Hit the jackpot today. Was able to score four new handguns!~ Some collector pieces, some new. So without further fanfare....

I found this excellent example of the 1873 SAA for cheep. As you can see, in used but otherwise not totally abused condition. Appears to have original parts, and the finish has been aged to a fine patina. This one was an example from about 1957, in 45LC.

Remington Derringer, 3rd model in 38S&W cal. Very nice, all original. I don't plan on shooting this one.

I really like this one. Browning 1922 in 380acp. Made in Liege by FN, very very clean, with wonderfully sharp engraving and cartouche(s) on the frame and grips. I will probably shoot, then carefully clean and preserve this one.

AND IN CASE THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.....

I couldn't resist the ugly beast - Chiappa Rhino 4" .357mag... ugly mofo, but very low recoil. I don't think its more than a curiosity, something to bring out when you have to have the last word. But it does deserve to be in the collection.


And there you have it!~

I have the same watchband, but not the same guns. It looks like you need to clean them. :D

the browning is my favorite. I like the deep blued finish.

Careful, you'll shoot your eye out with that thing.

At least you didn't have to give an arm and a leg for those new guns. :)

That SAA is just to die for. What a beauty. Should have left that Rhino behind though, it's just too ugly no matter how good it shoots.

This thread is such a nailbiter. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

You got me, but you posted a day early for April Fools. There are 31 days in March!

I know the Rhino has little muzzle "flip", but if you start brandishing that offensive thing, people will likely "flip" theirs right back at you. LOL!

The urly burd gits the wurm

Plus... there was a chance I was gonna be spending the night away from home on business. Turns out that I was able to conclude things and get out in time for late arrival of about 1130p... hence jumping the gun a little.

Once nice thing, those pistols all conceal in my pocket quite easily, or can be carried "Al Bundy" in the waist band

Without a holster IWB = Mexican Al Bundy :)

I saw this article from Massad Ayoob a while ago about the history of Mexican Carry... pretty cool caballeros.

Darn, I just now caught that. I don't think I'd care for a left hand SAA. I'm all the way right far as appendages.

That was funny! LMAO! :D I was not expecting that! I was getting ready to look at some very cool guns. You sucked me right in!

Too funny! I actually think that looks better than the real Chiappa... :)
