Re A Trio of Pocket .380 ACPs:
Steer Clear of NAAs Guardian, April 2006:
When you tested a new PPK, you had fail-to-fire problems in the double-action mode. Has S&W fixed the problem, and is this a one-gun problem, or is it occurring in the entire PPK line?

The April issue of Gun Tests was great (OK, so were all the previous ones), and I found several articles of particular interest.
Messy Old Mausers: I would be totally discouraged from buying one of the $99 rifles you reviewed, not wishing to acquire an expertise in cosmoline removal; however, I have seen Mitchells Mausers (www.MitchellSales.com) advertise new Mausers for $299 (collectors grade).
The extra cost might be a good trade-off against the work you did to get yours to the point of testing. According to Mitchells, these were manufactured in Serbia during WWII on German too...

NRA SUES MAYOR RAY NAGIN
The National Rifle Association has filed a motion for contempt against the City of New Orleans, the mayor and the acting chief of police for failure to comply with a temporary restraining order, handed down September 12, 2005, ordering an end to all illegal gun confiscations.
Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president, said, …Ray Nagin thinks hes above the law, and thats just wrong.
Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist said, During a federally declared emergency, [Nagin] abused his power and abandoned the very people he was sworn to protect. He took away the victims freedom and their basic means of self-defense during an ill-fated and peril...
