    Some favorite DAO Smiths - What's not to like

    Cheating a bit... As a young LEO in the '60's, we were issued Colt revolvers. Nice gun but a bit inadequate given the 6 round cylinder, slow reload, bulky pouches and "poor" sights. The "poor" sights allowed me to "miss" more center-mass shots than good ones. I asked if I could carry the S&W...

    I bought the wrong gun, now what?

    Just back from the range with my 640. As expected, it's not a target gun but did do center mass on a target at 7 yards using 158 WCs. Switched to +P hollow points. The first was on center. Three in the torso and I think the last one is somewhere in Puget Sound...hard to do in an indoor...

    What is the finish on this 1905 Military & Police?

    Brown Bar Gun? Jamaican Bar Rum! Take a 12 oz. glass filled with rum, dip a bar rag in and rub on gun. Drink remaining rum. Do this every day for 100 years and get a brown gun.:rolleyes:

    Are you related to historical figures?

    No one historical that I know of, but I'll now admit to a few who were hysterical.

    Old Folks Advice Needed

    Call the PD and let them sort it out. I used to get those calls all the time and knew what to do...who to contact...etc. Once got a call like that and when I got to the house, the woman was lying in a snow bank at 4 AM. You'll probably be sorry if you do nothing. The fact that you asked tells...

    LEATHER HELP NEEDED

    I have a knife sheath which is missing the belt loop which was riveted on. I want to pass it on to my grandson in good condition. I received a bid from a member professional, but it was too much for my budget. Anyone out there who wants to take this on? I can email a photo because I cannot...

    S&W Model 39-2

    Since the 1960's As a young-pup police officer, I recognized the S&W 39 (not 39-2) was far superior to the Colt OP I was issued, so bought one new ($75.00) and carried it as an off-duty weapon. I tried unsuccessfully to get the department to switch, but the bosses thought I wanted to go to...

    Significant win in California (9th Circuit)

    Don't hold your breath! I learned yesterday that the Santa Barbara sheriff has found it impossible to honor requests because "The deputy who handles that is on vacation and we don't know when he'll be back." One deputy for an entire county? Vacation with no backfill? Sounds like a lawsuit in...

    2 kids suspended over facebook picture
