Simply Stunning

That sure is a pretty gun....but I'll be willing to bet that there will be some folks who think their gun is prettier!!

Just for example...I'm rather partial to this old Colt Army Special, the predecessor of the Colt Official Police. Dates back to 1925. Not a period holster, but I had it, and it is a perfect fit, so I use it. It has some modifications, like the hammer and the checkered front and back straps, and the ivory grips:



Best Regards, Les

Only a gun guy knows the feeling. I've got some beauties too. If I ever figure out how to post a photo, I will.

Save your photo to your desktop (or pictures file), click on the drop down box with the paper clip in the advanced setting (this is where you post your replies). When that box opens, select browse and desktop when your browser window opens, right click the photo that you saved to your desktop that you want to post and choose select. The dialog message will say photo uploading once that's done, you can choose a few more or just post your picture.

Hope this helps.

This method of posting photos works great, but be aware there is a size limit to the file. You will get a dialogue box that tells you the maximum dimensions. This will attach a postage stamp image that the reader can click to enlarge. If you want to insert full sized images inline within the text of the post, you will have to first place your picture on another "hosting" site such as photobucket, then link to the forum post. A bit more involved, but this is the only way to get a very high resolution photo on the forum. I believe the limits save bandwidth on this site. Otherwise, us photo crazy picture lovers would overload the site. You can see examples of both methods in the posts above.

Good feedback. I personally don't use hosting sites, but I guess I could give it a try.

I should have mentioned when I posted that nickel 19-5, my wife says they all look the same to her. The only Smith I've ever bought that my wife said looked different and stunning is this one. First time she has ever said, "That's a pretty gun." So, according to my wife, this is my most stunning gun. . .99% 32 caliber circa 1929 with factory MOP grips.

Wow!...I guess I'm old because the instructions on how to put pictures on here left me mystified in the first sentence.
I have a few S&W revolvers and other revolvers and pistols. I recently got a very clean M65-2 three inch that I like quite a bit. I will hopefully learn how to put some pictures of my nicer shooters up someday...I see some handsome example on here today!
