The 1892 silver half dollar coin was given to me in 1960 by my paternal grandmother. She got it at that year's Columbus Exposition celebrating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America.
My only true, full custom handgun. SS/Cerekoted Fusion 9mm, put together by Bill Laughrige at Cylinder & Slide about 15 years ago, after I asked him to build me a 1911 in that caliber for my new interest in IDPA. I went with his suggestions, including a gold dot front sight. He machined out the innards of the slide to lighten it, so it cycles incredibly fast. It is slick and smooth like a custom 1911 can be when built by a master gunsmith. By the way, about 7 years ago, I bought and rebuilt his 1952 3/4 ton M37 Weapons Carrier. The knife is my only Randall.
