I think i will have to build one of these. I've got a good shooting M&P .38 from 1906 that was horribly rebuffed and reblued that would be a winner for this, found the Barrel band source, now to decide if I want to bob the barrel on the old timer from 1906.

Just picked this up today, a 1921 Winchester Model 12 in 16 Gauge. Lots of honest wear but whoever used this gun took good care of it, because it is still as tight as a tick.

Picked up some new buffalo horn stocks for a 1926 S&W .38 and popped them on today with a Tyler T grip. Pictured with a 5" S&W .38 from 1906.

A work in progress : an ostrich skin shoulder holster for the S&W #3 actually fits a detachable mag Broomhandle snugly, and disappears under a sport jacket.
Still needs a retention strap and I think I'm going to repurpose the .44 loops on the left side to retaining straps for a brown leather mag pouch (taken off a Makarov holster ages ago), which will hold one (1) spare stripper clip of 9mm.

Just had a little work done on my Argy 1911, new hammer and got some cocobolo grips from Bawanna to dress "Old Slabsides" up.

That notch in the rail is supposed to be there
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson (1764).

This is a 1946 S&W pre-Model 10 and a 1945 Sheaffer Triumph Valiant fountain pen. A little too late for the Zoot suit, but ...

I use it, or one like it, every day. I collect them, restore them, and buy and sell them.
