Left the house this morning with the intent of picking up *just* the 8 3/8" no dash M586 in the picture below, but ended up bringing home a nice M17-2 as well(also pictured).

The 586 has been shot quite a bit, but was well cared for. It's got a couple of small bare/thin spots in the bluing, but otherwise it's good to go. Seems to be a really good shooter too from the limited shooting I did.

The 17-2 has a lot of holster wear at the muzzle on both sides. Strong case colors on the hammer, but faded on the trigger. Also had a trigger shoe on it. It's in excellent shape, and a really good shooter. It does seem to be a little picky about ammo though. I ran mostly Federal bulk pack through it, which it seems not to like. I guess the variance in rim thickness is too much for the tight tolerances on the gun. I'm going to do my best to wear this one out.

Didn't Make it to the range Today, wanted to..
I fired some German 9mm Training ammo through my Model 547 Revolver, Pretty loud but was even better than fireworks IMO, All safely Into My back Yard.. And FREE Too!! What's Not To Love.
Enjoy!
My Dauchuand/HotDog Mr. Duncan is still barking at all the Wireworks... Roop Roop!!
Also went to see "Weird Al Yankovic" This evening about three block from here..
"Weird Al RULES"

I reloaded 500 rounds of ammo.
Just adding to the pile, getting ready for 2012.

I open carried my M19 in Bisbee AZ all day. Does that count?

machinisttx - my gun fund was empty after an unexpected Pre-30 last week, but it's obvious that you did more than your part. I love both of those. No need to say enjoy, because it's automatic with those two. PEN

I shot at some turtles with my .45 Colt. Didn't hit any.

I have a deep respect for people that can do that job w/o shooting all those stupid people.

"Yes, that's right your Honor, I carried this person to jail b/c they are too stupid to be on the street."

I bought my 2nd gun safe. I could not get the door closed on my first one any more.

I did my part last night, with all the fireworks going off, I take advantage of my private range and shoot with night sights, lasers and weapon lights, sounds just like all the neighbors fireworks.

Me and my two sons who were home for the weekend shot our 629's with 44 spcl loads at a railroad tie plate. It was fun and I got beat again by those younger eyes!!!!!

God Bless America.

I created 500 rounds of .45 ACP to feed the 1911's and 1917's.

I opened carried my 22-4 along with a double moon clip pouch all day yesterday.

No raised eyebrows, no caustic comments. In fact, I was at a cookout at my parents for a full hour before my brother said: "I just noticed that you are wearing a pistol".

Yep, it counts. I used to run a jet ski rental business(I didn't own it, just ran it). Drunks, fools, and plain old morons come out of the woodwork on holidays...

The only thing I miss about that job is all the fine women in bikinis.
