I've always liked Ayoob's pragmatic approach to firearms technique. That last one about the running gun battle though, Shocking he could take that much damage and keep going. Sounds like the office came to the same conclusion the military did after project salvo.

I have read most of his books. Great reading, logical and sensible responses to situations regarding use of force.

Mas Ayoob is still alive? I remember him writing in the 80's. Is he like 100 now?
Jesus, how old are you? 5? Thinking anyone more'n 10 years older than you has one foot in the grave? He is alive and well and is only 68, sheesh!

Yes he's not dead yet. He still teaches and trains and writes books. As a matter of a fact I believe he has just released a new book if not he is about to.
I picked up a 1969 Colt Detective .38 years ago because he spoke so highly of them. Probably the most favorite wheel gun I own.
It occurs to me that I may have missed the sarcasm of Snappo's post. So sue me.

Yeah I'm 5. You are a regular Cluseau.

If I sued you, you'd be living in a refrigerator box when my lawyers were done. But what would I sue you for - taunting or name calling on the Internet? Do you really think I'm that thin skinned? You could even hammer me with "yo momma so ugly" jokes and I think I'd be fine.
I already live in a refrigerator box, so nyah! Is very nice.

Go big or go home! Someone tries to relo you into a dishwasher box; just say no.

Just make sure it's not a Samsung one. It might go boom next.

Didn't Samsung fix that?

They now have exploding washers to go along with the fire starting note7
I'm curious - why did he speak so highly of this gun?
Well it's a classic, innit? Colt revolvers are no better or worse than S&W revolvers but they have a cachet to them.

According to him, it is a very fine made smaller framed 6 shot .38. Easily concealed which can also be used as a backup piece. The earlier ones such as mine did not have the solid under-lug which made it lighter and there fore not geared to continuously shoot +p loads.
I occasionally wear it as my backup worn in the small of the back holster.
