    Probably Lithuanian Special Operations.  There is at least one story of them going on a patrol in Afghanistan, unshaven, in flip flops, shorts, and load bearing equipment on motorcycles.

     

     

     

    I don't know. When I was in Afghanistan as a police advisor, there was a SF camp nearby. Some of those gentlemen were a bit, shall we say, not dressed in complete Army uniform. Their captain came by our training center at the same time a LTC from the Vermont National Guard was present. This colonel was a mite miffed at the captain's attire. :D

  2. History:

     

    S&W brought out the .44 American, which had an outside lubed bullet, like the .22 Long Rifle. The Russian liked the top break S&Ws, but didn't like the outside lubed bullet. An cartridge with a bullet encased was developed and called the .44 Russian.

     

    In about 1907, S&W lengthened the .44 Russian case and called it the .44 Special.

     

    In the 1950s, Elmer Keith went to S&W and Remington and asked them to load his heavy .44 Special rounds. In 1956, S&W and Ruger brought out revolvers chambered in the .44 Magnum, which is a lengthened .44 Special.

  3. A friend of mine brought me one that he had partially taken apart. The mainspring was jammed. After quite a bit of cursing and putting it together and taking it apart AGAIN, I finally got it back together. I took it to him and told him if he ever took it apart again, I was going to bring it back and stuff it up his.....................................................gun safe. :D

     

    BTW, the frame is very soft. Try not to bend it. I put his in my vise and had to straighten it out after I got finished.

    Right now, with the sorry economy, if I heard that steamboats were selling for a dime apiece, all I could do is run up and down the bank, shouting "Ain't that cheap!?"  :(

     

    No money for more guns. Probably wind up selling a few, which I really hate to do. :( :(

    What are your thoughts on the Model P Jr in general and the the 32-20 in the Model P Jr?  I have shoot a few SAA's in 32-20 over the years and the balance felt off to me.  Not so off that I couldn't get used to it, but still . . . 

     

    I like mine. It has the plow handle grip & handles the .32-20 just fine.
