Something to thank Obama for. He’s made the gun industry recession proof.

Thank you, but I prefer "plastic". It's funny, the older I get the older the guns I like get. Here's my latest purchase, the Swiss model 1882:
On the other hand, this is what I keep loaded for home defense:

I have a Webley Mk VI that I purchased some time ago. What's nice about it is that it's still chambered for .455 Webley. Most Webleys that you find in the States have had their cylinders shaved so they can fire .45 ACP. The big bore Webleys are arguably the finest combat revolvers in military history.
I'm still on the lookout for a Webley Mk IV in .38 S&W.

It's funny, the older I get the older the guns I like get.I still have my old, trusty S&W Model 10. But I must admit the new plastic 9's sure are fun.

I wouldn't feel particularly under-armed with a Model 10, especially with modern defensive ammo! In fact, I purchased a S&W Victory Model in .38 special at the same show where I picked up the Swiss Model 1882. The Victory Model was simply a Model 10 with a "V" prefix in the serial number, smooth grips, a lanyard ring, and a sandblasted and parkerized finish.
