I read Ed McGivern's book long ago and learned a bit. Do my best fast shooting with a big DA revolver. I sent the 28 back to Smith [back when you could do it UPS there and back home] and had them put the red ramp and white outline sights on it. May the purists forgive me, I wanted what the M29 was sporting so they'd match.

I think ol’ Ed was paid by the word. A loquatious fellow indeed.

I bought a Smith & Wesson model 22A .22LR around 2 years ago.

The first time I fired it was from my car port. It went maybe 4 shots then jammed. I looked it over and discovered it had literally been manufactured without an extractor. The slot was there but no part.

Despite that odd happening I love the gun. I wrote them and they immediately sent me a prepaid shipping container. I had it back in a week or so and it is a great shooter. The only thing I don’t like is the odd placement of the mag release.
