUT SHE SHOT IT TWICE
SOMEHOW SHE STUMBLED ONTO A BOB MUNDEN VIDEO ON YOUTUBE & SENT IT TO ME -- I TOLD HER -- WELL YEAH BUT REALISTICALLY MUNDEN WASNT FROM THIS PLANET --HE WAS FROM ANOTHER WORLD
NEVERTHELESS SHE WAS FASCINATED & COMPLETELY HOOKED
SO HE DESERVES ALL THE CREDIT FOR OPENING UP THIS POOR MISGUIDED LITTLE GIRLS EYES
THANKS BOB

I often read here but have never posted before.
A few years ago in a Birmingham local gun shop I got on my knees to look at the back of the bottom shelf where a few Ruger SA's were hiding. There at the bottom of a tag were the simple words "Munden action". It was an original Ruger Vaquero 5-1/2" .44 mag and indeed in the box was the documentation for a #1 Munden action. It now lives at my house as my perfect packin' pistol. My 75 year old hands don't like .44 mag much anymore but it is very accurate with .44 Specials. Best $600 I've ever spent.
