      smith wesson must be bad

      I carry a S & W Model 640, and practice with a Model 66-2 does THAT count? (for the record, there are NO plastic, polymer or tupperware pews in my safe)

      Biggest Regret?

      This is a strange answer, but I regret selling a Taurus 689 with 6" barrel. It was the first revolver I bought and I traded it toward my first FAL (THERE is an addiction of it's own).

      1911 Reliability

      In my experience, a 1958 Sistema Argentine has been 100% reliable, it is why I used it as a truck gun for about 10 years. The lEAST reliable 1911 I have owned is Para Ordnance 14-45

      Mammoth Grip

      I have staghorn grips on two SAA's and one of my 1911's. Not quite the same as ivory but I like it better anyway.
