Can someone eli5 why it would be so self evident that “no argument is ever required as to the need of a revolver at home, at the office, when traveling”?? They say it like it’s apparent. Maybe at home you’re worried about burglary, but what’s going on at the office?

The demonstration is trivial, and is left as an exercise to the reader.

/s for those meetings that could have been emails

un/s I think the point was more so that conflicts can arise anywhere, and maybe rule of 3s. With them invoking an always be prepared mindset.

re/s Also a lot of people really don’t like their boss. Which is a selling point for employees and employers.

Of course it’s apparent, this is America 120 years ago. You don’t leave your house without your blazer, pipe, trench lighter, bowler hat, revolver, and buttplug (which is also a gun)

If you don’t know how to justify something, or don’t have the time/the room to, just say its self-explanatory.

$175 in today’s dollars (+ $17 for every inch on the barrel) sounds like a sweet deal to me, or $210 for hamerless version.

Wait, how do they make it hammerless?

Hammerless was/is used to refer to revolvers without a exposed hammer to snag on things. Basically so you can take it out of you pocket faster. It would still technically have a hammer. Although other firearms designs use a striker mechanism instead of a traditional hammer.

Of interest to me…

  • No mention of caliber. That would be somewhat unusual when advertising a specific model today.

  • “Bbl” abbreviation for “barrel”. I thought that was a modern boomer misabbreviation but apparently it is very old.
