Being a wheelgun afficianado, this is a beautiful revolver.

Collectibles are a way of protecting wealth from inflation.

Maybe, maybe not.

The problem with collectibles is that their market is highly inefficient and, as a consequence, the collectibles themselves are often illiquid.

We hear a lot about items such as Teddy's Smith and Wesson, but the rest of us don't buy items that are so well known. Lesser collectibles aren't nearly so easily sold.

Americans should be armed and trained in the use of arms.

More than ever now staying alive is a job now.

Smith and Wesson #3. Commonly known as the Russian.

I have 3 of them, all in 44 S&W Russian. I shoot them quite frequently. I reload my own cartridges and use Trail Boss powder. I even fire the 44 Russian cartridges out of my Colt Anaconda 44 Magnum when I want to take it easy. Unfortunately I can’t get them to cycle through my 44 Mag lever guns, so I just load up some of the 44 Mags with Trail Boss and enjoy the sound of the big lead slugs banging the steel plates. Very satisfying.

Teddy was perhaps the best loved President. He founded the Bull Moose party and lost, was not reelected.

Adulation does not equal electability
