I recently was rereading Roy Jink's 1989 article on the registered magnum, and thought it would be fun to read a couple of the complete original articles on the RM that he mentions. These were in the following two magazines, which I have subsequently purchased:
This is the American Rifleman cover from February 1935:
This is just an anonymous news article, but an interesting read.
And here's the Outdoor Life cover from April 1936:
This is an article by Douglas Wesson on hunting with the reg mag. At the time, hunting with a handgun was unusual.
I have copied and scanned the articles, so if any of you would like a copy, just say so in a post below. My thought is that if there are a bunch of you that would like the articles, we could form an email chain so I email it to the first guy, and the first guy to the second guy, and so on. That's how I got the Jink's article, originally, through the courtesy of a fellow forum member who did the same thing a couple of years ago with that article that I am proposing here.
(You'll need Adobe Reader to open the files. Most PCs have it, but if you don't it is a free download.)
