MOB CITY / L A Noir [TNT]
While noticing the lapses in continuity,sawed off shotguns that blow you into the next county with no recoil and poorly fitted shoulder holsters, I am really enjoying the series. I do have an idea about Teague's M1 carbine, though...we'll see next week if I'm right... Regards, Tecolote- tecolote

Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?
My first flight was at age 8 in 1957 aboard a Delta Airlines DC3 from Atlanta to Augusta, Ga. Since the DC3 has always been my favorite. The next year my Grandmother took to La to visit my cousins; that was aboard a DC7 or DC6. In 1977 I flew from Trinidad to Tobago on a DC6. Does a Cessna...- tecolote

MOB CITY / L A Noir [TNT]
Gangster Squad is indeed dreck, it was hard to enjoy the period detail watching it. Mob City could be awful and still be way better. I enjoyed it enough to watch it twice. One of my favorites bits was the sort of Dragnet-like dialoque Rothman and his buddy had with ex-con busboy right before the...- tecolote

MOB CITY / L A Noir [TNT]
I am looking forward to this,although after watching all of the previews(which are good), I'm wondering if I've spotted a spoiler involving Bugsy Seigel. Someone even took the time to teach Alexa Davalos the proper technique to rapid-wind a Leica screw-mount camera.... Regards, Tecolote- tecolote

BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!
Harrow's guns are: pistols from top to bottom: Smith & Wesson .44 Triple Lock,Remington Model 51,Savage 1903,Colt 1903, and a Webley MKVI .455. The shotgun is a Remington Model 11, and the rifle is a scoped, "sporterized" M1917 Enfield in .30-06. Nucky seems to be using a nickel plated .38...- tecolote

New Bonnie and Clyde... what do you think?
This pair of Colts,taken off the bodies of the pair, just sold at auction for $504,000. That publicity could give a boost to the movie's production. I'd be surprised if it's not another Public Enemies, nice production values and details, but fast and loose with the history... Regards, Tecolote- tecolote

The Untouchables TV show
The show runs every weeknight on MeTV. Almost every guntoter,good or bad, packs a Colt Official Police in a Nelson shoulder holster(the Colts are post WW2 models). Like the Colts, most of the women's hair styles are anachronistic. Ness goes after everybody,even Ma Barker. But I still like it so...- tecolote

45ACP Revolvers
I've had two of the Colt 1917 for years, one early issue and the other very late in the series. The early gun needed work,and I finally got it done. Both are good shooters and are big enough that recoil isn't an issue. Parts can be had from Jack First Gunshop and Numrich. Having no experience...- tecolote

The real Indiana Jones
When I was 4,way back when my mother read me his book "All About Dinosaurs". Never outgrew dinos,even 50+ years later,and still have the book... From the photos, it looks as though his Colt has a 6 inch barrel and is in an Audley holster. Strictly,speaking, it was probably an Army Special, same...- tecolote

Public Enemies
New guy here and first post. Watching the trailer it appears Dillinger and Purvis come face to face while JD is in a cell:If I recall correctly Purvis never laid eyes on Dillinger until he came out of the Biograph...Also it sounds as though Dillinger refers to Purvis as "the man who killed...- tecolote
