Help me understand this...

That's gorgeous. Since I haven't handled one, the lifter mechanism looks cumbersome and tough to use. I imagine that's what I said to myself when I saw a photo of a Leica M2 many years ago. Never took a second look. Then someone handed one to me. Game over, I own one now. Do NOT hand me that gun! I'm going to try to get to the SxS events at Hausmann's and Rock Mountain this year. Both within 60 minutes of my house. I would assume I'd meet someone from this board at those events??

In short yes. Either place throw a rock and you are likely to hit someone that posts on this board. Warning, once you expose yourself to this environment the slope of the grade may require ropes. Tips, befriend yourself to the dapper gentleman driving the JD Gator. The guy hollering Grace, follow him. He's going to either stumble on to a super 28ga., or a circle of Parker people.
Don't bet a 28ga. round with the guy who names his dogs things like Parker and Fox.
