Yeah, well, Bolan carried a Beretta too, but I never got the lust for one of those...

Yep, stippled! And the left side of the grip area doesn't have provision for the pin on the magazine to clear, so it's very early.   And very highly polished, too.

Neither did I, but it wasn't around in those days anyway. Besides, I have better taste.

Don't forget the arrogance, elitism and holier-than-thous too, yep. I'm amazed - someone is literally a condescending snob over where people first learned about the Automag *shakes head in amazement

Well, look at it this way: at least they're snobbing in reasonably ept English. If this was "social media" their posts would look like they'd been machine-translated from English to Elbonian to l33t and back to English...

"Oy! That bogan told me to get stuffed!"

"Yes, but did you catch that nice accent?"

About the books with Mack.  Yes books and movie portrayals can be very inaccurate and just there to glorify the actors but think of 44 Mag sales and the M29 Smith, one real big spike after Dirty Harry and a second one that made the guns very expensive to get after Magnum Force.  Glad I was overseas when I decided to get mine, M27 5 inch and M29 8 inch, both for just over $300.  You could not touch them in general circulation for less than $600-700 in '78 when I got mine.  And how many 458 Win Mags were sold after the original Dirty Harry.Embarrassed

Forshame, such a vulgar and surly attitude.   Cry

You might be sensitive to or insulted by my post, but it was no insult unless you are ashamed, and I see no reason to be ashamed by your admission, it was an honest statement about how you got here. 

If your read my comment it is one of surprise because I got here by a very different path and your method strikes me as unusual.  As I said in my post "a bit odd but interesting. Not bad just kinda unusual".  Maybe its a generational thing or a regional thing or who knows what, I just personally dont know people who bought expensive stuff because they read about it in a novel. Clearly for some of you here that is your normal. Just different life experiences, nothing to get worked up about.

Seems to me you are pretty sensitive to anyone with a different view on the world. As I said persnickety or if you dont know what that means not growing up here, its sensitive or fussy or someone who is worried about insignificant stuff. 

So please go back and read what I said, I made no personal attack, but you did by referring to me as the "condescending snob".

Unless when you say "arrogance, elitism and holier-than-thous" you are referring to yourself, then clearly with your intolerance of others peoples posts and observations, you are not posting to be a role model or leading by example.

A little self-reflection goes a long way, or else keep going like this and who knows people might just think we are kin. Wink 

Hope you have a fine day. -Joe

And this is why I don't like you - once again you deliberately twist words. As I said, I first heard of the Automag by reading about it in a novel; I didn't read a novel and then run out and buy one, as you're snarkily implying. I guess you glossed over that part (or have reading-comprehension issues) but I suppose there's always someone who drooled over centerfold pictures and not complete sentences, thinking that makes them superior to others. Hint - it doesn't. Let me know where I lost you and I'll try to write down to your level so that you don't have to sound out the big words or follow them with your finger.

Pot, meet kettle. Says the guy who sneered at how others first heard about the AutoMag... introspection isn't your strong suit, apparently.

Yep, you are - and your poor attempts at gaslighting and claims of "woe, poor innocent little me" has done nothing to change my mind. I don't need your approval.

Son you keep getting worked up like this you are seriously going to pop a cork.  Nobody twisted your words or snarkily implied anything or did any gaslighting except you. This it your interpretation, not what I said. You are just spoiling for a fight.

You might consider anger management.

Life is too short to get so angry over comments on a website, especially such insignificant comments as you get upset up over. If this is what gets your fired up, you would have a full blown stroke if you saw the personal comments on other sites. Either grow a thicker skin or get some help to calm your outbursts and keep you from creating personal feuds. The internet is no place here for such nonsense.

Hope you can find some peace and ground out your violent rages. -Joe

I'm not raging in the slightest but thank you for your concern, Mr Centerfold - your opinion is as irrelevant as you are, especially when you don't have any balls and deny what you were doing:

Quote I suppose getting excited about an automag from a papreback book is sort of like buying a walther PPK from watching a James Bond movie or buying a 1911 after reading about Sgt York. Still strikes me as a bit odd but interesting. Not bad just kinda unusual to be buying something so expensive because you read about it in a dime store novel. Maybe I should read one some day to see what all Im missing but probably not. -Joe

It's amazing - try to get an interesting thread going to learn more about how folks got started in a particular subject and there's always one snot who thinks he's superior.


LOL
