A few S&W 39s. the first is a pre-39, made before the model numbering system was put in place. It's definitely seen better days, but it still shoots OK. The other 4 are Model 39s, no -2s. The one at six o'clock is a steel frame. The holster is a El Paso Saddlery Tom Threepersons plain jane, but very practical.

Here's a few French pistols that aren't often seen. The first is a MAB (Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne) Model R. That model designation covers several different types of pistols, including an experimental one in 7.65mm Long. This one is a commercial 9mm P. It's a delayed blowback, in fact the delay is a spring loaded plunger in the frame bearing on the barrel. I'm not sure how this delays things. I've shot it but don't think it would stand up to a steady diet of factory 9mm ammo; 9mm +P is out of the question. Now I shoot it with very mild cast bullet handloads, not much more than 380 loads, and it works fine.
The next picture shows two Mle 50s, usually called MAC 50 from the manufacture, Châtellerault. This is still the standard French Army pistol. The Gendarmerie (under the Army) and all armed agencies under the Ministry of the Interior use the SIG P2022. Both of these Mle 50s have Trausch aftermarket grips which are now also installed on all rebuilt pistols. The Trausch grip has the pistol riding a little higher in the hand, preventing hammer bite. The pistols are built like a tank to withstand the very hot French 9mm P ammo which was designed for the MAT SMG. The leather holster is the Mle 48, which can contain anything from a Ruby to a Colt 1911. The web gear is that issued to the airborne, the 'Paras" and isn't very often seen.

I have never been a big fan of the caliber but I do have one 9mm, and it's a S&W.

Probably won't impress you guys, but here's my Glock 34.
I don't know who made those rubber backstraps (this is a Gen3), but I believe Robar bought the process and makes it now. Can't be too popular with Gen4s out there.
That and the Trijicons are the only aftermarket parts. This is my "bump in the night" gun. Old school Glock light works great.
Alien Gear holster, got it for Christmas, it is comfy and seems like a great holster for the money.
