LE and S&W I was on the test team when MSP was changing from Smith revolvers to auto loaders in the late 80's. Of the three test guns of Sig, Glock and Beretta the winner was Sig. But Beretta got and continues to own the bid. Why? Well they did build a gun factory in Maryland. IMO Smith did...

Nice for tree rats!

Hawken .50 cal A good friend just gave me my first black powder as a birthday gift. An early 80's Hawken 50 cal. Shot it three times and took a nice doe with it the next day. I love the old school stuff. Gets you back to real hunting. My recurve is a Fred Bear 50 lb draw with no sights. Enjoy...

You are a fine craftsman. There are a few things I am very good at and none include craftmaship and/or artistic abillity. Most of the guys I hunt with make a living with their hands and I'm afraid it is a dying breed in our country. What a great gift you are giving your grandson.

Never came up during my career as a state trooper. Let's face it, tickets mean revenue and at least on the east coast that monster was born in the early 70's with federally funded speed enforcement.

Thank you Joni Lynn
