Garage Scare

[CelticSire]

Got home tonight and as I was walking into my garage thought to myself, "Self, you've got an early morning departure on Saturday for your ride, better plug the bike into the Battery Tender, just in case." Took my Colt Commander (with the really pretty stag grips) off (no scratches on gun or paint that way), laid it down on the work bench in it's holster and turned to walk over to the bike. As I turn I hear a loud metallic THUNK on the concrete floor. Aw, @*&$!%#! I turn back and see that I had knocked one of my hammers off the bench as I turned. My Colt was still serenely sitting on the bench where I had placed it.

Whew, maybe you should send that gun to me for safe keeping. Glad you didn't drop it. I've dropped a couple of guns, but none that were of any real value or in great shape.

Good thing you bought a "drop safe" hammer!

I was going to say
Glad you didn't follow Iver Johnson's advice and "hammer the hammer".

I have decided not to carry anything that is too beautiful to scratch/drop/bang up/etc.

All of my hammers are Series 80's for that very reason.

Did the hammer pass the California test?

Yeah that would get your attention! Had a absolutly minty M-29-3 four inch surf out of my gun safe shelf and land on the front sight on the lip of the safe door. It just trashed the plastic insert and I got lucky that way but boy does that make you feel sick.
