Weapons - What you have (NOT a political discussion)

[AZMike]

Picked up a couple of brothers this week. Two Walther P38's. A real nice AC41 (1941) with matching original issue holster and a AC44 (1944) in rougher shape. The AC was the code letters for made by Walther. The AC 41 has a high gloss black finish. This was discontinued after 1941 as costly and time consuming. It also has a serial number on the magazine. That process was also discontinued in 1942. Both have the military proof marks and eagles

Size matters, just to show you the difference in some of the Colts I own. Bottom to top, Colt Mustang .380, Colt 1908 Hammerless .380, Colt Talo Night defender .45 acp, Colt Series 70 1911 with factory ivory grips. (the 1908 bluing is fine just a weird picture angle)

Now, that's a nice stable of horses.

That is a tiny part of it....

Giddy-up!!

We've been watching the old Hawaii 50 shows and laughing as McGarrett & crew make impossibly long shots with their snub-nose Colt 36s.

And empty cylinders from the look of it. Quite common. Baldwin should have used that technique.

I call those armpit guns... The only way to get a good shot is to stick it in their armpit.

My name for them is "get off me guns". The bad guy has to be on top of you. Same thing.

Colt SAA First Generation .45 5 1/ 2 barrel made in 1907

Deleted the whole line of posts about the accident on a set with Baldwin not because I disagree - I agree with everything you guys wrote. Did it because the posts went astray from the title and first post. Sorry but it is a fast and slippery slope that was already going into the world of right, wrong, training, regulations, and 2A issues.

1918 Colt 1911 "Black Army" .45. Correct matching parts including original barrel and grips. The black army refers to the late war rough finish, nothing nefarious. A wonderful shooter that is one of my favorites. To find one of these unmolested is very difficult. They sold for surplus after the war for $6.99. Many were refurbished and saw service in the second World War as arsenal rebuilds.

And I know, from personal experience, that pistol is going to rattle . . . . a lot. But, it's always going to work.

Wow can't believe this thread is still up. Glock 19 gen 3 or 4 I can't remember, surefire light (TLR-7A), night sights (forgot brand) and safari land level 1 holster with nub mod.

1848 Colt Walker reproduction. In 1976 Colt had these made under their name. .44 Caliber Black Powder. She is literally a handful.

 

[Sierra1]

With the price/scarcity of ammo, black powder may become the "new" thing.

With the price/scarcity of ammo, black powder may become the "new" thing.

it was $53 for a box of 9mm range ammo here in Los Angeles at one point and that's if could find it. It's back down but up from two years ago and I think I paid $26 at big 5 for a box of 50.

 

[Sierra1]

Yeah, like lumber, it'll never return to the old price range.
