so this gun does not have an ejector to just pop out the cases after firing? i've been looking at getting one myself.

So i went on S&W's website and see under the "classic" section that they still make the 1917 (they call m22). what's the difference between this modern offering versus indy's? :-s They are expensive. But still considering one. I'll be getting my pistol permit soon and love the look of ...

Well Ladies and Gents... Sorry for the fire drill, but i have shifted gears completely! I've beem PMing Bending Oak with some questions and... I've decided to wait a month or so and order a Penman Rabbit Raiders! To me it seems worth it to have a raiders fedora that has been painstakingly hand made ...

unfortunately cost is a factor, but i think i'll hold out to Christmas time and sweet talk the Mrs. She knows i really want an AB someday. but honestly i am really looking for a good solid hat with at least an inch think felt, kinda like this... http://www.pwned.com/gamecovers/xbox360/71f6f3b76d4964...

Another Big question......

Is the Henry more SA / better built than the Fed IV? Is it worth the $100 more? Which one could i wear everyday and not be dead in a year?

and whos Henry is better? Penman or Kitter?

why demineralized? I have just used a clothes steamer in the past with no issues. Does this felt react to tap water? and if so can it not be wore in the rain? Just curious. about size: i'm on the fence because i measure exactly 56, but don't want to end up with another tight hat. I think I may be me...

OOOH i get it :D well, i have definately decided on the fed IV. Now to make sure i get the right size. My first and current hat (sad to say DP, but at least the fur felt) has shrunk like crazy and is cutting off circulation to my knogg'n. :Dietrich: I really wish i had discovered this site before i ...

I'm very much leaning toward the Fed Deluxe. However, i hear the brim is huge. Some have been trimming, taking an 1/8in off. How do you do that? Is there a special tool?

I'm on a budget here so be gentle.

looking for the best / SA Raiders for $200.00USD or less.

Any opinions?

Sorry i haven't got pics up yet. I've decided to hit it again using "Fedora"'s method. I'll keep ya posted. But seriously how could i go wrong with advice from the best!

I'm not all that proud to say that i am currently sporting a DP fur-felt fedora. I bought this before i found this site. oops. I am saving for an AB but that takes awhile. So for now I wear my "offical" Indy hat everyday. Sooo... I followed in IndyFalco's footsteps and rebashed my lid to t...

So does Steve just reblock them and spruce them up? HJ is a whole different company than AB.

or...

Does steve make them hisself and if so why doesn't he call them AB's like they are?

I'm saving for my AB and have a question... :-k Ok, i know Herbert Johnson made the hats for the original three and Steve/Marc made the KOTCS hats. So what are people talking about when they say Steve is making a HJ or Magnolia? Is it just a style or did AB buy the copyright? Is it different than St...

I lost a hat once. Wasn't an Indy hat though. I was going to Florida and when i was in the Marines a general had given me a General Dynamics Land Systems hat, they make the M1A1 Tank. So on the way down i stopped for lunch and forgot it there as i always take off my lid to dine. i stopped on the way...

Well i followed your lead and rebashed my fur felt dorfman. and wow what a difference, although i stayed away from the fullers earth since i wear mine daily to work. I didn't realize when i bought it how un-SA it was, this was a much needed improvement. now i can live with it until i can save up for...
