Its also history that a Texas Ranger: captain Walker championed his cause to President Pope who decided to buy these for the military.
When Colt got his first order he didn't have a factory but had to outsourcing his manufacturing to different blacksmiths for the metal parts.

Felling good! I feel real good today. Last night I started cleaning out my closets. After about 2hrs I had a pickup truck load of cloths,most of them I haven't touched in 3-4 years. Then today I gave them to Healing Hands International to send overseas. Could this qualify for Lent? Giving up less clutter, less mess?
My goal: Only own what I will wear?
Give the rest away.

"The quality of your relationships will determine the outcome of events when there is a problem or issue with price, delivery, quality or service. I'm 'Not' saying that if you have a great relationship you can ignore important issues and skate by -- I AM saying that a great relationship will act as a buffer, and allow all problems and issues to be resolved harmoniously." -- Jeffrey Gitomer
