    A friend of sm's?

    sm, A friend of mine was given a copy of Captain Paul A. Curtis's "Guns and Gunning", published in 1934. It is a really neat book. It's amazing how little much about shooting has changed and how much has. He covers rifles, shotguns and handguns (the handgun stuff is a treat), hunting and...

    WSJ on "no-knocks"

    Looks like New Haven, San Jose and Denver are heading back toward sensibility at least. I love NY's response, reforms that aren't binding and a PR section to clean up after mistakes. :rolleyes: http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB115714994871552186-lMyQjAxMDE2NTA3MjEwNDI5Wj.html...

    My 5" 629 idea

    The bevy of guns I was looking at a bit ago are now off the list. Couldn't get the scratch together. So I had bright idea 2. I have a gun on consignment I don't need. Rather than wait for it to sell, and since I now have a Smith .44 on the brain for a "field gun", I was thinking I could...

    3 NYC Cops Shot in Friendly Fire Incident

    Before this goes all "oh we're superior to LEO's in general and NYPD in particular", let me say trying to take down a quick critter like a dog in a crowded hallway with everyone shooting is a recipe for this kind of thing. Talk about a knife fight in a phone booth. Copyright 2006 The...

    Have a chance to buy a Python...

    ...and a nickel King Cobra, and a Border Patrol (Trooper?), and a Cobra and a 1903 in .32 and a Smith Model 24. I have to see if I'm getting some money in this weekend. Which, assuming I can get a decent price, would be the best investment? What serial #'s are key to look for? I'm a...

    "Guns for Knives" trade-in?

    I just saw a funny Chris Rock sketch about his new "gun buy back" program to lower gun violence. Unfortunately the hosting site was all kinds of NSFHR. The last line is great. So, off you go, find it yourselves, perhaps post a good, clean American link.
