Let's see some ponies

Was messing around the safe and decided to fondle my ponies.

Lower left- original colt trooper in 22lr, first gun I ever shot, dad helped me hold it when I was 4 or 5, after shooting at a bucket we went and looked at the lines the bullets made as they skimmed the dirt around it because I missed, burned in my memory forever.

Middle - colt rail gun in 22lr, stamped as a colt but actually made by walther under license from colt. Shoots amazing, absolutely love it.

Upper right - recent acquisition, actually from THF to be precise. It's a Franken colt, colt govt slide with NM barrel/bushing and various other aftermarket frills, built on a federal ord. Frame. have yet to shoot this one, its slick and tight for a 1911, I'm hoping it will run good.

Let's see yours!

Only one I own. 1976 peacemaker

How about an old one. Colt New Service.

That new service looks like a prototype for the trooper

Delta Elite 10mm

Love the matching grip sets

Haven't taken the time to send the grip frame off to have a set of grips made for this one.

Really nice!

This model is really high on my list, hoping to find one sometime this year.

Bought new by my grandfather in 57’. He carried it every day in the lettuce fields of Salinas Ca.
Even shot a man with it who ran off with the payroll taken from his truck.

Challenger

How cool! 4 digit SN?

My Great Grandfathers pistol. He was a deputy Sherri’s in Gainesville way back when.

yes sir.

Colt 1903, type II. If I remember correctly, mfg around 1909.

Nice

For several years I have been looking for a nice early walnut-handled SAA 1873. At last year’s Tulsa Gun Show I found one.

Deal me into this game, please...

I'll open with a 70s vintage Detective Special. Getting a bit blue-worn from carry, but sporting a new set of Herrett's stocks.



Here's something a bit different. Back in the 80s I had a 4" Python that had gotten out of time. Sent it to Fred Sadowski's 300 Gunsmith Service for tuning and a 5" slab-sided bull barrel. Great belt gun with as smooth an action as I've ever handled. Slick as butter in July.




My laser. This 8" Python will keep the 100 yard swinger dancing...



Lastly, my BBQ gun. A 70s vintage Gold Cup that I shot 'til everything rattled and carried 'til most of the finish was gone. This was back when IPSC still remembered what the "P" stood for. Decided to resurrect it and sent it to Frank Glenn in AZ for retrofitting and then on to Turnbull for CCH. Mammoth ivory stocks. They may have to bury this one with me.

sweet all of them - have to forward to wife on valentines when she ask what I want

Ok, I will play.

My Grandfather 1903 with factory mother of pearl grips. .32 caliber. Manufactured in 1923.

Found this ponie in my grandads dresser when we cleaned out the house. Old 25 Auto sold originally in NYC in 1906.

Army Special in 32-20. Made in 1922, my parent's birth year.

Funny someone earlier called his "old".
I am a Gainesville resident now days and this 1904 .32WFC was issued new by the Texas Rangers to an ancestor...circa 1904 in Grayson County.

I got in a bind in college and let a lot of nice ones get away from me for penny's on the dollar. Still miss my nickel 6" Trooper-III, Series 70 Gold Cup, consecutive serial number pair of Walther PP's with Polizei stamps....among others....

My baby! Colt anaconda

I’ll play. Single action
Buntline scout in .22mag

^^^^That's pretty sweet right there!

Thank you sir

I had to go buy one so I could play too. Actually got it to compare to the Ruger SR1911 9mm LW. We will se how the heavy 5” stainless does in 9.
