TRIVIA: What major western star did Roy Rogers replace in his first staring role? Why was he given that role?
Roy Rogers, a studio extra and bit player, replaced Gene Autry in" Under Western Stars". mainly on the basis that he could sing and he was at work that day..He was given the part when Autry failed to show up on a Monday, the first day of shooting of "Under Western Stars", due to excessive alcohol consumption. Rogers quip was, I started work that day as Leonard Slye, riding a horse named Broomstick, I went home as Roy Rogers riding a horse named Trigger. The Name Rogers was a salute to Will Rogers.

Radical, first time I saw this. Anyone own/fired one of these? Taurus Curve
I fired it the day I was in the shop looking for a new concealed carry weapon, it did the job just fine, the grip did feel a little weird and i could not fit all my fingers on it (pinky was floating) It does not have iron sites, external safety or slide release, which for someone who has been taught tactical firing is awkward. Another frownie face for me was that it is only a six and one capacity(which I wound up settling for anyway). Long story short it is about the equivalent of a .38 snub nose in my book..So I went home with my Glock 42 instead

thanks for the review, @ChingOwn , I'll scratch this off my bucket list! How you liking the Glock? I've fired a Sig P238, but I couldn't seem to get a good grip on it.

I like it for what it is. Ive yet to have a missfire, it is comfy in my IWB holster, and does not bother me when I am sitting which is great at movie theaters. The only thing that bothered me at first is the low caliber but I figure if I cant get you with the ol two to the chest and one to the head like I was trained,13 years ago then I'm fucked anyway. All in all I think it is the best .380 on the market. of course that is personal preference and why I bought it... It fits my hand way better than my Walther also, but thats what I get for getting high and thinking I can be cool like James.

Earlier this week, a Missouri federal judge preliminarily approved a class action settlement over allegations the triggers in millions of rifles produced and sold by Remington Arms Company LLC are faulty and can cause the rifles to accidentally discharge.

The Remington rifle class action lawsuit was initially filed in January 2013 by plaintiffs who had experienced an accidental discharge of their Remington firearms allegedly due to a trigger defect. The plaintiffs filed an amended class action lawsuit on April 8, which included allegations of fraudulent concealment and unjust enrichment. According to the Remington class action lawsuit, Remington was aware of design flaws associated with its Walker Fire Control trigger even before the rifles containing the trigger entered the market.

“Indeed, Defendants have known since 1979 that at least one percent of all Model 700 Rifles at that time would ‘trick,’ allowing them to fire unexpectedly without a trigger pull,” the amended Remington rifle class action lawsuit says. “On information and belief, Plaintiffs contend that this percentage is vastly understated and that all Model 700 Rifles are subject to unexpected firing without a trigger pull. This is because of the design defects inherent in the Walker Fire Control trigger assembly which are common to all Models that employ this fire control.”

According to the defective rifle class action lawsuit, the Walker Fire Control trigger utilizes a trigger connector, which “floats” above the trigger but is not actually attached to the trigger. When a rifle is fired, the connector allegedly separates form the trigger body, creating a gap that allows debris, moisture or other substances to become trapped. This buildup can allegedly prevent the trigger connector from returning to its proper placement, and increases the risk that the rifle will discharge without a trigger pull.

Under the terms of the Remington rifle settlement, Remington has agreed to replace the trigger systems on more than 7 million of its rifles. The class action settlement covers Remington Model 700, 721, 722, 725, Seven, Sportsman 78, 600, 660, 673, XP-100, 710, 715 and 770 firearms that contain a trigger mechanism that utilize a trigger connector.

Remington initially filed a notice indicating it would settle the defective trigger class action lawsuit in July 2014. The parties filed a joint motion seeking preliminary approval of the class action settlement in December.

The final approval hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 14, 2015.

Plaintiffs are represented by Richard Ramler of Ramler Law Office PC; Jordan L. Chaikin of Parker Waichman LLP; Richard Arsenault of Neblett Beard & Arsenault; Jon D. Robinson and Christopher Ellis of Bolen Robinson & Ellis LLP; Charles E. Schaffer of Levin Fishbein Sedran & Berman; Eric Holland and R. Seth Crompton of Holland Law Firm; Timothy Monsees of Monsees Mayer; and John Climaco and John Peca of Climaco Wilcox Peca Tarantino & Garofoli Co. LPA; and Mark Lanier of Lanier Law Firm.

The Remington Rifle Class Action Lawsuit is Pollard, et al. v. Remington Arms Company LLC, et al., Case No. 4:13-cv-00086, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Kansas City Division

The boyf has 4 guns. Rifles, shotguns.

I have 2 that my grandfather gifted to me. These 2 would have been from the 1930's.

I don't know what any of them are called though.

One that the boyf has is an SKS? Does that sound like something?

I prefer fishing!
