Hi! I'm not sure where this subject belongs. My Mom is 88 years old and after a nasty fall coming out of the hardware store the day before Thanksgiving, she had to have her elbow replaced with (I'm guessing) a titanium elbow. She shattered her left elbow. But, being the feisty one that she is...

Coswabbit: My cell auto-locks after about 10 seconds, but I will include an ICE card in my wallet. In the future, I'll lock down the range bag in the back of the SUV so that it won't be ejected thru a broken window, etc. Hopefully, that will keep it "with" the vehicle. Thanks for the...

Thank you to everyone. I had no idea how such an event might be handled, but I feel much better about how such an event would/will be handled. I'm going to check with the local jurisdictions as to how they deal with guns discovered during emergencies. Thank you!!

444, THANK YOU!! It is nice to know that there are those who know how to react to the unexpected. Do you think if I approached local first responders I could discover how they handle such situations? Thanks again,

When I travel to the range, all of my guns are unloaded and locked in cases and carried in my range bag. All of the ammo is also locked in a steel Nano Vault (three digit dial lock). All of this is loaded into the back of my SUV. I do not carry a concealed gun, primarily because it is darn...

Hokie_PhD: "I carry my guns unloaded in the original cases locked." unloaded not unlocked. I drive an SUV, so no trunk. Everything is generally out of sight under the cargo area cover, but the back can be opened with the press of a button. I thought about the sign on the dash, but discarded...

AlexanderA: I always go to the range and return home without any side stops. I "always" drive carefully, but I live in a suburb of Washington, DC where there are a lot of tourists and transient population (foreign and domestic), and this area offers some unique driving challenges. However, as...

I travel from Maryland to Northern Virginia to use the NRA Range. I carry my guns unloaded in the original cases locked. I keep the ammo separate (sometimes in a locked nano-vault. This satisfies the legal requirements for transporting. My concern is when I go alone. If you're involved in an...

Thank you one and all for the replies. I have seen the Wiki entry, but questioned that it referred to this weapon, because the Wiki entry, and the referenced parts break-out, show a "hammer lowering catch" on the left side of the slide that this weapon doesn't have. Does any one know of a...

My Grand Father left this behind. He got it from his good friend, and always referred to as "the Polish 9mm". These markings are on the gun: PANSTWOWEWYTWORNTEUZBROJENIA next line: FABRYKABRONIWRADOMIU On the other side: VIS cal 9mm pat n 15567 48190 Any info you...

Jim, Thank you. I hate it when you go in a gun store and someone says "this gun takes .38 S&W short" or "make certain you get .38 S&W short". You walk away going "short, I didn't know there was a long"??

I need some education on this caliber. I have a .38 S&W Terrier (probable ID) that takes a .38 S&W short cartridge. When I search on the web for this caliber, I do not see any indication that the rounds are short or long. Is there more than one length of .38 S&W? The rounds that I...

Old Fluff, Thanks very much for the reply. This is a lot more than we knew before.

Jim, Thanks for the help.

Yes, it is .38 S&W, not .38 Special. Sorry, it is a 2 inch barrel. Thanks.

Sorry -- newbie error. Reposted as new thread.

I have an .38 S&W 5-shot revolver. It is about the size of the current J-Frames, but it has a conventional hammer and rounded grip. It has a blued finish. I know this gun dates back to somewhere around 1948 to 1950 when it was given to my mother by her uncle. The serial number is 55977. I...
