Mine is a 3913 Lady Smith.

And I bought it because it looked cool in the LGS consignment display case -- totally on impulse.

After taking it to the range, it shoots so nicely I'm looking for holsters to carry it. :)

I've show this before, but here is a pic of the "Lady"

Try a sticky pocket holster ...

I've been going clipless with sticky pocket holsters of various brands and they all work great for Appendix carry. Not having a clip allows you to adjust the positioning to facilitate concealment or comfort, such as when seated or driving.

The Black Pearl got a Remora and I carried all day today while driving and walking about with prospective customers, sometimes over rough terrain, and it was completely comfortable and undetected. It never slipped from it's Appendix carry position.

Shorty 45 that I have been meaning to share pictures of, but haven't found the time.

Why? It's hard to pass up a local private sale of a Performance Center 3rd gen. No shipping, no tax, and at the gun show only a $10 FFL transfer.
 
A Shield 45 APC. Why? Because it was cheap with the rebate, and also because...45APC. Well, I love the 9mm Shield and I figured it would be the same with the 45. I was right.
 
Model 41 Field Barrel

Not really a firearm, but.....I was at a small town gun show last weekend and came across this Model 41 field barrel. Had to have it.

Last firearm I purchased was a Travis Strahan worked PPC revolver built on a S&W 10-6. I got it from Gunbroker because the price was right and I had a hunch that it would have an exquisite trigger and be a joy to own and as it turns out... I was totally right!

My most recent purchase that fits in to this area of the site was a 1973-made Smith & Wesson Model 59. That was at a gun show and I thought it was a fantastic deal at the price they had and the condition was extremely high. That was a fine buy. I've shot it once, I'll probably get it out again some time soon but I bought it more to have than to run a lot, I've got plenty similar S&W pistols for that.
 
In my ongoing quest to dump cheap plastic and replace them all with all-metal guns, I recently committed to buy a 9mm CZ RAMI, safety/dual mode model. :) I wanted the decocker model with night sights, but they must be between production runs right now and none are available anywhere... plus the street price (if you manage to actually find one) is substantially more that the safety/dual mode version. Price matters a lot to a poor old man like me... :o ... plus the dual mode does offer me options. :cool:

This is my third CZ pistol and probably my last as I'm not getting any younger and I still have other goals to achieve for the collection before my "good years" are up. :)
 
Last new one was a S&W Victory 22LR for plinking. Traded my HK VP9 for a Sig M11-A1.
