[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3600512, member: 5391"] A C&P from the old IMDb board for [I]The Stand[/I], which is one of my favorite books by Stephen King. We had morphed to discussing his novel [I]11.22.63.[/I] A postscript if I might. King still goofs on guns. The gun used in the Derry episode is described as a Colt Police Special. That is barely acceptable, although to the best of my knowledge, Colt never made a revolver with that particular model name. All right; I'll give King a pass on that one. [B]But where he really shows his abysmal ignorance is when he describes the sales clerk 'rolling out the barrel and giving it a spin. clickclickclick'[/B] The price on the gun is way too low as well. Military surplus Enfields and Mausers cost more than that in the days when you could get them mail-order. Even surplus Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers cost a bunch more than that. [/QUOTE]
