Do they still sell those all plastic trap type shells? I remember they were light blue I think. I think they were peters but can't recall. Seems like they came out in late 1980s.

The Peters "Blue Magic" target hulls came out in the 70's. They were a new style tapered case inside to match the Winchester AA's. Peters was part of Remington and they were fazing out their straight walled RXP cases. When the Peters blues ended they weren't called Blue Magic any more. Remington target hulls were switched over to green STS's and Nitro Golds. As they are today.

Always liked those HK SL Carbines...would have loved to have been able to get one.

Agreed @Andy54Hawken; I've always found that family of HK sporters neato. Alas, they go for a pretty penny now.

Fun factoid, they made a version of the SL6 with a two-round burst capability.

Colt. Easy for a Gal to Carry. Ladies Life & Household.

SNOPES - this is an artwork, not a real ad.

Is This a 1950s Women's Magazine Ad for a Handgun to Shoot 'Depraved Creeps'?

A vintage women's magazine advertisement for a Colt Cobra revolver for use against 'that strange, depraved creep who won't leave you alone' is a recent fabrication.

Wow that is an excellent find. Good detective work!

Seems like modern day internet ads kind of do the same thing but they use "stock" photos showing someone with a surprised expression or whatever. I know some photographers make a big catalog of such photos to upload to selling sites in the hope that they will sell them someday. I think the photos only bring in a tiny bit of $ but don't know really.

(I had a brief and somewhat strange fascination with Lugers earlier in the year, then it passed completely. Still, historically neato guns.)

@bcp great stuff. I now recall those from years back.
