Jeff Cooper, Eldon Carl, Jack Weaver, Ray Chapman, and Thell Reed, among others, started the Southwest Combat League in the late 1950s in Big Bear, CA., with the “Leather Slap” competitions. Here is a typical rig used in those competitions, made by Alfonsos Leather shop in Hollywood, CA., for...

When my dad retired in 1975 as a local police officer he was allowed to keep his issued Model 66 (gun only, no box; issued circa 1972.) It was an early gun, serial number 2K55868. Dad passed away in 2002; I have the gun now. While cruising eBay the other night I spied a pristine Model 66 box...

Charles “Chic” Gaylord and Paris Theodore (Seventrees Holsters) were both holster makers in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. Gaylord’s designs were taken over by “Lefty” Lewis of Bell Charter Oak holsters; Seventrees design rigs are now made by Ken L. Null. Some of these holsters...

Researching this for a friend who got it from his elderly in-laws. .38 S&W Safety Hammerless, serial# 253361. Looks to be a 4 or 5-inch barrel. Possibly a 5th Model? SCSW 3d. Ed. puts that serial number range from 1907-1940; anybody got a closer date?

This is The High Ride holster (THR) for a standard Glock Model 36. Made by Josh Bulman of Bulman Gunleather, a very fine leather craftsman who is no longer in the business. This is a used holster, but shows little wear and is still tight and functional. Straight-drop configuration with no...

He's a new guy, and offered several sets of grips. I selected a pair, sent him payment via PayPal, and within 15 minutes of me saying "I'll take them" they were paid for and boxed up! Arrived quickly and securely packaged. I'd do business with him again.

I bought a fairly scarce set of grips from him. They shipped quickly, and were securely package. Good to go.

I don’t usually buy modern guns; I stick to the pre-model number and pre-war revolvers. But when I saw this pristine Model 27-4 in a gun shop at a shade less than $700 I had to pick it up. Any idea what made me reach for my wallet? Hint: It's the part made of wood...

Which style target grips were standard on the Model 27-4? I picked up a Model 27-4 today with some old Coke bottle grips and want to replace them with the correct style.

Today is Flag Day in the U. S. Here's a speech from Capt. Collins (Richard Crenna) in the 1966 movie The Sand Pebbles, starring Steve McQueen: "Today we begin cruising to show the flag on Tungting Lake and the Hunan Rivers. I want all honors rendered smartly. At home in...

Bought a holster from him in the Classifieds. Though he didn't have pictures, we communicated through Private Message and he accurately described the holster. It was shipped promptly and packed very securely. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

I ran across this today; if it ain't on here, it probably wasn't produced! Cartridges

Recently purchased a holster Bruce listed in the Classifieds. Great item, the pics showed it perfectly, and he shipped it quickly. Can't get much better than that!

Picked this one up recently, a .357 Combat Magnum (pre-Model 19) shipped in June, 1958. With serial# K 381289 it's one of the highest serial numbers for non-model marked Combat Magnums I've seen.

Let me say it again--Oh, my goodness! I butterflied a whole chicken, used Italian dressing and a healthy amount of Old Bay Seasoning, and grilled this sucker for about 2 hrs. at 400degrees. Basted it a couple times with more Italian/Old Bay. Lip-smacking good! I just got my Weber 18.5" and have...

Got this one in today, my first pre-Model 29. Serial# S169XXX, shipped February, 1957. Not much wear except a turn line. It came with a nice set of Cokes but thought I'd see how it looked with these Keith Brown Roper stocks. For 1Aspenhill, here's a pic with the Cokes:
