Last May, I picked up this Smith Model 18-3 in .22 LR in almost new condition. Beautifully accurate, it's really tight, as many Smith .22's are and I have to keep the chambers very clean to make ejection easy. It's fully as accurate from rest as my Smith Model 41 of 1977 vintage and a fine understudy for DA work with my M19's and 66's. Best Regards, Rod

SIG P365
9mm
Walther PPQ SF 9 mm, really feels close to a 1911.
Model 17 no dash.
Just like me, there were 49 stars on the flag when it left the mothership:

It's been a while...maybe a couple years since I bought one...it was a RIA 1911 in 38 super.
and sadly it sat in the gun safe until a month ago, when I finally started to load up some ammo for it.
The NOE 358-128-SWC (it looks more like a TC) pushed with a charge of Win 540.
I had it out to the range a few weeks ago..I fired 50 rds and only had one FTF, I put that same round back in the mag a couple more times and each time it wouldn't fully feed, I could not physically see the problem, so I just chucked that round.
I never liked the factory grips, so I sniped these off fleabay for $12
They didn't fit perfect, I had to get out a couple of hand files and do a little fitt'n to make 'em work.

I took this photo after I got it...those boolits are 135gr Ranch Dog. I haven't loaded any for this and probably won't.

A little over a year ago I acquired a NOS barrel for a K-32. Being impatient, I bought both a Model 14-3 and a 15-? While waiting for it to arrive. Since the profile for the 14 was what I needed, the 15 was sold to a member of this forum and my “newest” revolver is a recreated Model 16-3 built just like the factory sometimes did back then by altering an existing Model 14. I didn’t have the proper SB grips with square edge bottoms, so the grips are Roper style from Altamont. I think it came out pretty nice. BTW, the muzzle isn’t worn shiny, I just couldn’t eliminate the glare from the overhead light. :?

SIG 238 Legion. I am a wheel gun man at heart and had sworn off of semi autos. Time will tell if it gets swapped for a small frame revolver. It sure carries nice though.
Got a Colt Police Positive in 32 Colt new police. Nice old gun ,a shooter not a collector. Got some PPU brass and cast some boolits, great fun to shoot and very economical to shoot. Tim

If I had kept the 6" Model 16-4 I ordered about the day they were announced, I would probably have two fewer custom guns today. Truth to tell though, I'm glad I got the stainless 327 built when I did, and really like the class of my recreated Model 16-3 mentioned above. I can't help but wish I had kept that 16-4, but then again, you can't have them all, can you? :???:

I have so many "last handguns" that my dealer no longer believes me when I say this one is the last one.
Don
EXACT same dialogue 'tween me and my FFL. he just rolls his eyes when he sees i've sent another one headed his way, which i swear to him will be THE LAST ONE EVER. yeah. right. Attachment 255811
S&W 17-2. Left factory in 1966.
I won't have a "last one" until they bury me.
I give up!! No more attempts to edit this post back in order as it will only be worse.
Attachment 255813I bought three French surplus S&W’s from J&G. Kicking myself for only buying one with three inch barrel. Best of all the French S&W’s all appear to have not been shot very much. If you can look past the holster wear and slight rust on the back strap, apparently from being used as a hand rest. I really miss the three incher but couldn’t resist a straight across trade for a Mini-14. Another 4” model from France came with a parkerized finish and rubber grips.Attachment 255815

Contender with 10" 45-70 barrel. I just wanted the frame!
