No idea. I'd had both of them for some time before I ever noticed it, and then only after reading about it on the internet. Even then I had to go dig them out of the safe to verify it.

I've owned both "old" and "new" Pythons. I'll take the new ones. They're just better guns. (Ducks incoming tomatoes) The new ones just beg to be fired DA. The DA on my two is 11.5 pounds, smooth as silk, with no stacking. S/A is about 6, but since I don't shoot them SA, I don't really...

I think you might be disapointed by the recoil of the Browning BDA/Beretta series. I had one not too long ago, and that thing kicked like a 9mm with it's blowback action. Beautiful gun, but not fun to shoot for me anyway (not to mention tiny sights). I've got a bad back and arthritus, so I...

When I was a young fellow, Skeeter Skelton convinced me that the best all around handgun was a 4", medium frame 357 revolver. A Model 19 or a Colt Python. I had my heart set on a Python, but found out they cost about twice as much as a Model 19 even back in the late 70's, so I went with the...

I got it at Green Top. Degoff's has been gone for years. I miss it. I bought some of my first guns there. That old man taught me how to buy a used gun and that was a whole new world. I did everything just the way I've done it for about 50 years. Full name, drivers license, and CHP. Just...

I always put my SSN on the 4473. It's never seemed to make any difference. As a matter of fact a couple of people have told me if you don't put it on there, the check comes back quicker. On the other hand I've had people who have a PIN tell me that slows things down. Who knows? I'm always...

Well, I've only got one Smith and Wesson revolver left, so I guess that answers that question. A 1965, Model 18-2, with the original box (no other papers). If it was going to be one of my half dozen or so plastic fantastic S&W's it would be my EZ in 30 SC. I figure I probably couldn't sell...

I've been bit by the Sig 365 bug recently. First a 365-380, and the other day I decided to get one in 9mm. Filled out the paperwork and looked around to see if there was anything else I couldn't live without. After about 20 minutes one of the young fellows who works there came up with a...

I've never so much as actually seen one, but it's been a "grail gun" for about 50 years for me. Man, they were COOL back in the day. I drooled over every magazine I saw with a Smolt on the cover. I doubt now I'd ever buy one (couldn't afford it), but man I sure admire them.

I agree. The 30 SC EZ is the same gun for all intents and purposes as the 9mm EZ. Sure it offers a couple of extra rounds, but everything else, including the recoil (at least to my way of thinking) is the same. I'm told it has to be that way because of the pressure the load developes. I...

Oh, I'm not thinking of getting rid of it. Like I said, I don't think I could sell it, and I know the dealer I bought it from doesn't want it back, :) but heck, I like it enough to just keep it on it's own merits. I've got close to 1000 (both FMJ and HP) rounds stashed away. I don't shoot it...

The Model 18 is hard to beat. Mine is an 18-2 from 1965, about the time I was starting 8th grade at Lee-Davis High School. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. (that light spot under the hammer is just light reflecting) I've got a couple more 22's and have owned a bunch of them over the...

Great gun Leo. I like the Mother of Pearl grips. I had one a few years ago. I forget when it was from though. I let a serious Colt collector talk me out of it. It was something special to him. To me, it was more than just another gun, but not something I'd been looking for. I just...

I bought an EZ 30SC a few months ago. It was at a fire sale price, so was the ammo, so I layed in a small stash of that too. It's a pretty good shooter, but doesn't offer anything really that a 9mm doesn't offer IMHO. If I ever come down to selling off the rest of my motley collection, I...

Thy will be done....Amen.
