    My New Freedom Arms .44 Special

    I bought a Number Five in 44 Mag from Elmer Keith back the early 90's. I can attest to the nice design of the grip. Your Freedom Arms grip looks even better because it is longer. The Number Five's grip was a bit short for my taste. I have since sold it.

    Your best gun that was not expensive

    Bought a brand new Model 27-3 for $200 back in 1987. Another was a 696 when they first came out for somewhere around $375 IIRC. Lately I found a pristine 1943 Colt Official Police for $450.

    You asked what a pre-Model 19 was called and I told you the answer.

    Picked up a very nice Model 12 today!!

    My Model 12-3 is thinner across the whole grip frame and regular K-frame grips will not fit. It leaves a gap so I'm stuck with the original grips.

    colt_saa - Did you try to fit the 65's grips on the Airweight? Up until -4 the Model 12's grip frame was thinner across the back than a steel K-frame. This made it so a steel K-frame's stocks would not fit flush on a Model 12. I'm guessing the Airweight M&P is probably the same.

    Finally Added A Victory

    tenntex32 - You can still use that Victory as a hammer. Just make sure it's unloaded. Now you're the proud owner of a hammer with a serial number. Another thing about my Victory is it has the 3 P's. Under the barrel, back of cylinder and in front of the hammer on the left side. Would that give...

    Another Victory to add to the list. Serial#V616551 Flaming Bomb US PROPERTY GHD Serial numbers in all the right places. A few small dings and some finish missing but in very good condition. Can anybody give me a ship date?

    Is less sometimes better?

    When it came time to replace the springs on the 8-round mags that came with my Colt XSE I put 7-round springs and followers in them. It's all about reliability first. Plus I have plenty other carry guns so the Colt is a range gun anyway.

    Packing Smith & Wesson .45ACP revolvers for the Great War

    I never heard that about reservists. My dad was recalled for Korea and stayed in for 24 years. He decided to get out, not the Army. But he was a highly trained and smart Engineer officer so that may have been the reason. Also, was the patch 1st Cav division or regiment (my brothers outfit in...

    Underrated Pistols That You Must Have!!

    I agree on the German SIGs. I own two P220's, a West German and a German. Also a P239 in 357 SIG. Would like to add the P245 that they stopped making 10 years ago. Not much capacity but a great little carry piece.
