Saxon,

Yes, it is the same parentage. The current chain bears little resemblance to the original sporting goods store. Sorta like comparing the current Abercromby & Fitch to the original...completely different animals now...too bad!

Lee,

I bought a 5" nickel M1926 from David at the SWCA show back in '05. You don't think he got mixed up and sold me his old duty gun do you?
