What is the definition of a true SNS?

[BigBoogie]

are there particular calibers or manufacturers/makes that classically define the saturday nite special?

from what i've understood, it just had to be dirt cheap and good enough to go bang....something along the lines of a rubberband grip.

[cowboywannabe]

this term has evolved from its inception until now....

first it was a name given to cheaply made guns of small caliber....then it added guns meant for illegal use that had thier sn# removed, then it was adopted by the liberals to mean whatever gun they didnt like that was not a police service type sidearm...

but "we" free thinking folks use it as a term of endearment for any small gun regardless of caliber, make, or country of origin.....

the usual suspects back when were there Titans, RGs, Astras, and most of the foriegn made mini autos, then it included the Beretta 950, Baby Brownings, and the Charter Arms guns, later it included Davis, Raven, and Jennings, now it also include Hi-Points.....


"we" use it for our Seecamps, Colt Jr's, NAAs, as well as our "cheap" guns.....

Saturday Night Special is a politically correct contraction of a racist term of the century before last, N*****town Saturday Night Special, with the connotation that the residents of the African American district tended to get drunk on the weekend and fight with cheap revolvers.

When "Bad, bad, Leroy Brown had a .32 gun in his pocket for fun and a razor in his shoe" that .32 was doubtless a Saturday Night Special.

That is correct. Its roots stem from racism. The blacks couldn't afford the military guns that the whites could, so they would buy cheap revolver.

Thank you sir. No I don't teach, I'm just a regular gun enthusiast. :)

Here are a couple of links . . . let's make sure we don't confuse Sat. night specials with mouse guns. They are not the same thing at all.
