When I pick up a 1911, it feels like I’m shaking hands with an old, cherished friend. Our relationship began 60 years ago, when I was in the Air Force, and tried my hand at Bullseye shooting. In the ensuing decades the old warhorse (in a variety of costumes) acted as a home-defense gun, accompanied me on a variety of handgun hunts, participated in many writer events at Gunsite Academy and always had my back.

As a long-term fan of the classic wheelgun, I’m delighted to see resurgent interest in revolvers. New models are being offered by both existing handgun manufacturers and some long-gun factories, plus many hopeful CCW applicants are showing up with revolvers at the qualification training classes.

An old adage says it takes a village to raise a child. In the case of Sedona’s Red Rock trails, it takes more than a village. And the Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund does many things to inspire and involve different groups to get involved. According to a recently completed census report, our trails are enjoyed annually by over 2.2 million hikers, bikers and equestrians — as well as more than 111,000 dogs.

Back in the day, I recall some chatter about issuing short-barreled .44 Mag. revolvers to police officers. This was prior to the massive acceptance of 9 mm ammunition as the dominant defensive-handgun round worldwide. I personally know one rural cop who actually carried a .44 Mag. on duty, but I’m unaware of any department that officially adopted the big magnum cartridge. Only one agency (San Antonio PD, I believe) briefly went with the slightly less powerful and newer .41 Mag.

By now, you’d have to be living in a cave (digital or otherwise) to not know about the Taurus Judge revolver. Capable of firing both 2.5-inch, .410-bore shotshells and .45 Colt ammunition, it has been one of the best-selling firearms in Taurus’ portfolio since its introduction in 2006. To most experts, it has been more of an afternoon plinking and “Hey, check this out” among friends (which, of course, is entirely acceptable) pistol, but sales don’t lie.

No one outruns Father Time. The idea is to prolong the race as long as possible keeping the old tyrant located in your rearview mirror while you enjoy doing all the things you dreamed of doing back when you were working your day job. Obviously as skills deteriorate you must tailor your activities commensurate with your remaining capabilities. You don’t concede the race you simply modify your tactics and techniques while maintaining focus on your dreams.
