Hi Saxon Violence,

Welcome - glad to have you here!

Love your username - it immediately put me in mind of broadswords and maces, et al. If only Hastings had gone the other way, eh?

As a lifelong writer and editor, I admit to sharing your "ugly chop" peeve. My list of language sins is considerably longer…

I'm with you 100% re: Cooper and Browning!! I'm also very intrigued by your plan to scratch-build revolvers. Do you have any unique feature(s) in mind or will you be replicating an existing design?

Hope you got some sleep…

Ken
