    I guess my Remington 1858 NMA .44 has more kick than the .36 Navy you fired. I have fired it single handed and if I would really try to hit something I would fire it two handed. I have the added complexity of having a dominant left eye and being right handed.

    I know your feelings Jonas. Until I went blind in my right eye it was my dominant one, and I am left handed.
    I would like to have a go with the Remmington some time, but I doubt I will ever get the chance now as even my left eye is very short sighted.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Funny that, I'm also left-handed! Although learning to do everything right handed does have the benefit of being able to swap hands when I get tired.
    And going back to the footage, I managed to win the trophy during our time at the range using a certain doglock
    No-one expects a ship full of dwarves.

    I had a .44 Colt Navy Revolver from Pietta/Italy.
