    I'll play -
    First a Browning BDA I've had for years


    Next a pair of 1911-like, one by Star and one Iver Johnson. They take mostly the same parts and mags:


    Then there is the KelTec:
    God Bless America
    US Army, NRA Patron, TSRA Life
    SASS, Ruger & Marlin accumulator

    Wife has two Bersa M-85's, why two i don't know. but they are fine all steel pieces, adjustable rear sights with 13 rd mags and quite accurate.

    She also has their little brother, a Bersa all steel M-23 .22 rf and it is very accurate for such a little guy.

    Model-23 top, Model 85 bottom.

    The boolits in post #7 are:
    Left: Lyman 356404 as id'd by Bcall. It is 100g TC
    Right: SAECO #377 and is !22g TC

    The left boolit looks like the same boolit in Post #2. Is it?

    Both these boolits have served me well!

    Here's the only one I have now, model 51 Remington. In my opinion one of the most ergonomic pistols ever made.

    That's a beautiful Remington quack. They're remarkably thin, too.

    I'm sure you're right Mike about it being Model 1922 but where it gets interesting or confusing is that the GI who brought it back was in Army Intelligence during WW II as an interogater. There's a good chance that this pistol was carried by a German officer but there are no Nazi markings on it. My son recieved a rifle and a pistol and both of those had Nazi markings on them. Sure wish his girlfriends granfather was still alive to talk to.

    Unless I'm headed into the woods, my Mustang Pocketlite is usually what I'm carrying, in a -- in a -- well, in a pocket holster made by someone in Wisconisn. I just can't remember the name! Nice holster, too.

    Here's the .380, anyway:
