Mr.Lowell is your prised Beesly a reformed cOwboy gun ?
Show us some barrel man, don't be affraid. They say it's not how long it is...it's how you use it....But you need enough length to burn the full load prior to discharge.

Gotta use your imagination! That "The inches are all there, you just need to use your imagination" line may have worked on your wife but it doesn't look like it's gonna work on this crowd  . Cody
Tact is for those not clever enough to be sarcastic

Cody looks like he's not going to show us the whole package.
Nothing to be ashamed of Lowell...unless you chopped it.

Thornys Beesley: Another view 
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

A note on 'cowboy' usage:
I commited an obvious oversight in my branding of that clan in it's entirity, as Hollywood movie-imitator action-slammers. Right here on this board we have some genuine SouthWestern horsemen and CAS shooters who most assuredly do NOT slam their prized blasters about in the manner so beloved by gun-ignorant directors. They have good track records as double-gun savvy board participants AND wonderful photos of of their horses and rigs for the shooting sport they love so well.
It is quite true that the entertainment media has committed numerous felonies against the accurate representation of actual firearms usage. A comprehensive list would be quite tedious, but it would go pretty far back in celluoid history. There is everything there as innocent as the famous 'roll the cylinder down the forearm' to the modern full-auto epics where the sole hero runs unscathed thru a firestorm fit to decimate an attacking regiment.
In fact, in the modern cowboy-iconic movie "Tombstone", which did strive for accurate representaions of period weaponry and costumes, I believe one the principals -- mebbe even
Wyatt, hissownse'f -- slams his 'three-trigger' shotgun shut with a flick of the wrist. The shotgun was reported to be researched as an actual model ol' Mr. Earp used, and prepared by one of the 'movie gun' companies.
It's easy to see how everything from the now-famous 'gansta-gun' sideways pistol to closed doors being blown off the hinges by a sawed-off have becom embedded in the popular gun mythology. Prolly nothing here in the post new to most of us, but in recognition the CAS folks on this board, who know what-of they do, I felt this footnote was in order.
BTW, Lowell G.; the Beesley is lovely as ever and the "modern romance" reply was as classic and classy piece of repartee as I've heard in a long time. Congrats on such gentle wit; I'm envious! ;~`)
Relax; we're all experts here.
