We had a wonderful time at the Abaca Badra. The place is lovely, comfortable with a Moroccan style. Breakfast is delicious! The owners, Gilles & Dominique, are very nice people, they made everything to make us fell like home. We recomended the tasting menu of Moroccan cuisine by Dominique... it's delicious!!! I would definitely recommend the Riad Abaca Badra for your staying at Morocco.
The owners were so considerate and thoughtful, providing great food, loads of information as well as a bottle of fresh cold water each day to take with us. The location was excellent for walking to all the key areas in Marrakech and the Riad was very typically Moroccan, adding an extra flavour of being away from it all.
nothing disliked at all.
We liked the location, because it's only 5 min walk from the markets and only 10 min from the square. Staff and owners were lovely. Got brilliant breakfast every morning, and at any time- even in the afternoon :)
Was no hair dryer in the room, like it said it would be. But then you could get one for 20€ deposit. Wich is weird because it's not like anybody gonna steal it. No TV in the room, no music or any kind of relaxing noise in all Riad. There was cd layer in the main seating area, but in 7 days never saw it on. And the main thing was that we could hear everything. We stayed on ground floor room, so every morning we could not sleep when somebody was having breakfasts. If we were up earlier, we needed to whisper because not to wake everybody up.
Gilles & Dominique were there for every need and made our family feel at home in their lovely riad which is ideally located close to the souks but in a quiet back-alley.
We just spent six nights at the Riad Abaca Badra, our second stay at the riad, and have already booked a third. I can't imagine a better riad in Marrakech. The Abaca Badra is lovely. It is spotlessly clean throughout and the public areas are well-appointed and spacious. The roof area is huge with sunbeds, tables, shaded seating and a bubbly hot-tub thing. We stayed in the Fez room and it too was spacious and comfortable. Our bed was just right and the pillows as good as home. The aircon is efficient and unobtrusive. The bathroom was large, there was always plenty of hot water and the complimentary shower gel smells fantastic. The food in the riad is amazing. Breakfast is delicious and large, to the extent that we didn't need lunch. There is free mint tea on request, very refreshing, and you'll never have to buy a bottle of water thanks to the two mains water filter/chillers on the ground floor and the roof. All riads should do this. Despite the vast numbers of restaurants Marrakech has to offer, the best cooking is still in the home and that is what the riad offers: superb traditional Moroccan home cooking. There is a large menu on offer, you simply order early in the day and the ingredients are bought fresh for you. And they buy well because the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. The dinners we enjoyed at the Abaca Badra have been the best of our four visits to Marrakech. The wine is excellent and the Abaca Badra Cocktail remains THE GREATEST DRINK ON EARTH. The riad is brilliantly located in a busy but quiet neighbourhood and easy to find, with the taxi drop-off literally just around the corner. Once you know what you're doing, the main square is a ten minute walk, the new town fifteen. There is an ATM five minutes away and two bureaus de change a similar distance. There are lots of small shops that can seemingly get you anything you need, including a pet shop offering hedgehogs.
Going home.
Gilles and Dominque's beautiful riad was a calm oasis in what seemed at first to be an alien world. We were warmly welcomed with our first (and so far best) cup of thé a la menthe as Gilles chatted to us in English and as much French as we could manage about the city around us. Our exquisite room was the perfect stopping point on our first night in Morroco. The relaxing roof terrace and massive and delicious breakfast the following morning were the icing on the cake. Fantastic place to stay.
Gilles and Dominique are a great couple and they did everything possible to make us comfortable, had a pick up for us at the airport and helped us make our plans for day trips outside of the Medina. They managed to arrange a party with live Gnawa music to celebrate my birthday and anniversary, even though it was during Ramadan.
We waited until the last evening to share the Hookah!
Our general rate is excellent+++. You are welcomed like a good friend to the family. The perfect well located place to stay when you visit Marrakech. Extremely good value for money. Strongly recommended!
Fantastic, perfect. This wasn't staying at some random accommodation, it was like staying with friends (Dominique and Gilles). One of the big downside of Marrakech is the lack of honesty in a lot of people which results in low confidence. I was going to Morocco for the first time with my wife, and so was quite apprehensive and nervous after reading so much bad stuff on the internet. Book your stay here and the worry and concerns seem to disappear. I requested the transfer (which I cannot recommend enough as all Riads are difficult to find), the transfer was perfect and smooth. It was professional and friendly service from the start to end. All costs itemised. I did some research on best places and cost for excursions but ended up booking everything through Gilles. Trust me, save yourself the bother, Gilles will give you the best deal. Also, as advised do not exchange in airport, there is a exchange near by, we were even borrowed a lot of money by Gilles on arrival until we were able to exchange our money, wow!!. We were also given a map and also advice on best places go and best routes to get there. The Riad is beautiful and so was our room. Its a short 10-15 minute walk from main square. To top it all up, they even arranged a Riad residents only lovely 3 course meal at their own expense on one of the nights, wow again!!!. You can't beat their service and hospitality. So, stop thinking..just book and relax...you will be well taken of, and trust Gilles and Dominique blindly. Finally, massive thanks to them.
Leaving the Riad, especially because they came outside personally to see us off.
So welcoming even tho we arrived late and had to leave early. Even offered us tea and something to eat tho it was late at night, emails before we arrived were very informative. Made us eggs for breakfast! Very helpful.
I can't praise Dominique and Gilles enough. From my first email until the waved goodbye to my daughter and I they couldn't have been more helpful. They arranged the airport transfer, made a beautiful meal for us on arrival, Dominique escorted us to the night market and also gave us great tips and information. They also arranged our bus ticket to Essauoira, made us an early breakfast and then took us to the bus station. On our return to Marakech Dominique and Gilles arranged a taxi to collect us from the bus station, again prepared a beautiful meal for us and then sorted out a taxi to the airport. This was my first trip to Morroco and I had my 11 year old daughter with me so I was a bit nervous. Having such kind and helpful hosts made all the difference. It honestly felt like we were visiting friends rather than staying in a strange place. Almost forgot to say- the riad is very centrally located, clean and decorated beautifully- a home away from home.
Gilles and Dominique are excellent hosts who make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They have spacious rooms with comfortable beds and an excellent shower. The rooftop terrace was perfect for catching some afternoon sun and relaxing.
Like everything in the old town in Marrakesh, it was hard to find the first time.
This riad was great! The owners are absolutely fabulous, very hospitable and friendly. Gilles stayed late in order to greet us after our excursion and had dinner ready and waiting for us upon our arrival (about 9:30pm). The dinner was the best we had in all of Morocco, while 16 euros seemed a bit steep at first thought, I was pleasantly surprised at the 3 course meal we were given, it was absolutely FABULOUS! Well worth the 16 euro in my opinion. Gilles also woke up bright and early to prepare us breakfast before we left to head to the airport, arranged a taxi for us and even gave us a parting gift of a small tajine as we were leaving. Overall, I wish we had spent more time at this Riad as it is beautiful and the owners make you feel at home while your there. Highly recommend!
It was a bit further away from the medina and the wifi did not work in our room.
The Riad owners were exceptional, they went out of their way to make sure our holiday was perfect. The location was excellent. We ate here and food was excellent too. Very friendly.
From the moment we arrived were we made so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, and Gilles was a mine of information and master at arranging things. The Riad is spotlessly clean, and the home cooked food was the best we had while in Marrakesh.
Dominique and gilles hospitality was fantastic. Tea and pastries appeared whenever we wanted. Riad was an oasis of calm. Comfortable and good value for money.
Clean,friendly, very helpful, good food. There is nothing we could find to fault the place. Rooms are spacious. Location is good, close to centre, but not too noisy.
Leaving for rain soaked Blighty! Morroccan passport control, -Leave PLENTY of time!!
The rooftop is nice with sunbeds. The hosts Dominique and Gilles were very kind and funny, we enjoyed their company. The breakfast was good. Dominique helped us bargaining for good prices for souvenirs in the market.
We're extremely disappointed by the scores of positive reviews; we had a very bad experience. The Riad is down a dead end alley, very scary to walk down the small dark alley looking lost, it attracts many guys wanting to help with directions in return for payment. We explicitly asked Gilles in advance for one large bed, but got two small very uncomfortable beds pushed together. It was more like two hammocks than beds, all hollow in the middle. The fluorescent light in the room malfunctioned and was flashing like lightning every few seconds the whole night, we couldn't make it stop. The room has no glass in the windows, the big square openings face the courtyard and common area, there is absolutely no privacy, we could hear everything from the other guests and they could hear inside our room. The room was very cold, and the air conditioning couldn't warm it even at max heat. I could not get any sleep the whole night. The room price is very expensive, and their €2.50 tourist tax is the most in the city. Guests don't get a key for the front door, you always have to knock and wait for someone to let you in. The shower is very small and has no curtain or door, so the water sprays on the bathroom floor. We paid more than double the price of other places, because we wanted a good experience for our last night in Morocco, but it was a disaster. They don't even accept credit cards. I recommend staying at RIad Dar Aby for less than half the price.
I would strongly recommend this Riad. Gilles & Dominique do everything they can to make your stay memorable. Make sure that you have dinner at the Riad during your stay it is excellent.
We had an amazing stay, the Riad is wonderful, the staff amazing and very friendly and helpful, the food superb the location is perfect and we want to go back ASAP!
Having to leave at the end of our holiday... Wish we were still there
The owners Gilles and Domenique were exceptional.
Nothing was too much trouble for Dominique and I'd highly recommend eating in for the evening meal and as well as the breakfast (which is included in the nightly tariff) as the food is excellent and very reasonably priced.
Beautiful riad in the Medina, close to the amenities of Bab Doukala- local market, mosques, public and private Hammams. Riad owned by charming French couple who couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome. Rooms were chic, had a safe and were cleaned daily. The riad had exquisite carving and many interesting design features. Breakfast was varied with, yogurt, bread, eggs, fresh juice. The roof terrace was a great place to relax and enjoy complimentary mint tea. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.
Gilles and Dominique were extremely friendly and accommodating.

MXR M84 Bass Fuzz Deluxe effectpedal for bass guitar, fuzz tone, control for tone, fuzz, dry and wet, footswitch, works with 9V-Battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter (optional not included), Made in USA.
First off this is easily one of the best looking pedals on the market today. The metallic brown/coppar looks should be a welcome addition to any pedalboard.The controls are very responsive and makes this one of the most versatile fuxx-boxes I've tried. The dry control should be used sparingly though. To much of the dry mix in will just sound like your clean tone with some static on top. Not a big issue since even with the dry control at 0, it still preserves a lot of low end.It won't do over the top aggressive fuzz tones, but it's really great at adding more sustain and grit to your bass lines. It does a pretty good job at replicating Muse sounds, which I've come to understand, is pretty much the benchmark for bass fuzz these days. I've found use for this in a lot of songs that typically wouldn't be associated with fuzz. Recommended!
Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
This is a great fuzz pedal solidly built a wide range of sounds can be achieved with this pedalBuild Quality: its solidly built its been rattling around in gig bags and on pedal boards having no trouble taking it and works like a dreamSound Quality: you can get a wide range of fuzz's from it everything from slight distortion to full psychedelic fuzziness the controls are easy to use and you can get a great sound from it with only slight fine tuning.Overall its a well built pedal which sounds great with no noises when switching on or off and true bypass switching making a great pedal all round and well worth the money
This is a fantastic little fuzz pedal! The best and most obvious feature on this pedal is the ability to freely dial in a mix of the wet and dry signals! This allows you to get a wide variety of effects without losing any of your original signal! The fuzz is stinging with the tone up full and with the tone rolled off the fuzz is huge. The tone and fuzz controls only affect the wet signal. It is true bypass and the pedal itself is a solid construction and a nice size for your board. Overall I rate this product very good. There's room for more features of course but I like the simplicity of this product!

text: Ricciardo giggles at reports that he upped his game since Webber announcement 3 July, 2013 Daniel Ricciardo Daniel Ricciardo did himself no harm with a stellar showing during qualifying for the British Grand Prix, and then doing well in the race despite a bad start from fifth on the grid, but the Australian scoffs at suggestions that he has suddenly raised his game in the wake of Mark Webber's decision to quit Formula 1 at the end of 2013 and thus make available a highly sought after race seat at Red Bull. Ricciardo reflected on the weekend at Silverstone, "Obviously this was one of the best weekends of my F1 career – and I'm hearing quite a lot about how I've upped my game because Mark Webber's leaving Red Bull Racing." "How do you respond to reporting like that? I think you just have to giggle and let it go," he mused He did however admit, "Excited that there's a seat up for grabs? Definitely." "More motivated and trying harder than I have been before? Trust me, I've been trying as hard as I can since I got here – and the motivation's been at maximum for as long as I can remember," revealed the Toro Rosso driver. Ricciardo added in his preview of the forthcoming German Grand Prix, "Waking up this morning (Tuesday) I'm a fairly happy man. It's my birthday, I'm 24. I've got family in town and there's a nice dinner on the cards. I think I'm even allowed a beer – but only one pint because we've got a race this weekend." (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

The Santa Anna Library received a 2014 grant from the Coleman County Foundation to complete the automation process of the library collection. The first grant in 2013 allowed the library to purchase the computer program and book barcodes. The 2014 grant purchased the checkout computer and patron cards with barcodes. In a little over a year, the Santa Anna Library has entered the electronic age with all books listed with barcodes in the computer.
To date the library has processed into the computer system over 11,000 items with more being done weekly. During the 2014 Summer Reading Program, library workers and volunteers used automation in checking out books to the children to see how it worked. Within the next several weeks, plans are to be total automated with the checkout being on the computer which will eliminate check out cards and other paper type items. This process is also helpful in looking to see if the library has a particular book and if it is on the shelf or checked out.
The Library is proud of the fact that there is one family with four generations having one of the new library cards. The Guthrie family has been a vital part of the library for many years. Alice Guthrie Spillman remembers attending summer reading on the staircase of the old City Hall. Her great-great-niece and nephew, Ariel and Beckett Guthrie attend each summer with their big sister, Marin helping as a Junior Leader.
Everyone is invited to stop by the library and get one of the new library cards and check out a good book. Library hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Pictured are four generations of the Guthrie Family showing their Santa Anna Library patron library cards.

The room was very very small and the walls were not at all sound proof. There was no window but a door which when opened touched the bed, so you could not open in the evening for air. The bed was very short, not a normal length. The hotel was 15 - 20 min walk to the nearest restaurant which was very expensive and which was also their partner Hotel Diana.

We used this hotel as an overnight stop going to and returning from Lake Garda, Italy. The hotel has very clean with helpful staff. Although the hotel didn't have a restaurant for an evening meal there were a few restaurants in close proximity to the hotel, however, the hotel did do a nice breakfast for 7 euros per person. Would definitely use this hotel again if we were staying in this area.

Students develop titanium dioxide roof tile coating that removes up to 97 percent of smog-causing nitrogen oxides
At left, two tiles coated with the titanium dioxide mixture. At right, uncoated tiles. At top, a commercially available tile with titanium dioxide.
Mini atmosphere chamber built by the students for the experiments.
A team of University of California, Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering students created a roof tile coating that when applied to an average-sized residential roof breaks down the same amount of smog-causing nitrogen oxides per yearas a car driven 11,000 miles.
They calculated 21 tons of nitrogen oxides would be eliminated daily if tiles on one million roofs were coated with their titanium dioxide mixture. They also calculated it would cost only about $5 for enough titanium dioxide to coat an average-sized residential roof.
That would have a significant impact in Southern California, where 500 tons of nitrogen oxides are emitted daily in the South Coast Air Quality Management District coverage area, which includes all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
Last month, the research by the UC Riverside team – Carlos Espinoza, Louis Lancaster, Chun-Yu "Jimmy" Liang, Kelly McCoy, Jessica Moncayo and Edwin Rodriguez – received an honorable mention award for phase two of an Environmental Protection Agency student design competition.
A UC Riverside student team who worked on the project last year received $15,000 as a phase one winner of EPA's P3 (People, Prosperity and the Planet) competition. That team consisted of William Lichtenberg, Duc Nguyen, Calvin Cao, Vincent Chen and Espinoza (an undergraduate then who is now a graduate student at UC Riverside).
Both teams were advised by David Cocker, a professor of chemical and environmental engineering, and Kawai Tam, a lecturer at the Bourns College of Engineering.
Nitrogen oxides are formed when certain fuels are burned at high temperatures. Nitrogen oxides then react with volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight to create smog.
Currently, there are other roofing tiles on the market that help reduce pollution from nitrogen oxides. However, there is little data about claims that they reduce smog.
The students set out to change that. They coated two identical off-the-shelf clay tiles with different amounts of titanium dioxide, a common compound found in everything from paint to food to cosmetics. The tiles were then placed inside a miniature atmospheric chamber that the students built out of wood, Teflon and PVC piping.
The chamber was connected to a source of nitrogen oxides and a device that reads concentrations of nitrogen oxides. They used ultraviolet light to simulate sunlight, which activates the titanium dioxide and allows it to break down the nitrogen oxides.
They found the titanium dioxide coated tiles removed between 88 percent and 97 percent of the nitrogen oxides. They also found there wasn't much of a difference in nitrogen oxide removal when different amounts of the coating were applied, despite one having about 12 times as much titanium dioxide coating. There wasn't much of a difference because surface area, not the amount of coating, is the important factor.
The current team of students, all of whom are set to graduate in June, are hopeful a new team of students will continue with this project and test other variables.
For example, they want to see what happens when they add their titanium dioxide to exterior paint. They are also considering looking at applying the coating to concrete, walls or dividers along freeways. Other questions include how long the coating will last when applied and what impact changing the color of coating, which is currently white, would have.

Watford are closing in on a permanent deal for Sunderland's Nyron Nosworthy, Sky Sports understands.

The 31-year-old has just returned to the Stadium of Light following a successful loan spell at Vicarage Road.
Nosworthy is one of a number of loan players that Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill wanted to cast his eye over following his appointment.
With defensive reinforcements in short supply at Sunderland, Nosworthy appeared set to challenge for first-team place.
However, Watford have since moved to try and secure the return of the central defender - affectionately known as 'The Nos'.
Now a deal appears to be close and he looks set to agree an 18-month deal with the Championship outfit.

DU-HA Storage Cases
Pickup trucks are great for hauling building supplies and lawn and garden products, but what about smaller items, the kinds of things that might be organized and stored in the trunk of a car? The cab of a pickup generally doesn't have storage space for such gear, so it ends up clumped in piles on the seat or rolling around on the floor…until now. Thanks to DU-HA, you can organize and store your stuff right in the cab of your pickup.
- DU-HA® - Behind-the-Seat Storage CaseStarting at: $161.95$161.95
- DU-HA® - Underseat Storage CaseStarting at: $161.95$161.95
- DU-HA® - ToteStarting at: $292.95$292.95
- DU-HA® - Receiver Caddy™ Ball Mount Storage ContainerStarting at: $31.45$31.45
- DU-HA® - Reach E-Z™ Extendable Reaching ToolStarting at: $31.45$31.45
DU-HA, Inc. is based in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Their specialty is creating car organizers that enable you to make use of the unused space behind and under the seats of pickup trucks. To accomplish this, DU-HA custom designs each storage unit to make optimal use of the space available in each particular truck. Unlike a universal container that must be a compromise in order to fit many vehicles, a DU-HA storage unit will hold much more, giving you more value for your dollar. DU-HA storage units include dividers to organize your gear, which also double as gun racks to safely transport your guns.
Loose gear rolling around on the floor of your pickup can become damaged as it rolls around, and stuff piled on the seats looks unsightly and has to be moved whenever passengers are transported. Finding particular items can be difficult and time consuming when you have to root through a messy pile, and valuable left lying in the open invites thieves into your truck. The DU-HA is the efficient storage solution. It's perfect for regular items such as a flashlight, gloves, first aid kit, jumper cables, tie-downs, but it's also ideal for a contractor's tools, athletic equipment, and hunting and fishing gear.
In keeping with their commitment to storage solutions, the company has developed many other products. The DU-HA Tote is a portable and lockable storage unit for pickup beds and the back of SUVs. When mounted on the Tote Slide Bracket, you can slide the Tote out the back of the vehicle, so you can access your gear while standing behind the bumper. The Receiver Caddy gives a handy place in your pickup bed to safely store ball mounts and the like. The Reach E-Z Extendable Reaching Tool makes it easy to unload cargo from a pickup bed, allowing the retrieval of items that are at the front of the box.

This looks great in the truck, keeps things from sliding around, the price was great and no shipping.
| Posted by David | (Chesapeake, VA)
Fits perfectly and the color matched perfectly. Very usable storage box. I am completely satisfied.
| Posted by James | (Schererville, IN)
The product fit my 2014 GMC Sierra perfectly! I was able to put a lot of items into this container, bigger than what I thought it was going to be.
| Posted by Daniel | (Groveport, OH)
I bought one of these for my 2008 Super Crew cab after having my straps and other items I put under my back seat slide forward every time I slowed down for a traffic light or stop sign. It was an awesome idea and you can pack a lot of stuff in this cool storage box if you don't need it for guns. Ohio law requires that any long guns be in plain sight, if you leave the back seat up, then they are in plain sight, and if you to inside a store, you just flip your seat down and they are concealed. It worked so well in my 2008, the second thing I ordered when I got my new 2013 F-150 was another one of these underseat storage bins. It installed in less than 2 minutes like the first one and looks as if it were factory made with the truck. Great Item! A little costly, but can't complain to much about that I guess. It's built very durable and will outlast the seats themselves!
| Posted by Gerard | (Sterling Heights, MI)
The Storage unit fit underneath the seats well and it holds a lot of stuff. I appreciated the tie downs for the storage unit, but the tie downs could be longer.
| Posted by Steve | (Prescott, WI)
Good product for storage. It is actually larger than it looked. A bit too expensive.
| Posted by Glenn | (Shallotte, NC)
I didn't have any place to put my rope trailer hitch, chain, etc. in my 2012 Silverado ext. cab except underneath the back seat where it would slide out every time you brake. I've stumbled upon the DU-HA and I adore it. 2 straps hold it under the seat snug, it fits perfectly and looks excellent. The price I thought was kind of high for what it is, but after I received it, I was more pleased and would certainly buy it again.
| Posted by Timothy | (Regina, SK)
I received my Du-Ha storage in no time flat. I was really pleased with the product and it fit well behind the seat it my 2005 3500 crew cab. Finally, I got all the stuff from under my seat. As for the price, all the stuff these days, it kind of more expensive than it really should be. However, I am pleased with it.
| Posted by Harold | (Yabucoa, PR)
I bought this underseat storage system for my new F-150. I did all the on-line research and this seemed to be the best value. It installed in minutes and fit perfectly under the seat. I also bought the Husky WeatherBeater floor mats, and they snug right up to the box. Excellent!
| Posted by Ronald C | (Valdosta, GA)
A wonderful product that is well made. The installation was very easy. I finally have a place to keep all the items perfectly organized. The option to carry two long guns in it is great for hunting season.

240 V Outlet
A standard 15-amp 120 volt socket (NEMA 5-15) will have two vertical parallel slots like this (| |) and also have a third round hole for the ground.
The wider slot connects to the white neutral conductor (grounded conductor) and the narrow slot connects to the black live (or hot) conductor.
You must make sure to preserve polarity when replacing these.
A 15-amp 240 volt socket (NEMA 6-15) will have two slots in tandem like this: - - plus a third round hole for the equipment ground conductor.
The 20 amp version (NEMA 6-20) will have one vertical and one horizontal (| -).
The colors of these wires (in the ones I've opened) are usually black and red. The green is always supposed to be used for GROUND.
Now here is where it gets confusing: The 120 volt/20 amp socket (NEMA 5-20) looks like this: (- |) - a mirror image of the 240 volt 20-amp socket.
A 120 volt socket must NEVER be used on a 240 volt circuit for just that reason - CONFUSION by an end user.
You might want to test all the outlets in your house and have an electrician replace whatever looks bogus (if you don't know how to do it).

"I know what you're thinking, punk. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"And remember, compared to other guns, Revolvers Are Just Better. Back to Cool Guns.

Colt Python
One of Colt's most popular revolvers, along with the Single Action Army. Chambered for the powerful .357 Magnum round, this gun was still hand-fitted and assembled up until it was discontinued by Colt, instead of by machine, making them very expensive to produce compared to equivalent Smith & Wesson or Ruger revolvers. The Python can be distinguished by the "rib" on top of the barrel (which, unlike a ventilation rib on a shotgun barrel, actually serves no purpose). In addition, the cylinder rotation (clockwise) and barrel rifling (counter-clockwise) are the opposite of every other major revolver maker; the latter is a big red flag to ballistics labs. Colt also released several other "snake" guns (King Cobra, Diamondback, Anaconda), but these were production weapons and did not enjoy the same degree of hand-fitting that the Python did. (Though still with more hand-fitting than most competing revolvers.) Notable also is its rich, "Royal Blue" finish. Which is appropriate given how popular they were with royalty, having been collected by King Juan Carlos of Spain, just about every Middle Eastern monarchnote , and the King of Rock & Roll. The Python was a popular gun although expensive even in its time; Colt manufactured the less labor intensive Trooper series in the same caliber as a lower cost alternative to the Python.
Colt Single Action Army
The Single Action Army, also known as the Peacemaker or Equalizer, is Colt's original .45 revolver (though in civilian use, the .44-40 version, known as the "Frontier Six-Shooter", was more popular since it allowed a cowboy to have a revolver and a lever-action rifle - most commonly the Winchester Model 1873 - that fired the same ammo). Developed in 1873, the Single Action Army eventually became the standard amongst gun-toting citizens of The Wild West for its reliability and high performance. Even after the West ceased to be "wild", the SAA remained popular and Colt continued to produce them up until the outbreak of World War II focused all of their attention on military contracts, and resumed in 1956 because the growing popularity of Westerns resulted in significant new demand. As its name suggests, this gun is a single action, which meant the hammer had to be pulled back after every shot. Also, it had a "fixed" frame, with the cylinder chambers accessible only via a thumb-operated loading gate — the weapon could only be loaded and unloaded a single round at a time. Typically in real life it would only be loaded with five rounds ("load one, skip one, load four", as single-action shooters put it) since the SAA's hammer has the potential to "bounce" when jostled; with nothing between the hammer and firing pin, this has the potential to set off a cartridge (some modern reproductions fix this flaw; the most faithful ones intentionally do not, nor do the current-production Colts); this is usually not shown in fictional depictions. Known among shooters for its "four-click" cocking, with the clicks being said to spell out "C-O-L-T". The SAA is made primarily in three barrel lengths: 7.5 inch (the original cavalry-issue length and also popular with civilians for target shooting), 5.5 inch (originally issued to artillery troops, with most cavalry-issue pistols eventually converted to this length) and 4.75 inch (exclusively for civilian sales, and popular among many gunfighters because it allowed a quicker draw since a shorter barrel clears the holster faster). In 1894, the famous "Bisley" variant, with a slightly bent-forward grip and a slightly bent-down hammer spur, was introduced for target shooting at the Bisley, England firing range...but most of them were actually bought for self-defense, as the modifications allowed for quicker shooting as well as easier aiming.
Ruger Blackhawk
So along came The Western, and it was good. Suddenly there was a spike in demand for "cowboy" style single-action revolvers in the style of the Colt SAA. There was one minor problem; Colt wasn't making them at that point (having switched over to law enforcement and defense), and neither was anyone else. Along came Bill Ruger, maker of .22LR target pistols and all-purpose gun genius (along with being regarded as The Quisling by the American firearms community). Having tested the waters with the .22 "Single Six" model, he then offered what was essentially a modernized SAA. Simplifying the lockwork, and using modern coil springs as opposed to Colt-style flat leaf springs, the Blackhawk was strong enough to support the mighty .357 and .44 Magnum calibers, and its success caused Colt to start offering the SAA again. A lawsuit involving a negligent discharge (with a stolen gun; although the jury wasn't informed of that fact), led to the "transfer bar," making the Blackhawk the first single action revolver that could be safely carried with all six cylinders loaded note (and ugly "billboard" warning labeling on all Ruger weapons from that point forward; as a result "pre-warning" Rugers command a slight premium from collectors). The .44 Magnum variant was actually offered before the Smith & Wesson Model 29 (allegedly Ruger got their hands on some spent casings from S&W's testing of the Model 29 and were able to rush the .44 Magnum version to market as a result), and many argue that the single action "spin" grip makes a better platform for the cartridge.
S&W Model 3 "Schofield"
The Pepsi to the Colt SAA's Coke, the Schofield was one of the first "top-break" revolvers (allowing the entire cylinder to be loaded in a short amount of time, at the cost of structural integrity); rolled out in 1870 for the US Army. Due to the fact that its unique .45 cartridge (shorter than the .45 Colt), despite being specifically told by the Army to chamber it in .45 Colt, could be loaded in the Colt and not vice versa, large numbers of Schofields were pulled from military service and sold on the civilian market. Since it was faster to load and less expensive than the Colt (some things never change), it was very popular with cops and robbers alike in the Wild West. Often underrepresented in period Westerns, due to the iconic status of the Colt. Related models like the Model 3 "Russian" (so named because it was bought in large numbers by the Tsar's army; its .44 Russian cartridge was the basis of the .44 Special, which in turn was the basis of the legendary .44 Magnum) were also popular. And built in much larger numbers by S&W because they didn't have to pay any royalties to Major Schofield for the other Model 3 subtypes.
S&W Model 10 "Military & Police"
A .38 Specialnote revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, and an early example of the "swing-out" cylinder used in virtually all modern double-action revolvers. For most of the 20th Century, this weapon, along with Colt's revolvers (its main rival), was practically synonymous with "police gun," replacing older .32 caliber revolvers and reigning supreme until the rise of the double-stack auto. If you see a police officer with a revolver in pretty much any media, it will be this one. Some police departments still use them today, and even the military has used them from time to time to arm sentries, as opposed to a heavier automatic. Smith & Wesson later standardized the M&P frame as the "K" frame, building blued and stainless steel .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers on it. During World War II, it was widely used by the British and US militaries (mainly for real-line duty, but also for pilots, aircrew and sailors), and dubbed the "Victory Model". Victory Model revolvers can be easily identified by the "V" prefix on the serial number and a frame marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY", "U.S. PROPERTY" or "U.S. NAVY".note
Colt Police Revolvers
The Rival to the Smith & Wesson Model 10. Colt manufactured three revolvers with the branding "Police" during the 20th century: the Police Positive (1907-'47), the Official Police (1927-'69), and the most widely-produced version, the Police Positive Special (1908-'95). There was also the Colt Detective Special (1927-'86 and 1993-'95), a snub-nosednote variant of the Police Positive Special which was popular among plain-clothes detectives, undercover cops and railway clerks. Colt revolvers were dominant among police officers until Smith & Wesson took the lead in The Sixties; much like the Smith & Wesson, "Colt revolver" was shorthand for "police gun" for much of the 20th century. Well over a million were made. During World War II, a variant of the Official Police, the Colt Commando, was used to arm military police, spies, security guards at defense plants and shipyards, and crews on merchant ships, but was made in much smaller numbers than the comparable S&W Victory Model.
LeMat revolver
Cap & ball revolver used by the Confederate side during the American Civil War. Its claim to Rule of Cool status comes from the fact that the nine-shot cylinder revolves around a secondary barrel which fires a 16-gauge buckshot round. It was significantly bulkier than other revolvers of the period, and significantly more expensive, so even in its time it was rare. But those cavalrymen who could afford one loved them, since the added weight's no big deal when your horse is the one carrying it. Expect a scene where the Gun Goes Click, only for the user to fire the second barrel at the surprised antagonist. Modern reproductions are available from the Pietta company of Brescia, Italy.
S&W Model 29
The Dirty Harry gun. The iconic speech Clint Eastwood gives in that film on the benefits of heads, and the blowing clean off thereof, cemented this revolver and its .44 Magnum round as the Memetic Badass of the gun world note and started the action movie arms race that ended with such ridiculous Hand Cannons as Charles Bronson's .475 Wildey Magnum in Death Wish 3. Large-bore revolvers are still the first choice in the field of personal artillery (since the modern choice is typically a Smith & Wesson Model 500), one major legacy is that almost every revolver in a videogame will also be a Magnum. The Model 29 was built on the same frame as the .357 Model 27 "Registered Magnum"; this would later be standardized as the "N" frame. Notably, the actual revolver used in the film is exhibit 86 at the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, VA.
Webley Revolvers
The Webley top-break self-extracting revolver. Used by British, British Empire and Commonwealth forces between 1887 and 1963 as well as civilians to this day. No, that's not a joke: in various marks, this gun was used from the Colonial wars of the Empire to manning guard posts on the Berlin Wall, with only minor modifications in form. Fired the infamous .455 Webley round, one of the most powerful ever used in top-break revolvers, for when .45 S&W just would not cut it early in its reign. However, many later models used the .38/200 as, after World War I, the British army decided that there WAS indeed such a thing as overkill and that the .38/200 worked well, although many solders at the time felt that the weapon had been nerfed. One of the most widely circulated and reliable revolvers of all time, and its iconic shape and long use means it will be found in pretty much any film, game or series involving British or Commonwealth troops from the Victorian period onwards. The most recent version, still in production today, is a version made in India for civilian sales; it's essentially a shrunk-down version of the .38 caliber version, chambered in the near-obsolete .32 S&W Long (as India's gun laws place severe restrictions on the calibers of guns that civilians can own).
Taurus Judge
A double action, five-shot revolver capable of shooting either .45 Long Colt or .410 bore shotgun shells. The name actually started as a Fan Nickname, after several circuit judges in Miami started carrying the pistol for self-defense. Although popular, it tends to get the same negative rap as the Desert Eagle (bought by people who know nothing about guns) due to its inaccuracy (the cylinders are too long for the .45 cartridge, and the rifling inhibits shot patterning...though it's sufficiently accurate for the very-close-range self-defense that it's designed for), the usual misconception that one doesn't have to "aim" anything firing shotshells, and the low performance of .410 hunting rounds in a self-defense setting. There's an increasing number of .410 shells designed specifically for self-defense use in the Judge and some of them are pretty effective, but there are plenty of handguns that work at least as well and aren't as bulky. There's also the "Raging Judge Magnum", which is based on the Taurus Raging Bull frame and adds the heavy-hitting .454 Casull (it's to .45 Colt what .357 Magnum is to .38 Special) to the list of cartridges it can chamber. Ordinary Judge revolvers have cylinders designed specifically to keep some idiot from sticking .454 Casull in them (the chambers are long enough that otherwise this would've been possible), because they're nowhere near strong enough to handle the higher-pressure round. The most recent iteration is the Circuit Judge revolving rifle, which is exactly what it sounds like: a Judge frame with a stock and a much longer barrel. No word on whether a "Circuit Judge Magnum" with .454 Casull capability will be made.
Nagant M 1895
A seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed and produced by Belgian industrialist L�on Nagant for the Russian Empire, it acquired fame and glory in the wars of the Empire and the Soviet Union afterwards. Nearly unique for a Victorian Age revolver for the vast majority were double-action (the few single-action models were converted afterwards), it used specially designed fully-enclosed cartridges, sealed itself against the barrel and could make good use of a sound suppressor. So ubiquitous that during the Russian Civil War and the 1920s, in Russian language nagan was the colloquial word for "pistol". People said it was so reliable that it could be dropped in the mud, bashed on concrete, rusted to the core, and chewed by a furious bear and it would still fire without a problem. Its reliability is especially impressive given that the Nagant is significantly more complex internally than it needed to be. It was replaced as a general issue weapon by the TT automatic pistol in the 1930's, although it was still a common weapon for paramilitary forces such as the NKVD. Some of them are still in use for security purposes in modern Russia, usually 2 to 4 times older than men who carry them. Today, surplus Nagants are among the most inexpensive handguns that can be bought in the United States, but the same cannot be said of their unique ammunition. Also, due to its design the Nagant M1895 was the only revolver which could use a sound suppressor effectively (anyone who knows about revolvers designs knows that due to a gap between the front end of the cylinder and the rear end of the barrel, normally a revolver is unaffected by a sound suppressor, more detailed information on The Other Wiki). The NKVD and KGB noticed this, and since the action of a revolver is quieter than a semi-automatic, this made it well-suited to assassination. The M1895 was actually the last in a long line of L�on Nagant's revolver designs, with the earlier models lacking the gas-seal mechanism having been adopted by the armies of Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Serbia, Brazil, Poland and Greece.
Charter Arms Bulldog
A snub-nosed, five-round revolver available in .357 Magnum and .44 Special (a downgraded version of .44 Magnum with less recoil). It was extraordinary popular in The Seventies and The Eighties, with more than half a million units sold in less than twenty years, due to its light trigger pull, its surprisingly high accuracy and power for such a small gun, and its size making it excellent for concealed carry (or a cop's backup gun). Notoriously, it was the Weapon of Choice for the "Son of Sam" Serial Killer, earning him the media nickname "The .44 Caliber Killer".
S&W Model 500
The hand cannon of hand cannons, the Model 500 is a double-action, five-round revolver firing the largest caliber production revolver cartridge available for public sale today. Designed as a serious handgun hunter's weapon, the .500 S&W Magnum round the revolver fires can take down even large African game such as cape buffalo, rhino and elephant. When Smith & Wesson created the .500 S&W Magnum, they had no weapon that could handle the muzzle energy and pressure generated by the round, so they built a whole new gun around their largest revolver frame, the X Frame. Later, the Model 460 variant was introduced, chambering the also-new .460 S&W Magnum (an even more powerful version of the already very powerful .454 Casull), which is the highest-velocity production handgun cartridge. After it debuted, it generated a fair amount of controversy in a number of state and national governments over the possibility of criminals utilizing a handgun with this much firepower. Said controversy quickly died down when legislators realized nobody in their right mind would use this thing in a shootout, the price of the weapon and its ammunition further adding to its impracticality. Firing the weapon requires a fair amount of body strength and training, as an untrained or unfit shooter could find the recoil sending the gun into their face or the expelled gasses giving them severe burns. Thusly, the weapon is largely restricted to fit, wealthy people who want an expensive, high caliber shooting range gun or big-game handgun hunters. That said, this has not stopped writers of fiction from giving their heroes and villains from all walks of life this massively overpowered weapon. It may well be on the way to being the next Model 29 or Colt Python, the iconic weapon the hero uses when they really want to kill someone/thing dead.
Colt 1851 Navy Revolver
The Colt 1851 Navy was a percussion cap (also known as cap 'n ball) revolver created by, as the name implies, legendary gunsmith Samuel Colt. The full name is "Colt Belt Pistol of Naval Calibernote ", but of course who has time for that? To that end, the revolver was frequently called the "Navy Revolver" and later by collectors as the "Colt 1851 Navy". The pistol was an evolution of percussion pocket pistols, such as the popular Baby Dragoon and designed to be a lighter alternative to the .44 Walker Colt. The term "belt pistol" is in fact a marketing reference to its smaller size, since it basically means "you can holster this on a belt", since the Walker Colt was so friggin' big it often had to be carried in a saddle holster. The "Navy" part? In addition to the caliber, Samuel Colt was so appreciative of the Texas Navy for purchasing an earlier model of pistol he manufactured that he named it after them and included a scene of a famous Texas Navy battle on the cylinder of every gun. Thanks in large part to an aggressive marketing campaign and the pistol's more manageable size compared to the .44 Walker Colt, the 1851 Navy became one of the most popular handguns of the period, with total production numbers exceeded only by the Colt Pocket pistol, becoming one of Colt's earliest mass-market successes. The design would also be adapted to the U.S. Army standard .44 revolver round as the 1860 Army model, and this was in turn adapted to an improved .36 caliber model, the 1861 Navy. The 1851 Navy saw service on both sides of the American Civil War (despite the name, the US Army and Confederate Army both used Colt Navy revolvers too, and the US Navy also issued Colt Army revolvers) and service across Europe, Asia and Africa. Canada, Britain, Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary all used Navy Revolvers, with several thousand Navy Revolvers produced in London. The pistol also became popular during the early years of The Wild West and the famous users is practically a Who's Who of frontier celebrities. Among the most famous users of Navy Revolvers included Wild Bill Hickok, Robert E. Lee, Ned Kelly, John Henry "Doc" Holliday and Sir Richard Francis Burton. The Navy Revolver was produced from 1851 to 1873, in several versions with production ending in the wake of metallic cartridge pistols such as the above mentioned (and today, more famous) Colt Single Action Army, though later Navy Revolvers were modified to accept metallic cartridges. Modern reproductions are offered by such companies as Uberti for Civil War reenactments, Wild West aficionados and period films, many of which are also modified to accept metallic cartridges. Many of the modern reproductions have brass frames, which had been a cost-saving measure in the Confederate-made copies during the Civil War and is now popular both because it replicates the much rarer Confederate model and also because it looks cool.
