Recently acquired these two beauties. They are the new Gold Cups made after 2006 I think. They have adjustable rear sites dovetailed into the frame. The front site also looks dove tailed into the frame. The sites look solid but the rear is black and so is the front, when lining these up...
I was an M.P in the army and carried a Rem- Rand that would rattle if you shook it. I promised myself when I got home I would buy a new Colt Government series 70. I did it cost $277.00 out the door in 1977 or 78. I have shot it about 400 rounds worth. I even put an idiots mark on it before I...
LCP max 380 with 10 round mag in the gun and a 12 round mag in the other pocket. I'm old and it is comfortable to carry daily. I know that Clint Smith says it's not supposed to be comfortable but comforting, I'll just agree to disagree with him on this point.
Fabrique National D'arms de Herstal Belgique cal 32 ACP or 7.65 for the Europeans on here. This has real pearl grips and is covered with engravings. I'm not sure if it's factory engravings because I purchased this used and got no history on it. it's almost a perfect finish. It has 3...

Another from the back of the safe for my brothers and sisters on the Trader. This is an engraved FN 1910 model with real pearl grips manufactured around 1920ish in the powerful 32 acp caliber. What I have read about these guns is that John Browning offered it to Colt but they were happy with...
Just want to share a very interesting gun from the back of the safe. I am not an expert on these so if you have any info or comments please politely share. This is a Colt Lighting 38 DA. They were made from 1877 through 1909 I believe. This example is from 1880 or 81. I think the short...
I have a couple of these one original and 2 re-chambered. They shoot well with standard 38 ammo. They feel real comfortable in my hand and it's a piece of history. Enjoy it!
Just ordered a T grip from a company named BK grips. They had a blem ( discolored ) I'm going to try them and if they fit my hand well, I'll order more so I can install them with original wooden J frames grips. Tyler t grips has some nice choices and trigger shoes as well. Anyone tried the...
I also enjoy shooting the I frames especially the 32 long. My wife and daughter love them as well cause they are soft shooting, minimal recoil and accurate as well. I know they are a bit under powered but heck I wouldn't want to be shot by one. Can you believe in the old days some police...
This is so cool all these snubbie lovers sharing comments and fantastic pics. You all have truly made my day! For the guy who said he can't hit anything, your not doing anything wrong just a good reason to shoot and practice more maybe a set of aftermarket rubber/ wood grips and new springs...
