TPD, that holster that the Army Special is in is an El Paso. It's for a 4 3/4" SAA! Fits like a glove! One of my old compadre's gifted it to me.

It's a good looking holster - hope my comes out that nice. I've found some holsters for S&W K frames will often take a SAA (usually it has to be an open bottom), but the New Service needs something bigger and will work in S&W N frame holsters. Now if I could just find some friends who would give me El Paso Saddlery holsters . . .

Ruger New Vaquero Birdheads with Montado hammer and 3-3/4" barrel in a new D.M. Bullard holster. Holster is actually made for the Blackhawk, but works fine with the smaller New Vaquero.

Anybody have one of these? DSM 34, 22 LR.
(Deutsche Sport Modell 1934). I grew up shoot one that belonged to my old Compadre. His uncle managed to get 3 of them home after the war. This one walked in the shop one day several years ago. So I snatched it up!!

Ooo, Hitlerjugend training rifle? I'll bet there aren't a lot of them floating around.

 

[WH1]

Don't know about that, I have had 2 over the years. They were neat rifles. I wonder how many came home after World War II. Great score Renault!

Got a box of 1940 dated ctgs too!

Here's a new- to- me S&W 640-1 with "barrel slots" !

 

[Oldsarge]

If your concealed carry gun had to be a revolver (and I am inclined that way) you'd be hard pressed to find a better one than that!

 

[kaiser]

I am with you on that one. The S&W, is small, easy to handle, and reliable. Nice grips there too.

 

[TPD166]

Very nice! The Centennials are the classiest revolvers S&W ever made. I have one of the early 640s from when they were reintroduced around 1990 & a recent 642 - both are great guns, but one day I hope have an original Model 40 or 42.

Hard to beat, Mike! Good little piece!!! Just gotta love them "J" frames!!

New "Paladin" grips on Kimber Ultra Carry - custom made by local grip maker in San Antonio - smooth ebony wood with the bone knight inset into both wood panels.

 

[MikePotts]

Thanks all, looks like it'll be my summer carry gun when I find a Milt Sparks IWB for it!. Nice grips Robert!

the new vs. the old in model 19's... both 3's... I wonder what the glock will be worth in 45 years?

Very nice!!! Well I have heard of the Glock being referred to as the "Model 10 of the 21st Century" just like the k frame being referred to as the "Peacemaker of the 20th Century". I don't know what they will be worth in 45 years, but right now, at least in this area there is a demand from people for the Gen 1 and 2 models. They don't want the finger groves and they are offering and paying a lot for them.

Previous post, but with speed loader. C. 1926 Smith and Wesson .32-20... .32-20s fit the 38/357 zip strip like they were made for it.

Interesting discovery. I'll keep that in mind.

 

[plain old dave]

Those are some fairly chesty handloads I am not sure I would shoot through a 73 Winchester or Police Positive Special in that strip, too. "Yuuuuuuuge" flat point on the bullet; while they aren't quite what people wrote about from shooting the old HV .32-20 through a pistol, just going by recoil and the tink when the bullet hits steel, they are definitely warmer than any factory "for all guns" ammo....
