Oldest gun you carry

[alwslate]

1935 Beretta .32 auto made in 1944

 

[GlenS]

S&W M-60 from around 1977. Carried as a police officer as backup gun.

 

[AlHunt]

A 1985-ish Bodyguard with a Tyler-T.

 

[dirty & hairy]

1975 M-60, the oldest gun I own. It gets carried occasionally.

 

[gerhard1]

I sometimes carry this: a 32 caliber Colt Police Positive Special made in 1958.

I have carried this before several times in my pocket. Also have carried it in a leather case. It is a Colt 1903 Hammer in .38 ACP. The .38 ACP is the forerunner of .38 Super. This is 1914 manufacture.

This is how I carry the M1903 Hammer from Post#12 The leather case looks like a bible case that my Grandmother use to carry. Nobody ever looks twice at it. Could even take it to church on Sunday and not get a second look. I have three magazines at my disposal (one in the pistol and two in the case). Works for me.

I pocket carry my cz45 occasionally. Very comfortable to carry and shoot.

My most common EDC for the last 25 years or so is a 1959 Colt Commander in .45acp. Its been lightly modified to suit my needs and tastes.

I'm packing a 1956 Chiefs Special right now.

Offhand, I actually do not know if this is the oldest gun I have carried or not. It was given to me by a friend more than 20 years ago and he had inherited it from an old uncle so it is possible that it goes way back into the 1950s. But maybe not; I have no real clue about its history. I have older guns but I've never carried them - I used to carry this lightweight Cobra in a fanny pack when I jogged or rode my bicycle:

I'm not a lightweight revolver fan but on a bicycle this gun had a certain appeal, especially after I added the Hogue grips.

HA!

I take that all back - I used to carry this CZ Duo when I visited my mother in Florida - I left it in her home for that purpose. Made in German occupied Czechoslovakia in 1944.

 

[Messer]

It looks like we have a few fans of the Colt Hammerless around here.

I carry this one occasion... US Property with Ivory grips.

But I think the oldest one I've carried in the last few years is my S&W Triple Lock shipped from S&W in 1917, and that someone long before me modified to be a serious carry gun...

 

[heeter3]

1972 blue colt cobra and 1972 parkerized colt detective special.

 

[tops]

A shotgun is the oldest I have owned and carried. I carried it to the skeet field and sporting clays course. It was a 1873 Remington Whitmore. The breech lever pushed up instead of to the side. The hammers didn't rebound but when the breech lever was pushed up it set the hammers back so the firing pins didn't drag. Larry

I carry this beater M&P from time to time. Dates from the 'teens.

I like "beaters". If you ever decide to clear your desk top and get rid of that "beater", I'd buy it from you for the going scrap metal rate. That's just me; always here to lend a hand.

 

[OLDSTER]

I pocket carry small ( tiny) pistols. Once in a while, I carry this ca. 1922 German Ortgies .25 acp.

 

[Breakaway500]

I carry this while walking the dogs on occasion, just for fun. It could still get the job done I am sure. It's an 1890 Remington in 44-40.

A friend of mine carried one of the Ortgies in .32 ACP. He liked his a lot.

 

[SAFireman]

I have carried just about every gun that I own (at least once or twice). This Chief's Special has been carried a lot, and probably my most carried J frame over time.

Oldest revolver that I have carried is a Triple Lock from 1911.
Oldest semi-auto that I have carried is 1908 Colt Hammerless.

That 1957 Chief's special has ridden more miles with me than any other 'old' gun.

 

[petepeterson]

I have a '58 Cobra that I rarely carry. It looks every bit of 63 yrs old.

 

[Ogandydancer]

My 1982 vintage P6

 

[Hair Trigger]

Only if I'm back country hiking in the nearby Appalachians, too dang big for EDC, but I hang my M57 from 1968 around my neck in a front carry.

 

[SMSgt]

I don't know the year it was made, but it would be my 6906.

 

[samnev]

Mauser 1910 6.35mm semi auto.

I hear you. You might note that my Police Positive Special was made in 1958 as well.

 

[Just another 22 shooter]

On occasion I've carried my 29-2, vintage 1972

 

[petemacmahon]

Model 10-6 4 inch heavy barrel that I had changed to a 2 inch and converted to a bobbed DAO in a Garret IWB. Serial# is 1974-75.

 

[Robspeire]

Model 36 no dash when I need to carry something for protection but it wont bother me if something happens to it.
It's been around the block a few times.

 

[Auburn4]
