The only birth year firearm I have is a 1951 High-Standard Sport King. I'd love to find 1951 model 36 Chiefs Special, especially one at an affordable price. :)

Try these folks. They have a pretty good selection of vintage holsters and such Vintage Gun Leather Today – vintagegunleather

Thanks. I try to fix things myself and after 50+ working as an industrial and motorcycle tech have the knowledge, skills, and tools to handle a lot of things. Plus the smarts to know when to have someone else take care of a problem. Wood for instance. I can bend nails, make sawdust, chips, and...

I bought a 2016 4" 586-8 .357 magnum revolver last year from a guy in Laramie. It came with the box and all the factory goodies and paperwork. He's more of a collector than a shooter and said that he had two of them and had only put about 50 rounds through this one and was selling it to get a...

The HS 22lr pistols are great. I have two of them. A 1951 (my birth year) Sport King with a 6.5 barrel and a 1956 Duro-Matic with a 4.5 barrel. With their slanted grips shooting them is like pointing your finger. :D

Other than being legal to own firearms there are no requirements to carry concealed or openly in Wyoming but a lot of folks get a CCW permit anyway so that they can carry in states with CCW reciprocity programs.

Much Mahalo. My computer skills are minimal and I'm one of the last people on Earth that doesn't have or even know how to use a cell phone. :)

As luck would have it my brother called me shortly after I logged off the forum so I asked him if the revolver had a screw in the front of the trigger guard. He said that it did and according to S&W's records it is a 3rd model K-22 Masterpiece made in 1956.

I think the screw ups you mentioned are more a result of poor or no training and unsafe handling than having a trigger shoe. That one has been on that revolver for decades and used by multiple generations of my family and none of us have ever had an accidental discharge with it when...

The grips aren't wood but some kind of plastic and I think that it's been quite a while since Pachmayr made them. They've been on the revolver for as long as I can remember my father and grandfather shooting it, almost 70 years, and are still in amazingly good condition. Some wear marks and...

Next time I go over to my brother's place, he's on the Western Slope of Colorado, I'll get the serial number and take some pics of grandpa's lever action too while I'm there. If I remember correctly, don't bet money on that LOL, there is a screw in the front of the trigger guard. The trigger...

My grandfather bought this K22 right after WWII, used it for several decades then passed it on to my father who also used it for several decades before giving it, along my grandfather's 30-30 Winchester lever action, to me. Somewhere in it's long life it acquired the trigger shoe and a set of...

I bought this 6" field model S&W 422 at a gun-shop in Glenwood Springs CO when they first came out in the 80s and have put 10s of 1000s of rounds through it since then. Its' light weight and under slide barrel design make it easy to carry and incredibly accurate so despite some wear marks it...

Situational awareness. Unlike most people that grab their phone as soon as they're parked, and some don't even wait until they're parked, the first thing he did after parking was to check his surroundings and mirrors. He eyeballed the first car that went past and when he saw the second car...

My only Colt, a 1917 service revolver chambered in 45acp and actually made in 1917. I call it Thumper. :)

There's always a bunch of discarded brass at the outdoor range I go to so I pick it all up, except 22lr, bring it home and sort through it. The stuff that I can use goes in coffee cans for each caliber and the stuff I can't use goes in the scrap brass bucket. It's a pain to separate the SP from...

I know that both aren't what would have come with the pistol from the factory but the grips are S&W, fit nicely, and feel comfortable. The mags don't have any markings but I strongly suspect that they're after market and I'm searching for factory mags. Unlike the experiences of couple posters...

It does slightly feel chunkier than my 3rd gen 4006, though way lighter, but not as chunky at the Ruger P89DC I had then passed on to my SIL. Another very underrated pistol IMO.

I also have two 3rd gen pistols, a 4566 and a 4006. Great shooters.

That's as good as my little digital camera can do.
