The best revolver for a beginner is a .22. Whether you buy an inexpensive Heritage or a Taurus, or a high dollar S&W or Colt, you can`t go wrong with starting with a .22. It will make the recoil easier to get used to, since there will hardly be any. That`s just me. DM

You be better off carrying a LAWS rocket. Less recoil and more enjoyable to shoot.

I`m so sorry you had to endure a place with mosquitoes so large they show up on radar. How long did it take to get the Spanish Moss off your cars and belongings? It took me a semester after leaving Baton Rouge. P.S. Thank you for your service.

Living in Oklahoma I want everyone to remember "Going Postal" started after a shooting at a post office in Edmond Oklahoma. For years after the shooting I supplied bumber stickers that read, "Guns Don`t Kill People, Postal Employees Do".

I`ve been in the Hi-Fi industry for over 50 years. I have a retail business that specializes in 2 channel audio, not surround sound. Being the only Klipsch Heritage dealer in Oklahoma I sell used speakers from as low as $75 a pair to the Klipschorn at $17,500 a pair. And I sell every piece of...

Somewhere over the years I have read either in the S&W history books or in factory letters all saying the same thing; if you own a top break gun put it in a showcase or in your gun vault. DO NOT SHOOT THESE GUNS! Because of their age and changes in ammo from black powder to smokeless don`t risk...

re bluing Having guns done by the factory in the past was perfection. In my trip to the factory in 1995 I toured the bluing tanks. The guide said every month OSHA and the EPA came by telling them that take a good look, this is going to go away. The reason was cyanide in the bluing solution. In...

That quality of engraving reminds me more of Faberge eggs. That`s jewelry quality rarely ever seen in firearms. The detail! Are you sure Carl Faberge didn`t do the engraving?

S&W knife displays The smaller display case held the first production knives. Later, when the fillet and fisherman knives were added a new 7 knife display was added for dealer to show the full line. The book on S&W knives by the late Clarence Rinkey is the bible on S&W knives. Now that you have...

Cheney Holsters Found out about Cheney from a neighbor of his. Supposedly during the hey days of Hollywood he was a supplier of western rigs to many of the big stars. I recently bought one of his rigs and a customer came in, picked it up and said, Wow, a Cheney; he was my neighbor. Mine is for...

I bought my original .221 Fireball for $119.00 at Skaggs in Tulsa. Still have it.

At the S&WCA meeting in 1995 at the factory, there was a contest between departments to build the world`s finest potato launcher. Unfortunately, the Performance Center was not invited, however, they found out and delivered what I call the Ferrari of potato launchers. This unit had a bipod, the...
