When was it made? Can I shoot +P's in it?

HA! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
Awesome.

Sounds like a pretty rare gun. You'd better get it lettered.

Oh, and where's the pics of your new CTG!?

The batteries in my camera are dead. How do I post pictures anyway?

You just take pictures and then point the CTG at the phone and say "POST THEM!"
Works great.

Ok then, go ahead and post some of those crumby cell phone pictures if you must.

My great grandad had a CTG in 1915. He shot down the Red Baron with it. I have a video of it on Youtube. You should post pictures of yours on ARfcom.

I think this is the part where I roll my eyes at you, , berate you for not providing enough information about your gun, and then ask if you are looking to sell it.

How do you know it was a real CTG? Was it electric penciled under the GRIPS?

I want one just like it. Wow, just think........a CTG!!!!
Peace,
Gordon

No silly! It was in S&W Sharpie®! Are you messing with me? If you are, I think I can report this to the Mods!!!!

We can't date it until you open the wheely thing and give us the numbers, upside down letters, triangles inside circles, etc. stamped on the frame........you know, the cereal number.

Also, I’m guessing the finish is real shiny so it must be chrome.

..... Cereal Number....

Don't forget, we also need all the letters and symbols underneath the grips for proper identification.

Do you have the box? If so you can run an algorithm on the codes from the label and determine the exact time and date the gun was made, as well as what the assembler had for lunch.

I thought they had been recalled? Better call S&W because if the discombobulator wasn't replaced with the proper thingamajig, it could get a little wompyjawed !

Here we go guys. The OP was able to send me a cell phone pic of the gun, and I uploaded it for him.



Now we're cookin' with peanut oil.

Now that looks like a CTG no dash. Otta be worth more than you paid fo it.

Nope, that's a pre-CTG for sure.

Well, ..... after perusin' the photographical evidence, ... it seems to me that it's just your everyday-common-usual CT. Maybe some closer pichurs would confirm.
(I'm purty sur I read on here that all the "G's" were being dropped. Somethin' to do with gimpy keypads, so I think that's just a CT.)

BTW, I've got this pard that does blacksmiffin'. He makes some purty good knifes and I bet he could make you a matchin' knive for yor new CT if yor intrested.
Just Holler.

Really? As if we don't have enough extemporaneous persons '

floating in with their sporadic descriptions and fuzzy pictures
YOU, an experienced shooter/collector/ humanitarian/ and
fellow forum friend feel it necessary to place toungue firmly in cheek and make fun of those that call our old pre models CTG. ??

Um ,,is it a 357? by chance? or just a plain old 38 Special ctg. ??

Good luck with this one.

Hell, I've been up all night at work.

Wow! I can't believe the stupendously awesome excellence of the macro photograph of the CTG in question. Such fine detail and great care in composition and exposure can leave no doubt that the subject is indeed the stunning, rarest of the rare holy grail CTG. Further comment by my most humble self is therefore not only unnecessary, without due merit and indubitably superfluous by its very presence on these hallowed forum boards......

OP...Hate to break it to ya dude, but if it doesn't have the word "specail" before the ctg, it's not worth as much.

peace out.

It's obvious that this is one of the Spanish, most likely Eibar copies. It's easy to tell this is not a real CTG as there are no toes or feet in the picture.

BTW, is Eibar still in business?

Class III

Oooh, that brings up another point. If somebody says my Registered CTG isn't really a true Registered CTG one more time, I'm gonna explode! Who needs some dang certificate? It says it right there on the gun. MARCAS. REGISTRADAS. Don't you know that's latin for Registered CTG!?

Marcus Registradas was an assembler at the Madrid "Conquistadore" "Alternas S&W" factory, it's just like an "inspected by 12" stamp.

Is it really Registered? To which agent? What a find...It does have the original Pachmayer grips on it doesn't it? Those are getting very hard to find in that condition!


This thread is the best laugh I have had in ages !!

Randy

Where is the mod to step in and say no more bigfoot threads???

The sad part is the poor NOOB who looks at the thread title and says to himself "I have one of those too."
I was that guy a long while ago, and I often look back and laugh at me.

I saw a CTG on GB, but it was way too expensive. The owner must have thought it was a C&R made out of chrome.

I think we have too much time on our hands. Ya'll for writing these posts and me for reading them.

Y'all can make fun of that picture all you want, but even I can see that it is a snubby. If it wasn't cut down, that's got to be a pretty rare CTG. I'd wait for one of the real pros to step in and say his piece before I let that thing go for less than it's worth. You might be cheating one of your kids out of a college education.

Just having a little fun. At least everyone seemed to have takin' it in stride. I know for a fact the the big Gorilla has one!!

Your hi point must be one of those engraved ones I keep seeing in the pawn shops....you know...they actually engraved 9mm, .40 S&W & .45 ACP on the barrel. Don't see that anymore either!

Randy

What a riot this thread is becoming!! Sarcasm and tongue in cheek humor abound. All in good fun though.....

OP, Welcome to the forum!

Here's my first attempt at a picture. My cousin's friend's sister posted it for me.



The guy at the flea market that sold it to me said the barrel would straighten out after the first shot. He read that on the Internet, so I know it's true.

A Dremel and some Flitz will fix that up no problem.

My grampa had a CTG but it was a blank CTG. Does that count?

You guys let this thread die!? What happened to helping new forum members? You're all a bunch of noobs and I'm going back to the Glock forum.

Can you still get dies for the CTG?
