And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I picked up one of these years ago, and they do in fact point very naturally. A good little pistol.
knew a guy who had one he got from his parents after they passed on. he was trying to get a new firing pin for it. I think he had to have one made for it. I think it was a 32 or maybe a 380. not sure as this was back in the late 1970's but it did handle quite well from what I remember. he also got a old Mossberg Brownie (?) 22 pistol. now that is what I wanted to buy from him, but he wouldn't sell it.
My wife had a Ruger 2.75" Securuty Six .357 mag loaded with hollow points when I met her and still does so I guess she didn't really need one of these. But it is a cool pistol.
Understand about little guns. I EDC a little J-frame .38+p that I call the "noisy cricket". As I get older I can appreciate the kick it provides. Still, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end. It'll ruin your day...

My friend has one of those. .380acp.
DeleteI had family working there. Wish they could have afforded those guns (poor workers).
ReplyDelete"Send 6c in stamps for book" - now that's old-timey. I haven't heard that since the '40s.

ReplyDeleteBoth the wife and the Security Six are keepers.
DeleteI can tell you from personal experience that little guns make for very sore hands when fired often.

DeleteI view little handguns as "Get Off of Me!" guns.
DeleteMine is quite easy to shoot. But being made in 1916, I tend to keep it hidden away.
ReplyDeleteStepdad gave my mom a 32 revolver, a 5 shooter.
ReplyDeleteI had one of these in .32 Auto. Horrible, heavy trigger.
