Late for St Pattys Day, but oh well... Old No7 An Irish aviator was getting worried being overdue, and not being able to find the air base in rapidly deteriorating weather. "Lord," he prayed, "I can't stand this... If you direct me to the nearest air base, I swear I'll give up drinkin...

The .38 s&w cartridge like its era peers like the various .32s and .41 colt was/were meant, I suppose, to point-shoot a brigand at very close range. I wouldn't want to get hit with one; and remember that back in the day, without antibiotics, even a gut-shot could eventually be fatal. When I had...

Good points up above by all. Quite similar to Tycer's post, my late father's favorite saying was: "Trust No Man, Know Your Own Course" Could be the course down river staying in the channel (which moved after each winter), how you navigate situations at work or at home, how to get along wit...

I have several 32 revolvers, and I like 'em a lot. I've looked at those Bond Derringer (Deringer?) before, but several of my all-stainless Kahrs are smaller and have 3X or 4X capacity. What is it good for??? I'd call that a "Get Off Me" gun. Or maybe use it with birdshot for snakes. Old No7
