I found them buried in my gun safe. Easiest buy yet.

I honestly don't remember buying them. Both were very nice 5" a pre and a post wars but for the life of me I can't remember picking them up. I checked my logs and yes I did a few years back but when I opened the cases today, I was shocked at them. I had put them down with the other 1911's and they had just been shoved to the back.

I have shot new pictures with them all but I have to dump the camera to post them.

Any of you all just lost some guns in the safes?

I haven't found any in the safe, but I swear there are several guns I used to own that I can't remember where the heck they went!

Ok, I'm over my sulk.. Looking forward to the pictures.

Checked my vaults, just old ones.

I know exactly where my 38-44s are at all times.

About 30 years ago I ran into a guy selling a Ruger semi auto 22, and I had always wanted one so I bought it. When I got it home I got into my safe and began pawing through guns trying to find a space for the new pistol, and found two, not one but two, other Ruger .22 semi autos that I already owned. I had no recollection of when or where I had bought them, and to this day I don't. Sometimes opening the safe is better than Christmas morning!

A problem I wish I had.

We just recently moved to a new house and during the "cleaning" out the safe project in preparation for the move i "found" a few guns i'd completely forgot about. But nothing as nice as a couple of HD's.
You are a lucky dog.

Recently I decided to check on the stockpile of magazines (M16, etc.) and opened a box full of magazines and found an almost-mint Model 28 6 inch lying on top. I do not remember buying it but I am glad I did.

I found an old bag of cheetos once.

Here are the HD's as of yesterday. It is hard to see them broken out since I could not get a good angle on them.

Nice collection.

Remind me of the story with that adjustable sighted pre-war HD in the middle of the guns on the right of the photo.


Thanks,

Before I finally wised up and bought a safe, I used to stash my handguns in the rafters in the basement. I was constantly losing track of which one was where. Now that I have the safe, I know not to worry, but I still panic when I can't find the gun I'm looking for, and I don't rest until I have it in my hands.

I lost a 57-1 for about 4 years once. As it turns out, I was reaching for my Model 53-0 in its presentation case; and there were two presentation cases. One had the 57-1. A buddy picked it up and gave it to me, then I forgot I put the .41 into it.

The adjustable sight one is an HD that someone converted over to adjustable sights.









I bought the gun off this site a few years ago. Very nice gun and lots of fun to shoot. The trigger has been polished clean so no serrations on it. It is my "mcgivern clone".

Thanks - the sight addition looks to be very well done.
