Handgun Picture Thread

[knormal]

Shooting a hard drive? Y'know, they're mostly made of aluminum. I have, on multiple occasions, put a hard drive atop a stump and swung an axe, slicing it in two. I find that viscerally more satisfying than shooting them from a distance.

Maybe that's just me.

Some hard drives have glass platters and will shatter like an old fashioned ornament - everywhere in little pieces. So heads up for handling, eyewear etc.

I used to love those. I could do a standard 7-pass wipe then just rap 'em with a hammer when it was time to dispose of them.

I should note that I haven't drawn a distinction between official duties and killing hard drives for fun. Different situations can use different methods and shooting at a drive is perfectly satisfying, I'm sure.

Last piece across my bench. Milspec that I filled with goodies.
Ed Brown barrel. EGW ignition controls. All the external stainless controls are Wilson pieces. ArchAngel Magwell grips. Pearce grip enhancement. Night sights. Trigger breaks like crystal at 3lbs.

Yes it is a POS.......but I got it so cheap, I couldn't help myself.....that and no Colt collection would be complete without one.........

I would just have to put a loaded gun in that case, just to see what happens.

I don't think I have seen one before.

One day those will be worth some $.

It's one of Colt's failures. The trigger is just so long and heavy. It looks cool but that's it.

Might put your eye out.

After six months, I finally got my SAA back from Colt. Had the cylinder replated due to flaking, the action smoothed and the fire blued screw set added.

Picture won't open - sez no permission to view that album.

Would love to see it though.

Thanks mom.

Speaking of that topic, bought my youngest grandson (age 7) a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Better late than never.

Cool! Bought myself an early Christmas present today, the Heritage Rough Rider 22lr was on sale again at Academy.

A couple of 8 rounder Sigs.

How are you set for spare mags?

I was so convinced that I was going to own one of those one day I actually bought a mag for it before I bought the gun...then I never got around to buying the gun.

Here's how crazy I was and how youthful experiences can color our judgement as adults. The first time I saw an AA2000 they were brand new so that would be the early 1990s. I asked to dry-fire the pistol and was granted permission by the counter clerk. The trigger felt exactly like a spring-loaded disc-lauching toy pistol I had owned and loved as a small boy. Yes, for a real firearm it was atrocious but the flood of great memories was amazing. (Insert "Dopamine is a hell of a drug" joke, here.) l was totally in love and had to have one.

Before I got around to buying, they fell off the face of the earth and I actually shot enough good triggers to come back to my senses.

But for a minute, there...

I actually did buy one back in 92 or 93.....sold it later with almost all my firearms to finance the family move to Texas....(have never regretted the move and will never, ever leave Texas). The trigger is bad as I remembered....functions fine, shoots a decent group at 15 yards...but my trigger finger is numb after 15 rounds.

If you are sure you will never own one and want to trade that mag for another mag that you need or just some extra cash........
