I have a Mauser HSc in about 98% condition with box and paperwork that I am quite glad I bought.

This was both my first new handgun,,, and,
the gun that got me to take gunsmithing classes,,



At the time, you could buy a titanium nitrided sear,,



That gold sear resulted in a truly perfect trigger pull.
I always wondered why they quit selling that sear??

As much as I like S&Ws I also have a fondness for Colt New Service revolvers. This is a Colt New Service Shooting Master in 357 magnum caliber with King rib and Roper grips.
I have shot it with 38 special wad cutters and due to weight of the gun with the added rib little recoil and easy to keep on target.

Default A Pearl of Great Price ...

Like the Black Pearl the maker didn't want money, he wanted a specific weapon for his next project which I happened to have. After bit of negotiation about accessories the deal was made.

Prior to this trade my carry 45 was a very clean 457 which the Master Chief had bailed me out of a botched sight installation.

He properly put the Tritium Big Dots on it, crowned the muzzle and polished the feed ramp.

The 457 became my large caliber carry gun. Now that I have named the modified 4516 the Black Pearl I think I'll call the 547 the Black Brick.


The Black Bricks I own

Then there is the 547 that was long sought after. Several failed attempts to buy one in good condition at auction finally resulted in success. The auction photos featured lint on the weapon that appeared to be scratches. These "scratches" didn't bother me as I intended it as a carry gun. Once the 547 arrived I was quite pleased and surprised at it's excellent condition.

Here it is with the latest set of grips for it:
