First impression was it is too short, but that just takes some getting used to.
Then ,it didn't like the Blazer 357 158gr. j.h.p.s I started shooting through it.



'Home' on the range ,,,







But when I fed it my homebrewed 148gr. d.e.w.c.s we both settled down and had some fun .







Then a friend I shoot with and eat lunch with brought a backpack with guns wrapped in shopping bags inside.
We've been working on a tade for the past couple weeks and these were the end result of his part.



First and best ,,a K-22 ,K23xxx ,from 1949 , with a broken firing pin.











next ,a finish challenged mod. 10-5 ,D670xxx from about 1975, mechanically excellent, just frosting and freckling in the nickel.







Last and least ,a beat up little old 36 ,rusty and out of time, I'm thinking a good candidate to be hard chromed for a carry gun.







Best regards ,,and good shooting , AL
