We posted the original B&W of this photo back in April. We colorized it using Grok Ai and think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? The Colonel having a little fun with the Striker! What’s not to love about a #12gauge #revolver ?

Random Quote:

Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.
