Other than the LH-Combat Special, I got the others from men who had "had enough" of them. Cheap.

The one at far left is a Lew Horton 624, one I still have. The one on the far right is Trail Boss with no graphics.:( Second from right was my first. I did NOT want one but was at a gunshow where an older man had one on a table with a box of full-spec ammo. Eleven rounds were missing. He...

cometpx4: " I have spoken to many many handgun enthusiasts, who have never owned or fired one . . ." About 12 years ago I was traveling with a revolver for a competition. The airline required the check-in person to assure it was unloaded and in a proper case. The lady had no idea what to look...

Actually, I plan to be outside with a Celestron telescope and Nikon camera systems. CAN'T WAIT!

.8 Astronomical Units!!!!! Guess I had better start building a bomb shelter.

If you look just a little online you'll likely find whether bank seals have any value. It is likely that having the entire bag would add to the value. I cannot imagine that the bag and seal would come close to the potential value of the coins inside. I suggest slitting the bag at the bottom as...

Gorgeous guns, there, guys! So, here's my ugly ducking, the "Bet Winner". Yes, it's a 686-3. I think it dates to 1989 and therefore post-dates the ones covered by the recall. There is no "M" on it.

I still have a pair of "no-dash" 586's, both 4" barrels. Wonderful revolvers. I'd rather shoot them than my Python. Substantially better triggers. Paid $350 for the first one, $450 for the second. Both have "M" stamped under the serial numbers. Doesn't matter to me. Also have a "Model of...

Thanks, Pizza Bob! I really had no idea.

One of my brothers-in-law died a few years back. Turns out his family had no idea of his past. He was in USAF intelligence, in Libya in the '50s and '60s. He had a Colt DS of the earlier type (no shroud) and I was shocked that no member of his family wanted it. Well I DID! I immediately...

I was teaching people to shoot, using the Ruger Single-Six. VERY popular gun. Students became quite attached to "their" gun and often insisted on buying the one they were shooting. As good as they were, they were still to big for some hands. I got a couple Bearcats and they were instant...

Funny you should ask, just now! Last Wednesday a retired LEO friend brought one to the range. First, it's an attractive gun; has nothing to do with shootability, but, hey, I bought a Beretta Neos for the sole reason that it is a Giugiaro design I can afford! "Better" is in the hand of the...

Gunz iss ment to be shooted! Shootz 'em!

DANG, hkcavalier! That is a beautiful gun! Here is my "Mountain Gun." It seems to fit all the descriptions of a TALO, but I don't remember anything being said about this being one. Mine is 29-8 with "Mountain" grips and Hogue's. Serial number DAW7237, purchased from H&H in Oklahoma City. Can...

LOVE that Colt, Guevera! Howz it shoot?

1. 357 Model of 1950 2. S&W 624 Lew Horton, wood grips 3. 629-6 Trail Boss - unfluted cylinder. 4. 629-4 5. 629-1, wood grips. I never wanted ANY .44 Magnum with a barrel under 4". BUT, I met people who had them but didn't want them either, and were selling them for lunch money. I got the 624...

No argument, Mrnurse. My very early Sig 228 and 229 are as bone stock as they came, and will shoot with the latest from Sig any day. (Well, maybe not the P228. Many thousands of rounds through it and a lot of service overseas. It rattles. But still shoots as well as I ever needed.) But this...

Thanks, everyone. I now have a number of things to look into. Hadn't thought of personalized striker plate and slide. That goes on the list.

"Thumb safety". Told yuzz that I was unknowing of Glocks. I read / heard/ imagined that SOMEbody had said to SOMEbody that there was a thumb safety ala 1911 available. If not, my bad.

"Pre-Zero" = prehistoric. The very first ones imported. Just my weak attempt at humor in describing my iggorunce.
