A bit too much like a glove. Real McCoy Japan in horsehide, bought second hand. The sleeves are a bit long for my taste. I am still "on the fence" about it and considering an Aero or G&B.

Fletch - that ol' mug shot was YOU?

My illustrious ancestor, hauled in in Des Moines once upon a time for selling hooch to the county attorney. Who said it was good stuff, too.

Astonishing resemblance.

If you go over the fence on the "ditch it" side... what size is it?

It is a 42 and slim fit! The armholes high and the sleeves are about 25 1/2 inches from the shoulder. I thought my arms were long but this jacket makes me think twice!

Just a little. Beretta 92 family, if I'm not mistaken. Design's about 1960's IIRC--I'm a little rusty, and for me anything newer than the 1911A1, the 1928AC Thompson or the M1 Carbine is "too new to count" in firearms.

Sorry about the offtopic, I'm a "gunnie" in my other life.

The 92 series, however, didn't come out until 1979.

1976 actually. It was originally the Pietro Beretta. I have one. They are nice enough weapons, but I never would enjoy carrying one. They are quite large and bulky. They are reliable until a couple thousand rounds have gone through them then the slide stop has a tendency to break, not a good thing. That's the newer ones, not the older Italian 92's.

As I said, fun enough to shoot, but I'd much rather carry my Glock 27 or my Sig 228. The 92 was at the time considered a great new design. I think the High Power and CZ 75 are both superior. The 1911, naturally the standard bearer loses points with me for its difficulty of breaking down or field stripping. Yes, I know it becomes easy, but all of the above weapons are easier than the 1911 by nature.

This was a couple of weeks ago at my brother-in-law's wedding. Not quite vintage, but still sharp if I do say so. This is my wife Jennifer, my yet to arrive daughter, Emily, and me.

 

[Diamondback]

Jovan and Warbird, do we need to ask MK to add a board for 'vintage shooters'? Thanks for the backup, guys--I tried out an M9 once, and it just didn't work for me. (Guess I'm gonna have all kinds of fun if I can get commissioned... )

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Did somebody say glamourous?

Me:

 

[Fletch]

...shelve here often?

 

[scotrace]

houndstoothhat, you two are a beautiful couple. Great smiles! Please keep us posted when the little one arrives - we like to hear the new names our members select.

Also, this is fun, if you haven't seen it:

Name Voyager.

Type in a name to see how popular it is/has been.

 

[Medusa]

Well, this is me in my avatar...repleat with hair curlers.

This would be the most current photograph of me, in full-on His Girl Friday mode.

Pontypridd

Wow, I'm not too far from there, sleepy little Pontypridd. I love the scenery around here it can be breathtakingly beautiful, thankyou for the warm welcome

And a damn fine Rugby town to boot plus Tom Jones right...???

 

[Private Eye]

Helluva crew!

I'm new to the board, but eager to play. This one's about a year old. Some great locations in downtown Los Angeles. There are some incredible dives that scream 1940 skid row. I could tell you some stories....
