Mike,
I was fortunate enough t speak with Col Applegate many years ago.
He was one of the few legends that led a storied career.

As you know,he was an OSS officer and years later helped develop the S&W Hammerless into 38 spl.

Speaaking of OSS,did you know that Alexander Sturm (Sturm/Ruger Co) had also been in the OSS????
