I purchased this Model 39 with elephant ivory grips on Gun Broker in December. My Son had made Eagle Scout and I thought it was appropriate. In the ad it was stated the grips were made by Saul Weisenfeld over 25 years ago. The ad had run multiple times. The State of Virginia recently had a...

My Son and I are confirmed TCM addicts. It's great acting when it was a great Hollywood. Modern movies just do not compare. We sat and watched To Kill A Mockingbird with Gregory Peck last week when it snowed. My Son who is 13yrs old was way more interested in that than a game boy, play station...

For those of us that shoot and reload 32 S&W Long or 32 H&R Magnum guns like this can be very cool. There was a time when I had a few extra Pre 16 barrel's and cylinder's. A 32 target masterpiece would be very easy to assemble from these parts by an excellent gunsmith using a 38 caliber gun...

To celebrate the centennial of the 1911 Browning came out with a really neat scaled down 1911 in 22LR. This is the standard model not the compact. Comes with 3 magazines that all function proper, Browning IWB clip on holster and Browning gun rug. The grips are slightly thicker than the...

These photos were sent to Senator Stewart's office and they were used to shut this down. He is good people and hopefully will end this. Yes that's my Son who made Eagle Scout in November and that was his Christmas present. A 1972 39-2 with ivory grips. Those grips were made over 25 to...

Yes I spoke to Senator Stuart's office. The bill has been referred to the Va. State Courts of Justice committee. Senator Stuart is part of that committee. He is an avid sportsman and realizes a common sense approach to the ivory issue.

Rick since you are in Virginia such as I do you have any information on the bill? Funny I just gave my Son a S&W Model 39-2 with elephant ivory grips carved over 20 years ago. UPDATE Sorry should have hit the link first. I guess Senator Ebbin thinks ivory grips from 25 or even 100 years ago...

I filled my new F150 up today for $53. It was $1.63 a gallon. It cost me well over $100 in the summer when I bought it. I usually have to fill up 3 to 4 times a week. Figure I am putting about $400 a month back into my pocket. But I feel like every one else. It will go back up again. Sooner than...

Finally the gallery shots have been proofed and I received a few today. Here's what the proud Eagle Scout looks like in uniform.

I have a Colt Cobra post war. Looking for a black Tyler #5 Thanks

As a kid anything with Lloyd Bochner always gave me the creeps. He never played a good guy. His stuff on Dragnet was always just dirty. Those evil looks he gave with that voice and eyes. Did he ever play a good part?

I had forgot 36 Hours as well. Kind of neat the German's knew there would be a NATO so to speak after the war. I recall the MP guard smacking heels and that alerted James Garner something was wrong.
