"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
There is just about always an Iver Johnson top break for sale for less than $300 in Armslist in AZ. I meant to get one but they were always on the west side, far away. I figured one had to be in the east valley, but I missed any that were. They're not fancy or anything, just a 100 year old, nickel-plated piece of American history. Oh well.
Iver Johnsons were less expensive than handguns manufactured by rivals Colt and S&W, but they were well-built, reliable, solid little guns, and I'd gladly buy one if it showed up at the gun store where I trade.
I have replicas of a couple of S&W top breaks, and they are extremely accurate. I have a Colt Police Positive in .38 S&W. The cartridges are a little wider in diameter than the Special, but shorter.

$300 is a bargain compared to....oh, wait...that's $6.00, not $600.
DeleteNevermind.

DeleteIver Johnson... I've a Johnson?
ReplyDeleteSeems a little Freudian to me.
I've yer johnson, right here.
DeleteI have an Enfield No. 2 Mk1*, a top break in what the Brits called .380 but .38 S&W (NOT Special!) works.
ReplyDeleteCool gun... what I'd really like is to get one of the Colt No.3, or Schofield revolvers.
