Early Spring range trip with 45 Colt Henry carbine and company

Well took a well needed break along with a great break in the weather to take my Henry 45 Colt carbine down to my Bullseye Saloon. Brought along my pair of 45 Colt backup buddies too...the EL MALO twins in case of trouble at the Saloon as it has been 2 months since last trip! :D
Love this older tube loading Henry with it's short 16.5 inch octagonal barrel...the nice looking CC finish and it just cycles like slick glass and shoots really well! Now it has been a while since I pulled a revolver trigger and for some reason I shot the steel better with my righthand vs. my left and I am a Lefty but that soon cleared up. Was GREAT medicine to get out there again and also walk the trail to the creek!.

Nice, glad you had some nice weather and took advantage of it. The ole 45 colts are a fun caliber for sure. Lookin good there buddy.
As matter of fact I took advantage of some nice weather and being off last Friday and shot a few of mine.
