Charter Arms announces an affordable revolver that chambers rimless semi-automtic rounds the same way as a standard rimmed-cartridge revolver.
Now the average gun owner can own an affordable, recipe trouble-free revolver chambered in these popular semi-auto rounds without the need for specialized ammunition clips and a specialized gun.
With the patent-pending Charter Arms Rimless Revolver Round System a round is loaded into the chamber and a specialized spring engages the cartridge’s ejector groove. When the cylinder is opened and the ejector rod operated, it extracts and ejects the fired cases.
Charter Arms will first offer the .40 S&W followed by the .45ACP and 9×19 mm Parabellum (the 9mm Parabellum revolver will also chamber factory .380ACP). All three Rimless Revolvers (9mm, .40 and .45) will be rated for higher velocity +P loadings.
As with the other Charter Arms revolvers, the CARR has an industry exclusive lifetime warranty.

BOULDER, Colo. — It took three rounds from a shotgun, five bullets from a handgun and two shots from a rifle to kill the 120-pound black bear that broke into a Boulder County home early Monday morning.
The bear break-in was the fifth time in a week hungry bears have gotten into Boulder County residences, all while the residents were home. That has wildlife officials urging area residents to take precautions and bear proof their homes.
Brenda Fischer’s barking dog woke her at about 2 a.m. Monday morning. When she went upstairs to investigate, she found a bear in the kitchen of her home on Poorman Road, between Sunshine and Fourmile canyons.
Fischer quickly returned downstairs to wake her two children and her husband.
"As soon as I knew there was a bear inside the house, I went to gather up both our weapon and our ammunition, because they are in two different places, and went to place myself with the weapon between the family and the bear," said Paul Fischer, Brenda’s husband.

Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium
by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray
laser. ‘Transparent aluminium’ previously only existed in science
fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is
an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science
and nuclear fusion.
The Oxford team, along with their international colleagues, focused
all this power down into a spot with a diameter less than a twentieth
of the width of a human hair. At such high intensities the aluminium
turned transparent.
Whilst the invisible effect lasted for only an extremely brief
period – an estimated 40 femtoseconds – it demonstrates that such an
exotic state of matter can be created using very high power X-ray
sources.
Professor Wark added: ‘What is particularly remarkable about our
experiment is that we have turned ordinary aluminium into this exotic
new material in a single step by using this very powerful laser. For a
brief period the sample looks and behaves in every way like a new form
of matter. In certain respects, the way it reacts is as though we had
changed every aluminium atom into silicon: it’s almost as surprising as
finding that you can turn lead into gold with light!’ – [source]"But can they turn Gold into Lead Bullets? Not in the Obama anti-gun environment." ~ HGIC

John Dillinger’s big-screen reincarnation is bringing heightened interest in the gangster, and a Tucsonan got a hefty sum for one of Dillinger’s guns sold at auction this weekend.
As the Dillinger movie "Public Enemies" plays at eight metro-area theaters, the small pistol Dillinger carried in his sock when he was arrested here in 1934 was sold at auction Saturday for $95,600. That’s more than twice what the Heritage Auction Galleries auction house predicted it would garner.
The seller, "a member of a prominent Tucson family," owned the gun for more than 50 years. It went to a "Los Angeles area collector," according to a news release from the auction house. "It’s never left Tucson since 1934," said Dennis Lowe, arms and militaria director for Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas. -[ source] Continue Reading ‘Dillinger's gun goes for $95K at auction’
U.S. military authorities in Afghanistan may hire a private contractor to provide around-the-clock security at dozens of bases and protect vehicle convoys moving throughout the country.
The possibility of awarding a security contract comes as the Obama administration is sending thousands of more troops into Afghanistan to quell rising violence fueled by a resurgent Taliban. As the number of American forces grow over the next several months, information pills so too does the demand to guard their outposts. – [ source] Continue Reading ‘What, Like Blackwater?’
In Maine, ask Uncle Henry’s Swap or Sell it Guide is best known as a folksy compendium of thrift: a cheap way to buy puppies and snowmobiles directly from their owners. But in Boston’s inner-city neighborhoods, drugs the classified ad catalog’s firearm section – a black-and-white list of AK-47s, more about Rugers, and Glocks – serves as another link in the illegal gun trafficking chain, according to community activists.
Next week, the pastel-colored booklets will begin to disappear from shelves in liquor stores and Stop & Shops in Roxbury and Dorchester.
Under pressure from Citizens for Safety and other organizations, the Boston Herald decided yesterday to stop distributing the publication in the Boston area. – [source]

The spacesuits worn by the Apollo astronauts could withstand the rigors of a lunar mission such as 270-degree temperature swings, but are gradually disintegrating on planet Earth — and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.
They were built to protect the fragile bodies of humans in outer space. Temperatures on the moon swing from 120 degrees Celsius (248 degrees Fahrenheit) by day to minus 150 degrees Celsius (minus 238 degrees Fahrenheit) by night. The spacesuits were even intended to withstand strikes by minuscule meteorites. But time is taking its toll on the suits the Apollo 11 astronauts wore when they set foot on the moon for the first time on July 20, 1969. – [ source]
