I'm a new member here, but hardly new to guns, or to forums. I've made many visits to the web site to research movies, and finally decided to join.

I'm presently reading the Stephen King novel "Under the Dome." I know that King is ignorant of most everything gun related, having once written about a character who "clicked off the safety" of his Glock "revolver."

In the present book, he makes several references to the local police in a small fictional town in Maine, carrying "Beretta Taurus" pistols. In another part he tries to impress us with his gun knowledge by matter-of-factly telling the reader that even modern revolvers need to have an empty chamber under the hammer.

I've made several attempts to find contact information for him, but alas can find none. I sent an email to the publisher in hopes they would forward the information to him, but I shall not hold my breath. Maybe I should start a gun consulting service for writers.
