My other weakness when it comes to pistols is black powder cap and ball. I have a Ruger "Old Army" .45 caliber revolver and a Pedersoli .44 caliber derringer that I shoot regularly. The RSO's at the range always put me down wind of the other shooters because of all the smoke I generate.

Both pistols are a joy to shoot due to the "Ker Bang" report, the flash of fire, and the huge puff of smoke. Here they are....

I'm also kind of partial to the Colt Police Positive...

Here are most of them.

davidkachel · 12-21-2006, 11:05 AM

Keep 'em coming guys. This is fantastic.
Oh, and please email me your addresses and hours you are not home! <grin>

Ron;

Here's my latest: Caliber 450 Eley Short, made in 1876 and sent to England where it was silver plated. Only about 250 made in this caliber.

This is a WONDERFUL Thread!!!

I wish I had some pictures to post (when I get time?) - but lately, I've been falling into the swan song of fine double shotguns and trap guns (I shoot a lot of trap - but that's another subject...)...

My collection so far? Parker GHE (1917), Wm. Scott SxS Gilder (1920), Daly Prussian Lightweight (1906), Wm Read (1916), Ithaca 4E SxS trap (1927), IJ SxS Trap, Ithaca 4E Knick (1949), Browning Ultra XT (well - 2003, but it's my every weekend trap gun

), Merkel 147 SL with Game Scenes Custom Engraving, and closing in on a Daly Diamond Prussian SxS Trap...

Also - have a few others, like tangent sight H-Ps, Win '92 in 44-40, Mauser 340 ESB Prewar, etc..

Hi Hugh...

You just made my Christmas Card list

I knew if I started posting up some of my old side-by-sides, I wouldn't be alone

OUSTANDING!! What is your Parker??? 16GA isn't all that common - so CONGRATS!!!

Is it OK that I like wierd rifles also? I was extreamly happy to pick one of these beautiful SIG PE 57 (Cal 7.5x55 Swiss) rifles up this year. I recently shot it and I am more than pleased with its accuacy and the way it handles. I think it is nicer than my SIG AMT (Wood stocked 7.63 NATO). I just wanted to share the pictires of my favorite Rifles.

Steinar · 12-22-2006, 07:36 AM

Very interesting guns coming up

fg42, I guess you mean 7.62NATO.

In my safe I find mostly just 'boring' hunting guns, like;

A Mauser K98 converted into 7.62Nato (elk)
Mauser K98 in original shape (collection)
Marlin .22 (birds)
Marlin 336 (Deer)
Remington 870 SM (birds)
2* Beretta single barrel shotguns (birds)
Star shotgun (birds)

+ a handfull of Lugers, one Melior 7.62, one Montenegrin 11.75 and one Mauser 1914.
I also have a MP5, glock and G3 rifle in there, but those belong to the military.

Steinar · 12-22-2006, 07:50 AM

ahh.. I forgot about the
Krag JÃ?Â¸rgensen rifle (collection) and an old Belgian side by side shotgun.

sorry, no pictures..

Vlim · 12-22-2006, 09:36 AM

Hi,

Nice thread. This old bugger sleeps between my lugers and he's quite happy with it, especially since his holsterstock got some nice leather, courtesy of Richie, 'the Gunman'.

fg42 and Morgan, I collect pistols, but somehow end up with a Garand, M1 Carbine, Arisaka, AR10, etc, so...

Steinar · 12-22-2006, 10:35 AM

Ed, I had a M1 Garand a few years ago, but had to deactivate it

It was stamped with a lion, so it had been in our army at some point, then sold out to the civilian marked.. and later to be 'banned'.

I really miss that rifle.. truly a great gun!

fg42 · 12-22-2006, 10:37 AM

Yes Morgan 7.62 NATO. Any time after 2 AM I tend to get numerically dyslexic . I have the same problem with Tokarev's and Argentine Mausers. I also have a problem passing Krag's. Bob Benson

Steinar · 12-22-2006, 11:53 AM

Nice Krag's fg42! Have they been in military service?

thegundude · 12-22-2006, 05:05 PM

Do submachine guns count?

Tomathvl · 12-22-2006, 06:11 PM

Bob,
You learned photo taking from Tom A..........probably not......you have shoes on.

Edward Tinker · 12-22-2006, 06:22 PM

Tom, heh, heh

I just have a sporterized Krag "carbine", but figured I at least have one,

Steiner come on over and you can shoot one of my Garands
