    380 acp?

    No difference. ACP is the acronym for Automatic Colt Pistol. Colt was the first to use John Brownings invention in 1908.

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Overheard at a gun show...This guy had a shotgun which I saw him pay $200 for. He was asking $350 for it. Another guy came along and offered him $300. The guy said, "if I sold it to you for $300, I'd be losing $50 on it". After the potential buyer walked away, the guy turned to me and said...

    John Dillinger .41 Remington Sells For $95,600!

    You know that without the provenance, that is a $500 to $1,500 gun. I wonder how many of our fellow posters here own a piece with historical provenance.

    Is Colt Dead?

    I really love my Colt revolvers, but I agree with a few other posters. If Colt would come out with new versions of the 1903 and 1908 pocket hammerless models, I think there would be a lot of folks lined up to buy them (including me).

    Poison Oak Problem

    Got a big tube of Tecnu Extreme. It has stopped the itching! I'm a little concerned about putting it on the dog though. Are you sure it's safe for him?

    Poison Oak Problem

    I feel sure that I avoided the stuff, but I think my dog got the oil on him and transferred it to me. Anyone have a sure fire cure?

    When are we getting the Thune Bill?

    All of the news stories surrounding this made for some interesting reading. One article said that this would have affected every state except Wisconsin and Illinois, because they don't issue concealed carry permits.

    Thin the herd/Reduce the Collection ?

    I'm in the process of reducing the numbers now... My wife and I just built what will be our retirement home. In the process of moving I realized that my hobby may have gotten a little out of hand over the years. I hope I don't have seller's remorse.
