He might not be the only one.

My favorite "shooter" is a nickel (or maybe even chrome, ungodly shiny), 42 code 1940 chamber date, with, get this, REAL stag grips on it, hahahaha!!!

Complete matched #s, but I use MecGar mags in it, and the deceased elderly cop, whose son who I bought it from, actually electro-penciled his Social Security number all over all the inside parts and frame!

I added the cool stag grips, (she said proudly).

It's a real looker and traffic stopper at the range, and I just love the gaudy critter!
All it needs is a ton of engraving and it will be a classic Texas BBQ gun.

When fellow board member Leon DeSpain was kind enough to come visit and give me current appraisals on the collection a few years back, even HE liked it enough he hung a $1,000 tag on it!

Sometimes gaudy just plain rocks.
