I’ve decided to make a Dirty Harry Holster for my CO2 Umarex Smith & Wesson M29.
Living in France I cannot put any things else than this kind of gun in a holster, equally restricted to at home worn, since I don’t want to take the risk to be shot in the street by a policemen equipped with a real...
I share with three other happy retired Grandfathers a passion for black powder shooting.
We are four, and we read the serial French comic strip Lucky Luke, so we baptized ourselves "The Dalton" - see attached picture...
And so I regullarly equip my "brothers" with leather belts and holster...
Born in 1976, Mr. Smith & Wesson model 19-3 has joined his three brothers the grand 45 acp model 22 "of 1917" (but born in 2007), the one that seduced me the first (born in 1987), model 10-8 and the last but not the least in my heart, the the famou 34-1 born in 1971-73.
This is the family...
The objective was to produce this holster as light as possible but nevertheless with a sufficient strength to carry the gun in security whatever could be the circonstances.
I did it in 4 hours.
Leather vegetable tanned is 2.4 mm thick.
Stitching has been made with my Techsew 2750 (sold in...
Can you tell me your opinion about this revolver.
It's hard in France to find 27-2 with 6" barrel that should be my first choice.
I found this revolver at a price of 600 Euros (660 USD).
Is it a bargain or must I pass my way?
I own this revolver dated from 1983 (AL), made in Italia as attested by the Gardone test bench punch.
The riddle is that it has no marking or punch of the maker.
Among you all, is there anybody who could know what italian maker having produced stainless steel (not polished steel) Colt 1860 in...
Yesterday I shoot for the first time with my S&W 34-1.
Year of production accoring S&W: 1971-1973
One hand shoot distance 25m: I'm not ashamed since I'm not fine shooter: 5 over 6 in the target, and very dispersed :D
I asked my friends who were at the range to try.
They usually do better than...
Following the death of its owner (at the shooting range) while testing the weapon, this revolver, in perfect working condition, "almost new," is for sale.
The sale price will be negotiated after "testing."
Here's the "beast."
SInce I'm retired, one other passion occupies a part of my time: leather works.
I don't sell anything, only make my gift to my family members.
Sometimes they must think "it's enough", but they don't tell me. So I go on.
My friends, specialy those who shares my monday morning shooting session...
I live in Nomandy, France.
I am 71 and when I was a young guy, I play cowboys and indians with my neighborhood friends.
In 1984 I created and managed a shipyard where we built more than 300 crewboats for one client who exploited them in West Africa. It was for me the realization of a child's...
This model was born in 2007, but it has 5 screws and a pinned barrel, so where to put it?
Of course I am newbe on the forum and have not explored all the sections, so be indulgent if i made a mistake postin here :D
The fact is that I would like to know the date of production of this gun that...
