NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New York may be known for its pizza, but it’s a
pie from New Haven, Conn. that takes home the prize as Best Pizza in
America.

The website The Daily Meal compiled a list of the top 101 pizzas in the
nation, drawing on votes from what it describes as 46 American chefs,
restaurant critics, bloggers, writers and “pizza authorities.”

While New York grabbed the most slots, 30 in all, it was Frank Pepe’s in
New Haven that topped the list with its white clam pizza, made with
clams, grated parmesan, olive oil, garlic and oregano.

Frank Pepe’s co-owner Francis Rosselli said it’s not the first time the
restaurant has been recognized for its pies.

“Those accolades are always welcome, we appreciate it them very much,”
he told 1010 WINS. “We certainly feel honored every time that happens.”

Brooklyn’s Di Fara came in second with its classic round pie made with
mozzarella, parmesan, plum tomato sauce, basil, olive oil, sausage,
peppers, mushroom, onion.

Actually, I prefer clams on a red pie pizza.

Did you ever buy your .45 revolver? I'm thinking a .45 ACP revolver might round out the wee
collection nicely.

I got a Smith & Wesson 625 "Mountain Gun," a stainless steel SA/DA in
..45 Long Colt. It's a nice piece, and accurate. I've only shot it once,
about 100 rounds, which was pretty much all the ammo I could find at
that time. No personal vids, but I did find this one on you-tube. Good
luck with it!

Nice looking gun. Comes in a .45 ACP too, the JM version.

You seein' a bunch of rattlers up there? I think you meant the Taurus Judge, or the S&W Governor.
I kinda like that S&W 625 JM, (http://tinyurl.com/88czrkp ) but wish it were more the 'western'
style. Oh well, I can live without a .45 revolver for a while. It'll take a couple years to earn
enough VISA reward points to get it anyway.

Ruger makes some large caliber revolvers that are "western" looking.
Fine firearms.

The ones I've seen in the .45 ACP caliber are single action only, unless I missed something.

"Western" revolvers were single action. That is part of the charm.
Personally I embraced the 20th century, starting around 1911 ;-)

I do have a Colt Frontier Scout .22 that is "western" but I usually
shoot rat shot out of it.


I like single action revolvers except when it comes to dumping out the
casings or inserting fresh rounds. :)

The S&W I have works SA or DA, but loads like other DA revolvers, with a
cylinder that hinges out.

I've downsized a little in terms of numbers of firearms I have. I have
sold the ones that I either didn't particularly like or would rarely
use. Gone is the S&W Bodyguard. Nice carry sized pistol, but the ones
sold here in MA have a 10lb, v-e-r-y long trigger pull. Didn't like it
at all. Even at close range by the time the hammer releases, the barrel
would be pointed at the "bad guy's" feet due to the natural tendency to
pull the barrel down as you pull the l-o-n-g trigger pull.

Also sold the 1922 Pre-Woodsman Colt. Interesting handgun, but I am not
a collector. Got a decent offer for it, so it's gone.

I'll keep my favorite ... the Walther PPK/2. I'll also keep the
Performance Center S&W .357 Magnum, although I don't shoot that one
much. I'll also keep the Ruger SR22 for general plinking, and the S&W
Chief's Special 38 for night time home defense. Also will hold onto
the Ruger rifle.

I'd like to find a small carry size to replace the Bodyguard but the one
I want isn't legal in MA. Then again, I don't carry often anymore
either since I am not at the guitar shop with lots of cash on me.

One problem is the time of year. I don't go to the range much in the
winter because it's just too damn cold. They have an indoor range but
do not allow jacketed ammo. I really don't like the indoor range
anyway. Much rather be outside.
