All guns need a holster, right?

I saw a few of them when I worked in gun shops.  They were fun to play with(the action was weird but worked well) but I never gor to shoot one.

 

 

Uh...burJESS?  I always heard it pronounced Burjuss.

Believe that's one of those things like an M1 rifle.

 

GARE-und? ga-RAND?

 

Those are the two most common pronunciations. But I've read once upon a time that the gentleman in question pronounced his name ga-RUND.

 

Or we have carbine.

 

Some people say car-bean. Some say car-bine, but in the John Wayne movie Rio Bravo, Colorado (Ricky Nelson) asked Sheriff Chance, "You always carry that carbon cocked?"

 

Sounded just like he was talking about carbon paper.

I always thought it was BURR-juss

I have a non-folding one.

These things really should be SASS Legal, but they aren't.

Burgess was a very impressive gun designer who was over shadowed by Browning .

But highly under rated.
