    I was literally about to come back here and add “I also shouldn’t be allowed to own one of those Novak’s guns because I’d have someone put a dot on it.”

    Put a real thumb safety on one of these with a dot, get me a quality AIWB holster, and I will 100% carry it.

    I wonder if it was a pre- or post-upgrade gun that killed Steve Malloy

    Longtime S.W.A.T. Magazine Contributing Staff Member Steve Malloy was killed in a tragic shooting accident at his home on April 16.

    As best as can be determined, Steve had a 1903 Colt pistol in his waistband and when he bent over to tie his shoes, the pistol fell onto the floor and discharged—the bullet struck Steve in the chest. He was found in the garage, apparently trying to leave the home to summon aid.

    Hi wife Rhonda, daughter Stacey and son Ross survive him. Second Amendment proponents have lost a valuable ally. The firearms industry has lost an excellent writer. We have lost a friend. Rest in peace, Brother.

    Liked for the value of the information and not for the outcome.

    Looks like at least 2 mistakes contributed to the mishap.

    My wife and I watched Operation Chromite a few years ago, and I thought they were using Colt 1903 pistols. They were actually Tokarev TT-33 pistols, and played a big role throughout the movie.

    I had one for quite a bit that came from the super pawn & gun in a WW2 era full flap belt holster with a magazine in the magazine pocket that was for some other gun. Sights sucked, thumb safety sucked, but you could zip a whole mag of .32 into the 10 ring of a B-8 pretty easily at close range. I think I still have some zimmer patron plastic bullet practice ammo somewhere, which was… um, sometimes we shot up the house from the inside in the 1990s? In a safe way of course. Super safe.
