Since the Minstrel names all his guns this or that, I decided to name my little S&W 442 “Rosie the Riveter.” She has rosewood grips and ‘Rosie’ seemed a natural name for her.

And, speaking of Rosie . . .

Like many people, I made the error of presuming that the “We Can Do It” WW2 poster was the original “Rosie” image - wrong! Rosie is the chick that Norman Rockwell painted for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post those many years ago.

Here they are, side by side . . .
