Hi everyone. I know we all like pictures, and they help keep my momentum, so here’s a new post. I’ve been slacking w/reloading/casting since buying my new house 3.5 years ago and moving further from the range I enjoy... well this past weekend I decided I need a push to get back into it. A friend mentioned an auction he was going to, so I tagged along and came home with these 2 beauties (IMO).
It was my first-ever auction (for anything, not just guns) and I do have some social anxiety... so bidding at an auction took some self-convincing! But, by gun #152 I was ready... and then again at #175!!! Haha. Then i realized I best give my wallet a break, and stopped.
These are my first-ever revolvers! The bottom is a 357 from 1985. I’ve read that some don’t like “Anniversary” models, but this is gorgeous IMO and I believe the price was right, regardless of being an Anniversary model. It was #696 of 2,500 made which is kinda cool to me as well.
The top is a 45 Colt from 1990. I just love the look of the blue/wood contrast on these. I always wanted my first to be a 357, then 45 colt, and next will be a 44 (I’m 42, so perhaps in 2 years for my birthday!?!?).
Anyway, now I have research here to do, and buy some equipment, so that should get me back into this hobby. And, hopefully get me to the range more than I’ve been in the past few years.
Thanks for reading, please feel free to reply with comments, questions, tips, tricks, etc.; it’ll help me keep motivated about the adventures ahead of me! -Brad
