1) The Walker Colt weighed 9 pounds; 2) Remington brought out the top strap 1858 after the Colt patent ran out; 3) Elmer Keith invented the .357 Magnum; 4) the .44-40 1st arrived in the 1866 Winchester; 5) Winchester bought the company from B. Tyler Henry.
If ignorance is bliss these folks should be deliriously happy.
IT looks like the foundation for a good article

The clarifications.
It is a bit trying to use the internet for research with all the misinformation. It can still be successful but it does require some effort and basic intelligence to root out facts without bias. Even the bias of the researcher, you have to have a scientific method mentality and let the data show the outcome.
I guess it existed with books to some extent (misinformation) but it seemed that folks smart and determined enough to write and get a book published were also of a type to get their facts straight in the process.
My library, while bulky and archaic, still has some valued validity. The Taffin works are paramount in the handgun/levergun field of study. Heck, the pictures are going to be even more appreciated in the future. The simple assemblage of such pieces in one work.

I FOUND MYSELF TOTALLY OUT OF 17 FIREBALL BRASS - I WAS BOUND & DETERMINED TO FIGGER OUT HOW TO MAKE IT OUT OF STANDARD 223 BRASS SINCE IT WAS EVERYWHERE - THAT IS WITHOUT SPENDING 300 BUCKS ON SOME REDDING OR RCBS DIES -- JOINED ALL THE FORUMS & I MEAN ALL OF THEM -- TILL THEN NOTHING I TRIED WORKED WITH ANY KIND OF ACCEPTABLE CONSISTENCY
FINALLY RAN INTO A GUY THAT SUGGESTED A REDDING 221 FORM & TRIM DIE -- IT WAS ONLY $30 SO I GAVE IT A TRY
IT ACTUALLY WORKS -- I CAN NOW BRING DOWN 223 BRASS TO ANY SMALLER DERIVATIVE THERE IS -- OF COURSE YOU GOTTA DO THE NECK THING BUT I CAN GET TO A SIZE CLOSE ENOUGH TO USE YOUR OWN REGULAR DIES -- REDDING FORM & TRIM 221 83101
THATS AN INTERNET FACT ! FROM 17 FIREBALL 20 VARTARG 222 17-222 YOU NAME IT
Cool beans! Some are gonna say you be lyin'

forever. The 17 Fireball should tell anyone it is a 221 Fireball case necked to 17. And 221 Fireball brass can be made from 223 or 222 or 222 Rem. Mag. Some people just like to argue.
Any subject matter expert will find on the internet

that 90% of everything on the net is wrong regarding that subject.
So, of course, this is where majority of population turns when they want information.
And the the same folk wonder why the world seems to be coming apart at the seams.
I can't watch the internet programs especially

if it has to do with guns or hunting. They are all so full of BS and the hunting shows are all fake. I read the posts on here and then shut it down.
I'm guessing 99.999% of Misfits know all of
