I want to take the chance to clear the air on this topic and say that I acted too quickly and out of irritation by starting this thread. And I should have stuck with my original gut instinct and kept the other party involved nameless.

I never ever thought this would have turned into what it has. I knew, as per my original comments that some similar cases would arrise where others have been through a similar scenario in the past, espacially since I am sure than many of us are collectors of the fine style of gun that this fine site is dedicated to.

I would like to apologize to anyone that may have had undue stress caused as a result of my shooting from the hip.
Truce?
