I'm still trying to figure out if you have more revolvers in your collection or posts in the funny pictures thread. 
Another new pickup...Freedom Arms Model 83 .454 Casull. I've already sourced a supply of Federal ammunition which should be here before the week is out.
I know this is from a post that was several pages back, but there's a story associated with that 41 Mag Blackhawk with the ivory grips.

When we still lived on the farm, (we moved to town in 1972, so this was a good while ago) Dad was driving in one night to go to work - he pulled the 8 pm - 4 am shift as the lone on-duty police officer in my hometown of 2,000 people. As he was driving in, he saw a coyote running down the road, and it didn't run off as he pulled up, so Dad rolled down the window of the pickup, got the pistol from his holster (he could carry whatever gun he wanted) pulled up alongside the coyote, and while driving, took a shot. After he fired, he quickly re-cocked the gun, tracked around and fired again as the coyote was going down, and in doing so about put the pickup in the ditch.
He hit that coyote with both shots. He was proud enough of this feat that he wrote to Elmer Keith to tell him about it. Elmer always tried to answer his correspondence and wrote a letter back saying that he'd shot many things from a running horse, but never from a moving vehicle.
I heard my Dad tell that story a couple of times, which was pretty neat, but it's even neater reading the letter from Elmer Keith.
Inquiring minds want to know.
