My wife bought me a new digital camera a few weeks ago, and it turned out pretty lame, wouldn't take close ups worth a durn and almost every picture you took would be dark and out of focus. So, bless her heart, she returned the camera and replaced it with a Canon Power Shot SX10, now that's a camera! So, I'll be taking some gratuitious gun porn pictures and posting them to test it out.
How about a 1954 vintage K.22 Combat Masterpiece with a period holster:
I got this revolver in 2006, and have put well over 15,000 rounds of ammo through it since buying it. It has really improved my double action and point shooting, since I can practice with it cheaply.
This is where it pays to be friendly with your gun shop owner. I was living near Winchester, Virginia and had been dealing in a small shop. The owner knew I liked Smith and Wessons, so one day I see him at a convenience store he says "Come by the shop, I just traded for a Smith and Wesson .22 and can't identify it, maybe you would like it". I was on his door step when he opened the next morning, the reason he could'nt identify it was because it was not model marked, it was a Pre- Model 18 , a K.22 Combat Masterpiece. He had taken it in trade from a retired Virginia State Trooper. I asked him how much he wanted for it, "$250" I said "Sold!" When we got to the register, for some reason he decided to give me even more of a break, and charged me $245.
The holster is marked on the back "Smith and Wesson Combat", you can see the leather has been formed to accomadate the adjustable sights on the Combat Masterpiece revolvers.
