Who remembers this....?

Nostalgia big time! Kinda funny- caps are actually hard to come up now a days. I bought a all metal 8 shot ring cap gun for a little tyke for Christmas, went to 8 stores trying to find caps. Even Amazon and others have deemed them "explosive" Finally ended up buying a couple cheap plastic guns from Walmart just for the caps included with them. Felt bad, almost like gifting a non-reloader a 25 wssm!

Worst punishment ever was when my cousin Paul was hogging the caps so I cracked his ear with the butt of my six shooter. My whole outfit got taken away seemed like forever!!! I was bawling those big crocodile tears to my Gram but even she was in the loop. WOW!

Man those were the good ol days I loved the smell of those things after rapid fire

I have a few of those pistols and belts and holsters.
Really wish I could find some rolls of caps,

My brother and I were so eat up with them I had a Vaquero engraved for his retirement to match his old cap pistol.

He was a conventional draw and I was cross draw. I usually lost, but I looked cooler!

Here is the Vaquero

Thanks Len, that trip to days gone by truly made my day! I can smell the smoke and hear my little brother laugh as mom hollered at us to"take those stinkin things outside". I sure do miss them both!

What a wonderful world we came from. And to end up in this bag of fertilizer.

We robbed too many candy stores with these weapons. They had to let us go because they could not compare the ballistics for these firearms!!!

I have a couple in the garage. Need to go dig them out now!

Well yeah, I had a set, plastic holsters and all, those were fun days has a child. Kids today will never know what they've missed, it's a shame.

Another shame is that there are no longer any positive role models on tv or in the movies.

No wonder the world is going to heck when all the kids see growing up is that evil wins.
