Love it! Out of fashion? Maybe, but not out of style. And it'll still take care of the nasties just as well as it did 50 years ago.

I just love old DA wheelguns.

I just love old DA wheelguns.

Me too.

On the subject of Kel-Tecs. Though I often carry my S&W 442, my "always gun" is my KT P32, yes I know it is a mousegun and many people look askance at the caliber. But it is so easy to carry that it goes everywhere with me but the shower or to bed. I have over 500 rounds through it and it has been flawless. My friend has the PF9 and it is just as dependable. The 9mm is a bit rowdy is such a small, light pistol but completely managable with practice.

"rowdy" I think that is the perfect description of the PF9. And as far as a .32, if it is with you, it is far superior to the .45 at home in the dresser.

I posted a photo of this 1947 M&P a while back. Here is the holster I got for it today from MTR Custom Leather. I was looking for the type of holster that would have been worn at that time and I think Matt nailed it.

New Engraved Single Action Army

I just got my newest Single Action Army from U.S. Fire Arms (USFA), and done by Doug Turnbull. My first engraved Single Action:

Hi

Is this new US Fire Arms Single Action Army a shooter or a collector? If it's a shooter, how do you like it?

Thanks

 

[DeaconKC]

That is a beautiful sidearm!

 

[Highlander]

Well, I haven't shot it yet, BUT, I certainly plan to. I'll report back. The action is CRISP though, and I can imagine it should shoot very well.

 

[DeaconKC]

Highlander, what is it chambered for?

That sir is a work of art. Let us know how she shoots.

That is one nice Peacemaker. The engraving is just right, very tasteful.

Deacon, it looks to be .45 Colt.

I should be picking up my Thompson tomorrow and I'll post a few photos as soon as I get a chance.

Hi Deacon, its a .45 Colt(Long Colt). All of my single actions are .45s. (well my Richards Conversions and 1872 Open Top are .44 Colt). But I love .45 LC and .45 ACP. When it gets nice out, I'll go shoot it and report back.

 

[Highlander]

Vedearduff, you are getting a Thompson? Which model? the 1921? I really want one of those.

Highlander,

Unfortunately, not a '21. I'm getting a simiauto 1927a1 with the detachable stock and an L drum. I plan to submit the paperwork for the SBR conversion as soon as I'm satisfied with the functioning. I am considering making it look as much like a '21 as I can. To do this, I'll order the barrel and ring sight from the 1927a1 pistol. From what I understand, the ring sight will not fit a barrel intended for use with the Cutts compensator.

I plan to use my Thompson in Zoot Shoot events. I'm working on getting a group started in the central Indiana area.

It sounds like we will all have to hook up for a Zoot Shoot!

Sounds good to me.

I picked up my Thompson today, haven't had a chance to get to the range. I must say that I very pleased so far. I'm glad that I paid the extra and went with the detachable stock version. I'll be ordering 5 (or more) 20 round mags and modifying the catch to work with the issue mags. Once I have the 20 rounders and have modified the catch, the 30 round mag that came with the Thompson will be available for sale or trade for an unmodified 20 round mag.

I'll post photos once I have a chance to shoot a few.

How Cool. I love Thompsons. Great looking guns. I have shot one that had a selector and was "full auto" Quite fun to shoot, but I had oil all over me when I got done Good luck and keep us posted with photos etc.

 

[vedearduff]

My Thompson

Here are a couple of quick shots of my 1927a1, I'll post some better photos when I get a chance to set up for the photo shoot.

I'll post a full range report when I get a chance to get to the range.
