I've seen decent Apaches. It wasn't all that great a gun, but you can't
fault it as what it was - a cheap pocket gun.

Ah...worst weapons. My vote would have to be for the French made 'Apache'
from the turn of the 20th century. Horrible little thing that was a knife,
revolver and brass knuckles all in one. And sucked major donkey warbles! It
did nothing even remotely well. I think I would have rather carried a rock!
There is no such thing as a dream that you cannot obtain.
You may have to work for it, however.

Nah, just knocked the wind out of Ermey. Don't forget Jim, he' s a former
Marine, he's shot stuff we can only dream of shooting. <G>
On another show, they showed the dumbest weapon ever built. The "Davy
Crockett."

Haha! I bet that was funny. He wasn't hurt too badly, I assume?
Never tried a .454. I have an old .38 Special long nose revolver, and a .45
revolver. I live in an open-carry state, so there's certainly no issues with
that. I've blown through 200 rounds in one setting at the range with the
.45, and I've never had any pain. Does that .454 have a hard grip? Those
suck.
