Re: British S&W M&P "Victory Model" .380-in cal. Revolver.

Just checked and mine does have "United States Property" on the Left side of the Top Strap as well. Odds are I will get to fire this revolver this Saturday, which is a big deal seeing as I don't have a regular safe and legal place to shoot. Looking forward to it.

Hello
Yes, it does have US Property marked on it. On the left side of the top strap. I don't have it on me at this moment, but I'll look next time to see if it is marked "US Property" or "United States Property", I think if is the latter though.

Re: Memories of an 80s teenager and the first day of Boot Ca

Thanks for sharing some of your experiences, and thanks for saying I posted this in the right place. I guess this "story" would be at home on a Veteran's website and I have also posted it on a 1980s Pop Culture Forum I visit. But I think that Veterans can relate to it more, even if they ar...
