I can't but go with this: Model 3, modified in 1943?















The thing is it feels fantastic in the hand. I do need to talk to one of the wood wizards here to see about completing the proper fit of the sandersons on there.

I just love that the gun was cut down, had the sight upgraded, sent back to the factory for a reblue, had some sanderson's adapted to (I would guess later because the trigger guard was also modified after the reblue to be more comfy), and then the big issue with the Model 3 DAs addressed: the hammer.

I especially love the notion that sometime in the 40s someone wanted a really fast reloading man stopper to conceal, and clearly thought that the old model 3 DA needed a few upgrades, and it would fit the bill perfectly. I can't say as they are wrong. Hell, if it weren't so unique I wouldn't have any compunctions about carrying it myself, today.

It's overall one of my favorite guns. I don't have much interest in the other DAs, but this one will be a prized treasure of mine for a long time to come.
