The Wandering Minstrel

This sign can be seen in Flagstaff, Arizona. Other similar signs were seen in Quartzsite, Wickenberg, Surprise, Phoenix and Camp Verde.

We’re not in California anymore, Toto.

That’s this S&W 442 .38 Special - short and sweet. The ammo is Speer .38 SPL+P hollow point, which gives this little gun the respect it deserves.

And it’s a damn sweet looking gun, too.

The better half drew my attention to an article in this month’s America’s 1st Freedom Magazine. It is called “Fastest Man with the Golden Guns,” and featured Guinness Record fastest draw, Bob Munden. She was intrigued by the ornate pair of Colt Army Revolvers that were pictured in the article.

I went out to the web site for the National Firearms Museum and found the image of Munden’s modified firearms and an article about the man and the guns.

Gun pr0n for today - the MSAR STG-556 Bull-pup rifle. Enjoy.

The weirdest stuff comes up in some of my internet searches. I Googled ‘licorice gun,’ looking for what I remember from childhood as a miniature revolver made out of licorice. I didn’t find the licorice, but this is one of the things that did come up:

Gun Holster Cake from The Cake Engineer, which took Second Place, Centennial Category, Semi-Professional Division, in the Mid-Atlantic Cake Show 2008.

The “leather” on the holster and belt is embossed. Everything from the bullets to the belt buckle is edible. Click on the thumbnail for the big picture.
