What do you know about Colts Army Special in 41 long Colt? I hear that the 41 Colt was a respectable man stopper when it was used by the police.

Then two months later it got nerfed. Six months later offered as a 'premium'.

hello

I agree

such a strange system

Indeed thats why we gentlemen follow her exploits and wish our wives and girlfriends could be such fine shooting companions.

oh you.

Mae Winchester no. Not him. You!

@@evandaire1449 ​ How Daire you. I think this joke Maebe will go on for awhile. Did I hit the Marko?

nerve wracking

We had to stop listing those because "copyright holders" for public domain songs keep filing on us.

Sorry, it felt like we were talking down and it covered the sweet tunes

Lol me too

D'aww ya'll are sweet, but I agree with Othais. This way I can just give everything at the end instead of splitting it up or repeating anything.

thanks

It felt so obvious though...

it was obvious and that was what made it so fun. Mae has a quirky and unique character that is so much fun to see. she is playful and sarcastic. it was a pleasant break from the information overloud that, no matter how entertaining and informative it is, tends to be Othais talking for up to an hour and a half with visuals that illustrate the narration. don't get me wrong, I love the show and watch every one, but it was a nice brake. now the range day is Mae loading and shooting the gun then looking at the target. Mae's commentary gave it a little more life and something to pay attention to. it doesn't have to be Mae saying "I load the gun, pew, pew pew, lets look at the target." she can make related comments about the shoot or small quirks about the gun that she can go into more detail at the end. I enjoy Mae's comments at the end and just wish to have a little more. Just food for thought. thanks for letting me rant. Love the show and I anticipate every one.

His personal channel, other than the WoT channel, is TheChieftainWoT for those who are interested.

I love Inside the Hatch. I love the detail he goes into. Also his perspective is clearly that of a tanker, so I get the opinion of a crew member in addition to the historical perspective.

Oh bugger, the gun's on fire! (And I agree.)

lewis gunner with an AG with a remington rolling block... sidearmed with 1917s in reverse draw cavalry rigs!!

I remember reading on the inside jacket cover of a James Bond novel that the author, Ian Fleming, was a retired British Naval Intelligence Officer, and in the photograph of him at work at his desk during the 1950s there was what appeared to be a Colt Official Police revolver.

Jun Kitami not quite, British officers were required to purchasr their own sidearm. The only requirment was that it fire standard service ammunition, which is to say either .455 webley or .455 webley auto.

thanks

That’s really interesting!

Glad to hear!

Thanks!

I've wondered more or less the same thing with most of their videos. If we are seeing the handling characteristics, I would hope it is with carefully made full power ammo of the same bullet weight as issued.

TAOFLEDERMAUS you have a cool channel he has a cool channel I never thought you'd watch this channel but I digress I think due to the age of the gun I think they used a reduced charge I don't know good question

Gunter G Taofledermaus was the one who introduced me to this channel through a shoutout in one of his videos. Actually, I've found a few awesome channels through Jeff's shoutouts.

store bought. Couldnt find any data on Greek loads

those 130gr FMJ .38s sold by everybody are actually very mild loads. they spec at about 15k CUP, or just a tick hotter than my old wadcutter reloads would. can't get much lighter without having to give the pills bus fare to make it to the target on time, lol. even the .38 S&W, long colt, .32's of myriad ilk, and whacky metric stuff all run around that same pressure level (12 - 15k cup), they just make lousy velocity because they hold so little coal in the scuttle. the difference in a 9mm P and a .38 S&W is really just that 9 runs at twice the pressure the .38 does (30-32k cup territory). the .357 maggy isn't really magically increased in oomph by that 1/8 inch of case added, it's the 30k cup INCREASE in max load pressure, lol. i ran a police positive special of about 1920 vintage in .32-20 to maniacal pressure levels at one time (shooting resized backward .32 long hbwc with a .30 cal gas check) to demonstrate the "milk jug death ray" theory. really fast powders, "modern rifle in good condition only" max's as starter, and the unhealthy contempt of common sense born of youth, all combined into "a handful of lightning". extractions, of course, required, quite often, "a convincing" on the rod with a chunk of lumber. case life was "live fast, die young, leave a battered corpse". that poor, long suffering revolver took it for years, retired only when .32-20 cases became far too expensive to perform such tom-foolery. i'm guessing only, but an honest estimate would be about 35-40k cup (never blew a primer, flattened plenty though, lol), or close to double the "good rifles only" sensible loads. DON'T DO THIS, the example isn't given to encourage such idiocy. i mention it ONLY to illustrate those old baby colts are MONSTERS. unless a defect is detected, or evidence of EXTREME abuse, corrosion, neglect, etc accumulates to "danger zone" levels, these hoglegs are tough. i mean street fighting lower east side gang member of similar vintage kind of tough. i would NEVER have fired those in a "bicycle gun" topper, not even to win a bet. i might have in a REALLY tight winchester or marlin, but not often. an 1873 or police pos? any day, lol. when i finally sold the colt a few years back, the buyer was incredulous "YOU FIRED THIS???"... honestly, FAR better designed than a k frame smithy (had a 1914 vintage M&P at the same time, mild loads ONLY), which in that vintage cry uncle QUITE audibly at +p .38 factory civi load levels.

mornin

C&Rsenal thanks mates. greatings from Finland

A little bit of C&Rsenal with your tea is a nice way to start the day.

We Turks captured all of the Colt Special 38s that Greek soldiers carried on their belts between 15 May 1919 and 9 September 1922.🙂 My father's pistol was a Colt 38 Special, which was recovered from a captured Greek Sergeant.

도형섭 Good luck ;)

Jason Doe Thank you good sir. I hope I pass so I can join the fleet in April...

Luck!

Good luck. Serve with honor if you are accepted.

C&Rsenal sharkfinbite​ Thank you gents. I'll try my best today.

yes

Good catch. It should be added, just for sake of clarity, that the revolvers following the line you follow from the OP through the Python have the "E" frame designation, their lineage being the medium frame Army Special as discussed in this episode.

Yeah but we are gearing up Mark

dunno what you mean

Nice

its cool whatever

Christian Dudka 4:18pm in australia :P

Christian Dudka You weren't going to sleep anyway

Christian Dudka 9:37 in British Columbia. what's resting for work?

You dont plan every other Tuesday staying up late for based Othais? Pleb

Well it is all secondary market now. I actually dont work with demils so I am unsure there. The process to nake them.inert is far too destructive

I know this comment is from a billion years ago but just for the record as a Canadian I can tell you that lending a firearm across the US border was a pretty major pain in the ass even back when the world made sense.

I agree

And smooooth!

Good to know!

MoreAmerican May doesn't like the reach around for the release. Interesting.

Jerry Long Doh, almost comment on that too! Lol

You could also work in the fact Mae's personal gun if I remember right was a snub nose revolver. Apparently it's not about the length of the barrel, but how you use it.

Forget the length, feel the calibre?

I was hoping to not find sexist asshole comments here. Damn, you all ruined that hope.

m.knight shamaboozles

I agree, she is great

Mauser 1914

Great. thanks ! Keep up the good work !

2nd person to say so in this comment chain!

and now today.

nope

Maybe it'll be about the what now? :D (Probably not :( )

They had commercial versions galore.

I must agree that it is odd that over fifty episodes, we have no Russian-made/designed firearms at all to speak of, but I also have tried my hand at reading Russian and it is enormously painful. Therefore, i suspect Othias is saving Russian arms, of which they had many, for a day when he can hire a professional Russian translator.

It felt stale and obvious

Plus now we can just enjoy the music. I go over everything in detail at the end anyway. :)

armscorp/rock island model 200 series revolvers: trooper clones.

ludditeneaderthal, I'm aware of the armscorp/rock island models and that they are supposedly being made on machines that Colt's sold some years ago. I've examined several such revolvers and, in my opinion at least, they are sad shadows of the high quality revolvers turned out by Colt's itself. I would rather pay the higher price for the Colt's production models as anything for the armscorp/rock island versions.

Did you have a "classic" Trooper or a Mark III ? The "classic" was more like a Python, I've had all access to all 3 and Smith "K"s and Rugers, and yes the Colts are the pick of the litter

Looked into the Armscorp Rock Island clones as well and was ..... disappointed.

well, they're cast 200 buck examples. you really can't expect colt fit and finish at that price point. but, a few hours of polishing and honing WILL produce the same sweet action, even if far more steve buscemi than antonio banderas in beauty

All in good time my friend.

same reasons we constantly bounce between .36 and .44 caliber military arms since the days of cap and ball revolvers: weight, recoil, costs. for the french, that 8mm was "traditional" as of 4 decades earlier. the .30 mauser was THE "magnum pistol round" of it's day (seriously). all over europe, shop keepers toted .25 autos, and cops .32 autos, revolvers, etc. so, the perception in that populace is "deadly weapon". now, when it comes time to arm up (cue Othias "war were.." etc), you NEED weapons. you can build factories. you can order trials, or, you can buy "off the rack". the latter means either ANY weapon is bought, or that which is most commonly made by the most factories is bought. in europe, 100 years back, that meant ".32 auto police pistol" of something like browning 1903 pattern. if revolvers, then .32-ish bore as well. as to "why??" in general, once again, tradition. .31 colts. 8mm pinfires, nambus, ad infinitum. more .32 rimfires than any human could remember. .32 cal-ish pocket pistols date back to flinters. .31 cal squirrel rifles were popular in flint during colonial times here. folks had .31 molds for balls. folks had horns and such for loading them. then the BP revolvers were bored the same to keep clem buying. then the fixed ammo ones, and the various harmonica guns and such as well. .32 was a kind of "standing limit wall" in truly pocket sized stuff. never forget as well, LOTS of humanity fell to .32s in that period. i sure would never want to "catch one". ALL the "modern rifles" had settled to the "tiny" 6.5-8mm range (from .40 to .45 mostly). the call for "big bore stopping power" came almost exclusively from colonial enterprises like india, and not "civilized warfare" among the euro-brethren. "all you needed" for a german was a .32, it was a really irritated sikh you needed a .45 for, lol.

Thebluebridgetroll respect!

Might be an editing time issue, I know they've been hitting time crunches recently.

It felt stale, we were recording the same lines over and over. Figured you guys could see for yourselves

C&Rsenal Gotcha.

By all means, gather us up all the music you can but we have a pretty short list of public domain foreign songs. Most recordings people hear are post 23 remakes and something about two world wars makes early european cyclinders hard to dig up.

C&Rsenal Please don't think it was a criticism.

When not filming we usually two hand

C&Rsenal I figured that, but for some reason these old war horses, just feel more comfortable one handed? is that just me?

that point in time! automatics were just coming around!!plus armies are infamous for being slow to adopt a new type of gun!!!

It was i tended to be over size so you could pistol whip somebody to death after you ran out of ammo.

@@blueduck9409 Makes sense, that was before cops got those giant metal flashlights.

whats wrong with Thursdays?

nah its fine

The national food of the Greeks is beans soup (Φασολαδα). So be carefull were your face is turned... LOL...

Good call.

Probably. Trying to get a solid lineage that lates is obnoxious

I hear it's overrated anyway.
