  1.  Dropped my kid off at the mall many years ago, gave him money to call when he was ready to come home. I told him to put it in his watch pocket, he gave me the "deer in the headlights" look , had no idea what i was talking about. I explained it to him, he was surprised that was what it was for, said everyone he knew called that a "condom pocket".

    Back in the 80’s-90’s I made quite a few Smythons or Smolt’s for people. Those people weren’t satisfied with the 586/686 . They must have had a need for the vent rib . Or just having something very few people have . One man’s trash is another one’s treasure 

    I heard that the Colt barrel had a more suitable twist for .357, that why it was considered more accurate.

  3. Bersa .380, bought it used, tried to find ammo it didn't like and never did. I used to have 1/2 boxes of all kind of oddball .380 left over, it shot them all.

    Kel-tec p32, great reliable gun.

    Hi point 9mm, I had a jar of odd ball 9mm on my loading table, different makers and bullet styles, took that to the range to test the gun. Fed and fired everything.         Found some .380 in there, fired and fed that also.

    Winchester 1200, only real problem with that gun was that it tried to follow the beloved M12.

    My dad bought this re-issue in '78 - I inherited it in '88 when he passed on, and still have it.

    Those 4 magazines are worth more now than he paid for the whole gun.

  5. I always used longer barrels, never had a problem getting around props, less felt recoil also. With a sxs the longer barrels make it easier to open and re-cock the hammers.
