    How many rounds?

    If you think you are not getting all of the carbon out of the barrel, you could use what we used on our 16's, 60's and ma dueces, and that was a shot of carburator cleaner. Not a lot just a shot. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then use clean patches

    Beretta 21A or Ruger LCP II?

    True, but it's nice to have one especially when the movie channel runs an All day James Bond special

    .22 revolver?

    Diamondback firearms sells a neat da/sa .22/.22mag revolver with a 3" or longer barrel. Nine shots and all for about three hundred is not a bad deal. Almost like a old high standard revolver of the 79's

    Beretta 21A or Ruger LCP II?

    Having owned both to me it all boils down to what you want. First just for the record the lcp II 22 is a single action only with a concealed hammer. It is not a sa)da pistol. As such it really requires a safety that blocks the hammer fall for it to be safe for pocket carry. And that's why...

    Our Founding Fathers' perspective on citizens and guns.

    Actually with what was captured from the French in the French and Indian war .69 bore was probably also acceptable

    Lee Enfield 1898 Royal Irish Constabulary carbine

    Might be a Lee Medford carbine.

    Our Founding Fathers' perspective on citizens and guns.

    If the Early colonists didn't believe in the ownership of firearms, then Lexington and Concord would not have happened nor would the British have been confined to the city of Boston for almost a year after bunker Hill

    Honey hole strikes again with a Colt.

    Nice. Have had mine since 1972. It's a 5" in .41 Long Colt

    Any firearm can be used self-defense in a pinch. Do you agree?

    Rule number one in a gun fight: Have a gun. Many years ago there was a story out of South Africa/Rhodesia where and elderly white man with a snub nosed .38 drove off three black terrorists armed with AK-47. supposedly took place in a church. Remember Pearl Harbor and the pilots that took off...

    New S&W Heavy Duty

    https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/heavy-duty-n-frame-357-magnum-revolver Looks like S&W is making a bunch for Davidson's. At $1500 or so it's a bit steep for a retired beat cop

    Weapon Retention Tactics and Training

    Not an urban legend. I've worked inside a state prison for over 5 years and you can believe what you want, but I've seen this with my own eyes. They may not have holsters or dummy guns, but they know the insides and out of weapons and holsters and they have not much else to keep them busy...

    Weapon Retention Tactics and Training

    One thing a lot of folks miss is that prison inmates practice getting your firearm away from you regardless of the protection level your holster provides. And they get very good at it. If the other guy is trying to get your gun away from you the quickest and most effective retention skill is...

    16ga ???

    They are that. Paid $5 for mine about 40 years ago. Definitely not on a 12 ga frame. Took some work to get a 12 butt stock to fit.

    I think word is out...

    Just a bunch of us older than dirt farts. Revolvers were new when I joined the army

    Spitzer bullets in tubular magazines

    Only the French made it work. Their 8mm level cartridges had a circular groove in the bullet point would rest in. Other than leveroultion Hornady cartridges I would not underwrite your life insurance if you tried to do it

    BUG question

    I've carried several PPK sized automatics in my back pocket for over 30 years. Never once been id'd. It is a wee bit slow, but it gives you the chance to best an armed robber who thinks you are reaching for your wallet. Blue jeans, shorts, cargo pants etc

    38 Special in a strong revolver

    Pre war colts like the army special/official police, new service and the saa were all strong enough to handle the 38/44 rounds. If you believed colts advertising their Police positive special/detective specials would supposedly handle the 38/44 rounds
