Keep it simple... We all love pics

topspin43 · November 13, 2005, 12:24 AM

Just for the heck of it... post a semi-auto(s) and/or revolver(s)pic and tell us a little about what we're looking at.

My last purchase and fast proving to be one of my favorites. Tons of value for under $400.
CZ75D Compact PCR

Patton21 · November 13, 2005, 12:43 AM

Hey Topspin,

What do you think of that CZ compact? Does it fit your hand alright? I was reading one forum and they said they were having problems with FTE in their cz compacts, any problems so far? Gorgeous looking gun!

MostToysWins · November 13, 2005, 12:45 AM

Gun show purchases

Top Left - S&W 3913LS...My wifes range shooter and my carry peice (for now)
Bottom Left - S&W Model 60LS...My wife's carry peice
Gun store purchases

Top Right - Sig P226 CPO...got it for $455.00 with 4 mags...rather proud of that fact
Middle Right - Ruger GP100 6"...My 1st revolver, love it

Hand me downs

Bottom right - Beretta .22 Minx..my first semi-auto, dad gave it to me when I was 12, shoots like the day it was made...a lot of fun

topspin43 · November 13, 2005, 12:50 AM

I have smallish hands and it fits perfect. 1000 rounds of WWB and no FTEs so far!

281 Quad Cam · November 13, 2005, 01:08 AM

Seeing the Beretta .22 up there inspired me to post.

Just picked this up the other day, Taurus PT-22. Haven't shot it yet. I've heard equally as many bad things as good. Everything feels tight and sturdy, all of it's "functions" function. Guess I'll see if its a jammo-matic - for the price I couldn't care either way.

Also my Glock 19 and what accompanies it daily. Sorry to include so much other stuff, but its really the only picture I have of it right now. Also read : "Why Knives?"

I've included this one in previous posts... but I'm a photo whore...

My newest pea-shooter:

OkieCruffler · November 13, 2005, 09:36 PM

My favorite pistol of all time.

Mitchell Trophy II with a NcStar 2X20 scope and Herret grips. Everyone I know badmouths them, but this one never fails. And I've taken money from more than a couple of HiStandard/S&W41 snobbs.

Okay, a couple of photos...

First a pair of self-shuckers...

These are S&W Model 39's - top one made in 1972, the bottom one made in 1981. A nicely matched pair.

Lion & Lamb

Left: S&W Model 57, circa 1981, .41 Magnum, recessed w/o pinned barrel. Right: S&W Model 042 .38 Special (uncataloged transition model).

Lion & Mouse

omegapd · November 14, 2005, 03:23 AM

Here's a couple of my favorite CCWs...

My everyday is this older nickel Model 10 .38. I did replace the big wood with some Pachs, though.

If I'm travelling to a larger city (in my case, Atlanta) this S&W 40F comes along (bad reputation and all- no problems for me)

jrfoxx · November 14, 2005, 08:32 PM

Firestorm 45 ACP "Compact" model (4.5" bbl). My favorite and most trusted of my handguns. $300 NIB, 4 years and LOTS of rounds later, has been 100% reliable and as accurate as can be with fixed sights at up to 25yds (never tried further, I'm not that good

)

Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag with Pachmyr grips and a sweet trigger job. Got it used, in mint condition for $320. Tons of fun to shoot and accurate as all git out.

My 99% of the time carry rig. S&W M637, inherited vintage early 70's S&W leather holster, and speed loader with spare load of 158gr LSWCHP +p's.

grimjaw · November 15, 2005, 06:48 AM

A pair of Bulgarian Makarov PM's, both from the 1980's. Wish they didn't have the billboard, but I'm happy with them all the same. I have another one in .380, but it's not as pretty, and you only need two guns to pull a Bruce Willis double-fisted bang bang.
