JWR’s Recommendations of the Week:
Here are JWR’s Recommendations of the Week for various media and tools of interest to SurvivalBlog readers. The focus is usually on emergency communications gear, bug out bag gear, books and movies–often with a tie-in to disaster preparedness, and links to “how to” self-sufficiency videos. There are also links to sources for both storage food and storage containers. You will also note an emphasis on history books and historical movies. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. This week, I’m featuring an antique .44 S&W double action revolver at my web store. (See the Tangibles Investing section.)

Featured Antique Gun of the Week
This week’s featured antique gun of the week is a scarce S&W .44 Double Action First Model Revolver with factory letter. It us chambered in the .44 S&W Russian cartridge, which is still factory made. Like most other pre-1899s, it can be mailed or shipped directly to your doorstep without any paperwork or FFL dealer involvement. If you are one of those Californians who is currently waiting 10 days to pick up a modern (post-1898) gun that you purchased from a dealer, be advised that this gun could be in your hands by Friday. (Be sure to check your state and local laws before ordering.)
Take a look at the many recently-added guns at the Elk Creek Company store.
