Years Ago
(November
1963) A half-
century ago, our Gun World
cover model was Smith &
Wessons venerable .38 au-
tomatic, sitting locked and
loaded atop a custom ma-
chine rest built to the maga-
zine testing crews design
specifications. In the ac-
companying article, author
Dan Cotterman, who pulled
double duty as editor of
the highly-regarded Ameri-
can Reloaders Association
Bulletin, offered a history
lesson on Brownings
Hottest Handgun Cartridge, the .38 ACP,
and its direct descendent, the .38 Super.
45 YEARS AGO (NOVEMBER 1968) Through multiple mili-
tary and law enforcement connections, the editors of Gun
World obtained an early S&W Model B test rifle (see inset on
pg. 97), and revealed their findings in Smith & Wesson Thinks
Rifle. Originally, the new rifle was offered in five models, A
through E, and all were advertised as available in four calibers:
.308, .30-06, .270 and .243. What did the test reveal? We
found the Model B long on accuracy and short on weight, the
reviewers wrote, which is just the way a deer hunter likes it.
Today, Smith & Wesson produces traditional hunting rifles
primarily through Thompson/Center Arms, which it purchased
in 2007.
30 YEARS AGO (NOVEMBER 1983) In The Gray Ghosts of
Oberndorf, Bob Zwirz (GWs Eastern Editorial Director) wrote
of a cache of long-forgotten P-38s discovered in a huge WWII
German U-Boat pen in Bordeaux, France. After determining
that they were indeed issued to Frances Ministry of the Interior
and NOT the French militarywhich would have made them il-
legal for resale in the United StatesInterarms obtained sev-
eral thousand of the pistols for sale to collectors. It is
believed, Zwirz continued, they were used by an elite French
unit, the famous Compagnie Republicaine de Securite, which
ceased using the P-38s when they ran out of German-manufac-
tured ammo and quickly found out that the pistols would not
function reliably with anything produced in their own facilities.

If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never
be forgotten. - Rudyard Kipling
A S&W .38 Semi-Auto pistol graced our November 1963 cover.
The .458 Lott cartridge
was developed by Jack Lott
for use on Cape Bualo,
elephants, and other
big game animals.

15 YEARS AGO (NOVEMBER 1998) Benelli is certainly
no stranger to these pages, today or historically. In his ar-
ticle on the Italian manufacturers new Sport semi-auto
shotgun, GWeditor Steve Comus wrote glowingly,
The fit and finish of the internal steel parts tran-
scends what one often encounters in full-custom
rigs. There simply is not a crude point or part in or
on the gun.
Recently, Benelli has followed up the Sport with
the Sport II and the Super Sport.
10 YEARS AGO (NOVEMBER 2003) Our Spe-
cial Magnum Bonanza issue served up a caliber-
appropriate proportion of articles on the .458 Lott
(Rugers Mightiest Magnum), the long-barreled .44
Magnum Silhoutte Model revolver from Taurus, Ar-
malites .338 Lapua Magnumeven a Rimfire Magnum
Shootout between rifles chambered in .17 and .22.
The .458 Lott cartridge was developed by Jack Lott for use
on Cape Buffalo, elephants, and other big game animals. It is
currently in production by several manufacturers, and several
firearms makers continue to chamber rifles for it. GW

Our November 1983 issue focused on autoloaders, and featured a story
on a cache of Walther P-38s discovered in France.
In his cover review and test of SIG Sauers P250 in
November of 2008, author Stan Trzoniec called it A
pistol for all seasons.
This cover blurb from November 1968 touted
our super scoop on the S&W bolt-action rife.
