I recall reading years ago-may have been in a Guns and Ammo article printed
in 1971 about Patton and his guns-that he considered the automatic a gun
of two parts, meaning you need the gun and the magazine, while with a revolver all you needed was loose ammunition. Also recall reading that he
called his S&W .357 his "killing gun" although there is no evidence he ever fired it in anger.
