Of course he had to for .22 rimfire and such. He was born in 1899 or so, the time frame had to be in the teens. He was 12 in 1911 when hurt in the fire. His C&B escapades might have been a bit before then, and in MS? I think the fire was when they first got to MT?

The prospect of having like calibers in rifle and handgun must have had to been by desire, rather than happenstance. I can see how handy that could have been. Again, no .25-20 handguns nor .45 Colt Carbines. In real life it was pretty limited. Thank heavens for the .22 rimfire!
