Hey, my name is Ryan. I am new to the podcast/show. Love the few shows I’ve listened to so far. I went through the history looking for a show on 1911s. Have you done this before??? I couldn’t find one if you have, went back as early as the 2013 shows.







It is by far my favorite platform. If you haven’t done a show on this, I know a lot of us would love to hear more about this iconic masterpiece of gun history. The history behind it, the evolution, the various differences between current models, differences between a $500 rock island or a $5,000 Wilson Combat or Nighthawk. Etc..







Thanks for listening. You have a new subscriber.

Hi Gunguys ,







A retired guy that I work with part time was going to go to a shop and sell his 1921 Colt Police Positive that his Dad carried as a police officer for 6 years in the 1940s. I didn't want him to sell this gun, and I don't understand why a gun person would. I looked up the gun and it was worth between $250 and maybe $1000 depending on condition. This one didn't have a lot of use but it had been in a holster since the 1940s and was only removed once in a while for cleaning. I didn't want to see this gun get consigned for $300 so I gave him $400 for the gun and holster. Later in my locker I found a letter about the ownership, a shoulder holster that his Dad had hand made, a box of 38 special ammo and a leather ammo thing with some crusty 38 special ammo.







  The trigger on the gun was horrible but the gun was dry and crusty so I took it apart and cleaned and lubricated the parts and put it back together and the thing shoots sweet now!







 After this one I " Pulled the trigger" on a gun that I've always wanted a Colt Detectives Special, I paid too much, but I've always wanted one and this one is a really clean second series from 1966. Also the previous owner sent me a letter that he had received from Colt about the history of when it was made, and who it was originally shipped to.







Thank you for the shows, I really enjoy them

Jon Writes:







Hello, I am new to guns. I shot a BB gun as a kid and occasionally shot rifles with my grandfather 30 years ago. I am trying to get my son involved as he is 9 and really likes shooting targets in the backyard with his BB gun. I have really enjoyed the show, but over the summer I plan on buying a .22 rifle for me and to give to my son after he is more comfortable shooting and knows how to be safe with it. I am personally very turned off by not being able to go 30 seconds into most podcasts without 2nd amendment or NRA coming up. Can I expect to be able to go to a gun shop and not get bombarded with politics coming up over and over? I am a supporter of the right for most people to own a gun, but I definitely have some issues with the NRA and gun culture that I have experienced. Where other than your show should I go for more quality information? Thanks. - Love the show
