Sleek high tech is all the rage in the firearms world today, but it\u2019s worth noting that some of the \u201cgear of yesteryear\u201d still works as well as it always did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case in point: I recently ran across this article from a few years ago in GUNS magazine, where I\u2019ve written the monthly handgun column for the last few decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an absolute treasure trove at the websites www.gunsmagazine.com<\/a> and www.americanhandgunner.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Colt .38 Special revolver I\u2019m holding in the picture you\u2019ll find in the article was produced in 1922: a century old this year. It still paroved capable of putting five shots into an inch and three quarters at 25 yards with (relatively) cheap Winchester practice ammo, the best three of those in eight-tenths of one inch. And it still goes \u201cbang\u201d every time you pull the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m sure many of you have similar experiences with vintage firearms which are still perfectly functional.
