HANDLING REvOLvERS.
A Secret Service Man Tells About
Old-Time and Modern Weapons.

OIu-I1me anu NIOucrh "SuPohss
1.-THE longer a man carries revolver
the more careful he will be with 1t"
remarked Secret Service Officer Thorn
as E. Halls recently. I have carried a
revolver about 80 years. For one thing,
make it a rule never to fool with
pistol at all. I never point it toward
myself or anybody else, even though !
know it to be unloaded.
II believe there has been as much
change in revolvers in the last 80 years
as in everything else know of. Short
ly after the war, when I was In the
government service, the weapon that
carried, which was supposed to be
the best in use at that time, was a
Colts revolver. It was six-shooter
and loaded with powder and ball from
the front of the cylinder. The bullets
were round pieces Of lead and they had
to be pressed close on to the powder by
means of hinged ramrod that was set
in the under side Of the barrel. The
other end Of the cylinder was furnish
ed with nipples on which percussion
caps were placed. Those revolvers had
long rifle barrels, and except for the
fact that they were very susceptible
to dampness, they were admirable
weapons.
"One reason for the fine shooting
that could be done with a Colts re-
volver was the length of the barrel
and the size Of the handle, which gave
the hand a firm grip on the weapon.
The tendency since then has been to
shorten the barrel and decrease the
size of the grip so as to make the re-
volver easy to carry and these changes
have detracted greatly from the weap-
on's usefulness. The demand seemed
to be for a gun which should have a
large calibre and short barrel, to be
heavily charged. The consequence was
that the heaviness of the charge and
the weight of the bullet produced a
big recoil, which could not be prevent
ed on account of the short handle.
"Say," calculated the secret service
officer suddenly, did you ever reflect
on the reason why so many shots that
are fired with deadly intent fail of re-
suit? I'll tell you why it is. You see,
the average man, when he flies into
passion and wants to shoot somebody,
whips out a pistol, flourishes it around
in the air and then brings it down to a
level with his opponents head and
fires it, thinking doubtless that the
head is the best place at which to aim.
Then the defects which I have men,
toned. get in their work and the re-
coil elevates the revolver above the
would-be victims head, and the bullet
sails merrily into the sky or ceiling, as
the case may be.
"Now, that is all wrong. The head
is the smallest part of the body, and.
of course, presents the poorest target.
The best place to shoot man to put
him out of action and the place where
you are surest to strike him-where. in
fact, you can scarcely miss-is the
lower part of the body in the region of
the stomach. Instead of tlouriShing Il
revolver around in the air and bring
ing it down, the way to do it is to
quietly draw the weapon from the
pocket, drop it toward the ground, then
make an upward motion with the
