My accumulation is like Golden Corral. A mix of different types and styles.
Majority of handguns are auto loaders, probably 60%.

Thinking about going all revolver

I'm a DA revolver guy. I like the simplicity and reliability.
I had a coupla 1911s for a while, but did not shoot them enough to get comfortable with them. Due to lack of training/practice, I'm sure, they felt awkward to me.
I recently bought a coupla Colt Woodsman, as I like their aesthetics, but haven't shot them yet. We'll see.

I began a love affair for the 1911 as a young recruit at Parris Island SC in early 1961.I used them in 2700 matches both for center fire and the 45 events.I had the property of US government MTU 1911s and some Colt government models accurized by Al Dinan.Al Dinan also did an S&W M41 for me.A nicer human being would be hard to find.Al passed in 1977.
I got my first intro to revolvers in early 1966 when I was issued a heavy barrel Model 10.Once out of the Police Academy I started to shoot it often.I replaced the stock grips with wood combats and replaced the issued lead round nose 158gr ammo with hand loads or Super Vels.
While a member of various NYPD shooting teams I had Model 52s and K38s worked on and hand delivered by S&W gunsmith Archie Dubea
I had 3 Star Machines in my loading room.
I'm nearly 79 now and easing out of what I loved to do for so many many years.
Revolvers are a joy to shoot with the right grips and ammo.I have and had many but never fell in love with any particular one.
Saying goodbye now to most of whats in the safe is harder than I thought it would be.
If you're in the Austin TX area shoot me a PM for items available.
