Not the best gun photo in my portfolio, however it is the gun my wife bought for me on our sixth anniversary after I took her jewelry shopping. Model 28-2 with some honest character and a set of unmarked, but comfortable non S&W grips.
This is "Gloria". My daughter named her after the Gena Rowlands character in the 1980 movie of the same name.
She left the factory Thursday, January 16, 1964
She shoots better than anything I have ever shot. She's special to me because ever since I saw a Model 27 when I was 12 years old, I wanted one. At 42, I got one.
I like this one because I was so lucky. There's a little delay in shooting a digital camera; I think I pressed the release just before the first shot and got the third going off. We loaded the Schnellfeuer with only three rounds as we didn't want to shoot out the range lights. You can see the three cases in the air. The Schnellfeuer is quite legal, incidentaly.
Here is my son shooting the K-32 that my wife bought me two years ago. We had a great time, you could never tell that he is legally blind. He can see OK out to 10 yards, beyond that is a guess.
Here is another picture with a comparsion of 32 S&W long next to a 327 federal. The K-32 is in the back.
I think Alpo is the winner! How can you top a smile like that? I just hope mine is that happy when she gets hers in a few years.
This first one is of a gun I wanted for a lot of years and kept asking for it for X-mas. That never happen so when I quit smoking 23 years after I started I said, I'm going to take the money I was saving and just buy it myself. It my first "new" gun purchase and while the picture is simple I think it shows everything it needs to.
The next one isn't a perfect picture but it does have my best 1911 in my fanciest leather rig. Plus the holster maker has been using the image on his home page for the last few years.
