True, Ken.

Neat little piece Ken, but I'll concede that, unlike my S&W's, I probably couldn't hit much of anything with it. :o I'm darn sure I couldn't with its hundred year old predecessor...

...a Baby Hammerless Model 1910 in .22 Short. Heck, I'm not even sure I'd trust the cylinder not to split if I tried to shoot it with modern ammo.

It's more accurate than I thought it would be. Though, admittedly it's designed for up close and personal.

It's a shame about yours. That's an awesome looking little gun.

I personally finished the stock on this one. I applied more than 25 coats of lacquer, but probably sanded off 20+. I have an aftermarket receiver, bolt, charging handle, trigger assembly that I need to put into this stock so I can put my Sporter back together. It will shoot 5/8" to 9/16" groups (3 and sometimes 5 shot) at 100yds. very consistently.

I guess real men back in the day didn't need no stinkin' trigger guard, but maybe they never pocketed/holstered their guns. :rolleyes:

FWIW, in case you've never seen a Baby Hammerless with the trigger folded forward for safe carry, here's a shot...

...and, while it's the "mother of all mouse pistols", I'd feel perfectly comfortable carrying mine that way in a bespoke holster.

With your demo, Paul, I need not fret how my grandfathers and great-grandfathers survived as long as they did... Thanks.

My custom 870. It is very much different from when I got it. I replaced the barrel with an 18 inch wearing a plain bead sight. I also replaced the trigger group and duracoated it combat green with black accents. It is wearing a standard LOP Remington stock with an Allen Stock cartridge sleeve, and Allen Comfort sling, a Mesa Tactical 6 round side saddle, Mako rail forend, Streamlight Polytac light with weaver mount, and a Magpul handstop. It has a capacity of 4+1, and a 3 inch chamber. I have probably put somewhere around 3,000-4,000 rounds through it. Its most certainly my favorite long gun.

It was a beautiful weekend to go shooting.

Nice Gunslinger. What 1911 do you got there?

It's a Kimber compact stainless II

Those Raasco grips look great on that Kimber!

Thank you, I went through 4 pairs of grips before I found a pair that I really love.

I've been eyeballing VZ grips for my 1911

VZ makes some nice g10 grips. When it comes to wood grips I go with Raasco, If I want G10 I go with VZ. Also VZ has awesome grip screws.

Been looking at some screws and a pair of their G10 Grenade grips in Tan.

I really like the etc/frag pattern. That in a tan color would look nice.

Bought a new gun today, Sig P229 .40. This is my first Sig Sauer. Can't wait to shoot it.

Fun at the range today. M14. Please note the ejected shell in the bottom right of the frame lol. :)

That's a great piece. I had a two tone model with no rail. Thing shoots like a dream. Ending up selling it, but it was awesome. Sig makes some of the best firearms I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. I have no doubt you'll love it.
