Is that the one that was commonly called the Eisenhower jacket? There was one in my family for a while, surely from my uncle. I wore it a few times.

Sometimes I appreciate how the Hollyweirdos take the trouble to identify their [lack of] creds early on.

Just my own opinion - yours is the one that counts. My reaction is that choice on a blued revolver is very wide. Almost anything is OK. I happen to prefer interesting wooden grips, probably not really light. I also agree strongly with those above who stress that personal fit is what's...

The C*** does not need a locking point on the front of the ejector rod, because the hand locks up the cylinder, unlike the S&W, where the cylinder rotates the wrong way (something about a patent). In addition, the locking pin at the rear is much larger on the C*** than on the S&W, although I...

Better balance and stability for some people, especially when aiming seriously. It is also possible that at some point in history, some folks, especially in LE, prefered the superiority of the heavy barrel as a bludgeon. Myself, I pretty much prefer the pencil barrel for its lighter carry...

Either that or one more reason to need guns.

How genteel! Much nicer than what they were often called in the Navy.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did, and it came back negative. You were still right to suggest it.

This is pretty much how I see things, but in my later years, that sundial is becoming a bit of a nuisance.

:D The fact that almost all cops have common sense doesn't mean that they are not competent in other areas, as well.

John Taffin was certainly one of the better gun writers. Hard for me to know how good, because he clearly knew more than I, especially about SA revovers. I bought his Big Bore Sixguns, an excellent, expensive coffee-table quality production on the subject. A little more than halfway through...

I don't know much about this, but it could be that they were produced a lot earlier than they were sold. Might as well continue to catalogue them until they all sell. For those who wanted a small revolver, they weren't really obsolete until the early fifties.

1988 Toyota Camry 4-cyl stick shift. 357 or 358K miles before the salt-induced rust made windshield repair shaky. Donated to charity with original clutch plate, engine still doing fine.

You know, many of our foods are eaten in a (misplaced or not misplaced) state of trust. I try to base this trust on my extremely limited knowledge of botany and biology, and my fair to middlin' experience of human motivation based on greed, idiocy, wisdom and several other common human traits...

Made my home one out of a brass block, my travelling kit one out of an aluminum block. Just used what I had around, and when I needed oil, I drilled for it.

Tradition. I'm gonna be old before long, but I remember when revolvers were king of the mountain. For some purposes they still are, including most of mine. I've got nothing against functional autoloaders carried by folks who know how to handle them, but they are not exactly essential to...

DST has no practical relation to darkness and school schedules. If you want the chillun to go to school an hour later, have school start an hour later. If you want them to leave an hour earlier, have school start an hour earlier. If your school administrators can't figure this out, fire them...

This is an S&W forum. Carry a revolver. Higher capacity can easily be attained by carrying speedloaders and/or more revolvers.

There may well be better ways, but one which is easy enough is just to type your reply, highlight it with your cursor, right-click on it and copy it, then open a new Word document, and right-click and paste what you copied into the Word document, and save it with an appropriate title (like Reply...

Chippewa. Like handgun grips, should be bought locally.
