    Military always taught one-handed classic Olympic style handgun shooting. You will see it changing from the eighties to two handed IPSC style.

    Yes, but just about always. The norm in military firefights isn't protecting your family from baddies in your house with a rifle at short range. Close combat in urban areas usually with several other similarly equipped soldiers with you. With grenades too.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Sgt Alvin York's Colt Model 1911 was turned by Sgt York in Franceicon before returning to America, I believe the serial number is Colt 244408.
