Having read all of Teddy Roosevelt's books on Africa as a kid it is still my top bucket list continent to visit. On the topic of dropping guns: We recently almost lost one of our retired fire captains to an AD caused when he tried to catch a loaded revolver that he dropped putting into his safe. He has a number of revolvers so I don't know if the one involved was drop safe. I was also ways taught to let the gun fall rather than trying to catch it for this exact reason. Thankfully he is going to make a full recovery, though he is now short some intestine.
My cousin does taxidermy. He went to an African safari and came back with a lion and mounted it standing up. Another dude I met years ago when I worked for BestBuy was about to go on two hunting trips on the extremes. One was an African safari and he was looking for a video camera that could handle the rough handling and sand because he had killed several camcorders and cameras in past hunts. Then he was going to north Alaska to hunt polar bears a few weeks after he got back from Africa.
When you do talk about the Africa trip on a future episode, talk about the logistics of what you did with your quarry post-facto. i.e. did you donate the animal to someone? Did you get to have X animal steaks that night and donate the rest? Will you have mounted trophy heads, etc.
When Remington went bankrupt a couple of years ago, PSA bought the H&R name and found some really good guys to run it for them. They announced a bunch of guns at SHOT show last year. They are extremely authentic to the originals with very few allowances that had to be done to make them commercially viable.
'Pre-Series 80' might be a better way to label 1911 pattern pistols lacking the firing pin block, since that was the original design, way before the Series 70.
