Today is the 50th Anniversary of the first episode of Emergency! Emergency may have had a major impact on my life The picture of Randolph and me, is from one of the JEMS National EMS conferences in Baltimore I was judging the EMS competition wham Randolph came over and asked if we (judges)...

Thought this article might be of interest. “Comparing the two studies is like comparing the injury rate for people picking up apples to the injury rate for people picking up live hand grenades,” says Dave Smith, a naturalist who has worked in Yellowstone, Glacier, Denali, and Glacier Bay...

After having the chance to handle a G48, am I the only one seeing the similarity between it and the 39xx series (for me a 3953)? Tell me I’m crazy, you wouldn’t be the first. ;)

Just couldn't let it pass me by....... Please excuse the poor cell phone pictures

Reading the thread about the BHP clone FEG, I thought I'd see who could give me some further information/suggestions about my "new to me" Browning Hi Power. It's a 69C11***, that from my limited knowledge about them makes it from 1969 (I know, that was tough). I got it when my LGS called me...

I purchased a IWI Tavor SAR today, got what I thought was a pretty good deal, so I took a chance. Does anyone have any experience with them? I seem to remember some didn't like the trigger, but I also seem to remember that there was a replacement trigger available for them. Just curious as to...

I joined that forum a few weeks ago, and am surprised by the way they welcome folks. Perhaps someone could explain to me why that is? Thanks!

So then, this was my Sunday..............

I couldn't help myself when I found out about 90 handguns, from an estate, that where brought in at a favorite gun store where I have spent a bit of time and cash at over the years. There just happened to be (3) HK P7's and (2) P7M8's. I couldn't help myself and ended up with these, (2) of the...

Now having a few Model 28's, I also wanted a Model 27-2. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any in my search (and I admit to not being one that likes to buy used guns, without being able to handle them), so when I saw this 27-3, I couldn't resist, even though I'm not much of a Nickle fan...

Probably paid to much for it, but I got her anyway..... Serial #: N585**

Was/is hard to talk about, but thought you'd all understand. I had told here of his recent 70th Anniversary, with my Mom, in May. He was more then my father (and hunting partner), but I'm sure many of you will understand that. My Dad did not graduate High School, yet ran his own businesses...

I recently purchased two Model 19's, a 4" 19-5 and a 6" Nickle 19-3. Don't mind the little Colt that decided to also come along.

This morning I finished the final shift of the greatest part time job ever, that I worked at for 27 years. Those of you who have ever worked EMS, as a career, know that most of us work multiple jobs to make ends meet, due to the poor wages. This job, however, involved co-workers and friends...

Found these two on the way home from the OBX, I'm waiting for them to get to my FFL. Sorry for the bad picture, hope to have some better pictures soon. 28-2 # N171xx .38 sp # 1610xx

Celebrating 70 years today, hard to believe! It's hard to even imagine!

I have plenty of J, K, & L frames, but had not found an N frame that I wanted, until yesterday. While at a LGS, I found a 6" Model 28-2 and couldn't resist. I assume it is from 1973 (N1835xx) I may have over paid a bit ($600), but as I haven't seen one around my area in a while, I thought it...

Got these 2 today, a Model 15-3 Nickel and a Model 60 no dash. Paid $900 for the pair, think I did ok?

One of the threads recently reminded me of something/one from a few years ago, perhaps some of you might remember it/them, Gecko45, THE Mall Ninja! For those that may not remember him (and for those that do!), I found a collection of his posts, you might just get a good laugh reading them (I...
