I have always liked these... The first Bill Jordan articl I read was his Smython/Smolt article. The first gun I polished was a Smython...

Remember the "Smuger"...
Seems like Lou Ciamillo built a Ruger Security Six with a Smith L-frame barrel for Mas Ayoob. Had a big old undercut front sight that Ayoob spec'ed so he could jerk it back and cut the bejeezus out of anyone who grabbed it.
Of course that was back when revolvers were "state-of-the-art."

Surely you jest:)
Tupperware is great at preserving things...

Agreed!

Obsolete is not the same as ineffective.

I'm not sure I would even classify revolvers as obsolete...

Today round count and "tacticool" seem to be the important qualities for keeping us safe from the monsters. I have both but I seem to gravitate to a 4" .357 for daily attire. I'm just not a real operator I guess;)

I remember when the first ones were done yars ago - did not know anyone was still doing them. The one by Jack really looks great - and he's got more to do.
