Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 In an article in Guns and Ammo magazine this month. The writer James Tarr in Better than Ever, says in the the days of old, people carried 5 shot "snubbies" and included the Colt Detective Spl. as one of them. Uh, excuse me but the Colt Detective Spl. was always a 6 shot. Has this guy ever seen one? Better yet what about the editors? They should know better! This is why I don't trust what these magazine writers talk about. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Maybe he reads WEB Griffin books. In the badge of honor series, the cop changes from Chief Special to Detective Special to Undercover and back all through the series. Same gun - five shot Smith & Wesson snubby. But the name of it keeps changing. In the series about the CIA in Germany right after the war - early 1946 - one girl carries a Chiefs Special in her bra. Except that the Chiefs Special didn't exist until 1952. She could have a Terrier, which was a J in 38 Smith & Wesson, but not a Chiefs Special. She killed somebody with the Chiefs Special and it is now in evidence, so another guy hands her his Detective Special, which is also a five shot 38 Special snub nose, so she would not be unarmed until she gets her gun back.

Has a strong odor that fades eventually but works better than anything I've tried that is OTC. https://www.tigerbalm.com/us/products/tiger-balm-ultra-sports-rub/ Now, I'm still trying to figure out how someone hides a Chief's Special in a bra without detection.

Nope, Advil or Aleve or Extra strength Tylenol works fine. I don't take it every day mostly just when I shoot. I've tried several cremes and lotions etc. none of it works. I mostly went to two handed shooting to be safe. I don't want to drop a gun in case I get a flare up in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was she was a large bosomed girl, which would give her lots of room. Then I thought maybe she was a small bosomed girl, wearing a large bra. But then we have this. HasAS anyone should be able to tell from the shape of that fake gun and the grips on it, that's a J frame snub nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 When I first started looking for bra holsters, because I knew they were out there, the search engine took my request - bra holsters - and changed it to bra holsters for women. They make bra holsters for men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even try to use it on a range day. Then it's just "Tylenol for Arthritis" (CBD and THC is legal in Canada. It's how our current Prime Moron Minister won the younger vote, last election.)

It’s buffered, more natural, and it REALLY works better than any of the other NSAIDs for me!! Naproxin products cause allergic reactions for me and the Ibuprofen remedies flat out don’t work. Aspirin products have been my salvation!! BB&B is 500mg and two of those relieve my pain, ease stiffness, and don’t cause numbness for me. It usually lasts for eight hours or more as well!!

bgavin Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 OP, I have the same sentiment for movies with computer scenes. Laughable in their ignorance. I especially chuckle at the old IBM 3420 (or similar) tape drives used in the movies to display "processing". In real life, I have to laugh at the warehouses full of utility company collected environmental data that can never be read again.. because there are no more tape drives to read them.
