Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Gun Things I did not know.

Wadcutter 38 Special (the revolver cartridge) truly loaded as wadcutter, flush to the case. My initial thought was “Does that thing chambers with any reliability?” And it does indeed, flawlessly.

Don’t hold me to it, but I seem to recall the gun was a Smith and Wesson Model 52 (If I am wrong, I should get an angry email soon enough) with a trigger pull weight within the range of dirty thought and an angel’s fart. An absolute joy to shoot and understand why it is the favorite sidearm caliber of one Bob Lee Swagger/ Stephen Hunter.

I always find the process tends to be as revealing and interesting as the product it creates. Our imagination either wonders in complication or simply cannot fathom it.  One may think to be disappointed about the simplicity, but you realize that is part of the beauty itself: It is not the gear or the mechanics on their own but the artistry of its us and the eye of the creator behind it.
