Uh...saturday nite special...it's something called "Accu-Tec." Never heard of it...but that doesn't mean anything. 13-round cap .380. So far, two days worth of impression without getting to the desert to shoot the silly thing has me of mixed mind about it. I'll do a follow-up as soon as soon as I've had a chance to shoot it and have carried it around for a bit. --- FMail 1.02 * Origin: CyberSupport Hq/Co.A PRN/SURV/FIDO+ (602)231-9377 (1:114/428) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 275 GUNS Ref: DA400029 Date: 06/03/96 From: PAUL NIXON Time: 07:02pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: nra The following was asked of me today. I have an answer...but it's only one answer. Anybody who'd like to comment I'll pass along, he'll get wider perspective that-a-way. Thanx. Begin included text: I read somewhere the other day that only something like 12% of the NRA membership bothered to vote for the association's leadership. The inference made was that perhaps the NRA would be more amenable to "reasonable" gun control laws if the average member was voting for the orginization's policies.

I see a strange notice in the Sunday (June 2) USA Weekend section of the newspaper ... What's up with the settlement where owners of many Remington 12g shotguns can get a few $$ if they own guns manufacturered between 1960 and 1995? It looks like someone has claimed that inappropriate steel was used, and the barrel may burst; rather than litigate, a settlement was reached. Is this a real problem? What is the truth? Is there any reason to NOT submit the form if I have an affected gun?

GA: -> Ladies' Guns, and I responded. No harm, since Paul will probably see -> your post here anyhow. But there is a significant difference -> between the 36/60 and the 63: the 63 has a fully lugged 3-inch -> barrel with adjustable sights, so it's not a snubby. S&W has also -> altered the shape of the cylinder latch--not an improvement IMHO. MH: -> Got one of each...no difference except holster Mike-- Do you reload for your .38's? If so I'd like to know what your favorite loads are. Thanks! -Guy PS: my son in Garland is also a firearms enthusiast. When I visit, we usually haunt an indoor range on ???--don't remember the name of street, but not far from Shiloh and Walnut.
