Random gun crankery bookmark.

Every once in a while, I’ll mention a Smith and Wesson and say it is a J-frame or a K-frame or some other letter-frame.

Generally, I try to provide some context, for the benefit of the non-Smith and Wesson fans who make up part of my audience. However, I am not always successful at that.

So, here: a nifty recent article from Frank Jardim in American Handgunner explaining the various S&W frame types and what they all mean.

I’ll add this to the “reference” section on the sidebar, too. Come to think of it…

No, no, don’t thank me: I run a full service blog here.

    Now do the Colt variations.

    Mike:

    I’d love to. As it happens, I’ve picked up a lot more about Smith and Wessons than Colts, because of my interest in S&W. However, I’m ecumenical.

    The stuff I’ve added under “Firearms reference” is pretty much stuff I had bookmarked on my personal devices, and decided to move here so it was all centralized.

    That’s kind of a long winded way of saying: I don’t have any good Colt resources bookmarked. If you know of any you’d like to see added, I will be delighted to add them.
