We need better photos of the Walther to truly appreciate it.

 

As far as that mall Santa goes.

 

If this link works it leads to "the Hole Book" printed in 1908.
A fun read.

Better?

 

Indeed. You don't see many P88s where I live, yours looks too be a nice one.

 

Well it was my birthday......so I got another plastic gun.
Glock 45 9mm

 

WINTER CARRY
Since I am wearing jackets in the winter this P220 is easy to conceal. This picture does not do the 220 justice. The slide has been redone hard chrome as the base finish then nickel over the hard chrome finish.
The flats on the slide have a brushed finish that is hard to see in the picture. Every now and then I enjoy having a firearm done my way.

 

I have switched to carrying my Drlta Elite since it's winter and I'm wearing jackets or coats all the time.

 

I have a stainless steel Delta Elite, but much prefer the look of your blued Delta Elite Waltese Falcon.

 

Just killing a little time today...

 

Nothing wrong with stainless just another look and more durable finish

 

More like time well spent.

 

I have been super busy working a lot of hours at my shop so not much time to visit the forum. Since the covid19 it is hard to get electricians hydraulic repair guys to come out and hook up machines in my shop. So that leaves me and a couple co workers to figure out and hook up the machines Trying to get production work out the door and doing repair work on machines takes it's toll. Today I took the day off and spending my day off kicked back watching nfl games

 

Thanks Noelekal.

 

I don’t think I’ve visit this thread before, but wanted to let y’all know that if you unexpectedly received leggings in the mail...

I usually order maple syrup from Canada, but a 9mm is an acceptable substitute....

 

I thought my "legging" was being pulled until I read the article. I am sorry that I doubted the truth of the news media before having read the article. And now my side hurts a little from the giggles.

 

Never did stick this new acquisition up here though I've had it back for a couple months now.

Done on the "easy-pay" play.

It's an early 1960s Smith & Wesson Model 14 K-38 Masterpiece target revolver with 6-inch barrel, shown with my 8 3/8-inch barrel Model 14 that I purchased new in January of 1980.



The 6-inch Model 14 was acquired for cheap at a January 2017 San Angelo, Texas gun show as a frame with action intact and a barrel, but without cylinder or yoke and without sights or original stocks, but rather was wearing hideous aftermarket Pachmayr rubber grips. It's the "-2" revision of the Model 14 which is a little less common variant of the model.

I was figuring on gathering in needed component parts and gradually restoring the revolver. So, have spent the last three years acquiring proper vintage cylinder with yoke, sights, and correct Magna checkered "diamond" walnut stocks.

How hard could it be to fit a new cylinder and yoke? Didn't detect that the barrel on the revolver had been either monkeyed with or changed out before I got it. The cylinder wouldn't completely close yet the barrel cylinder gap was so great one could pitch a cat through it. Still haven't figured that one out yet.

So, gathered up the barreled frame and took it to my long suffering local gunsmith who pronounced the barrel as scrap. He did allow that he did have not one, but six proper early 1960s 6-inch Smith & Wesson Model 14 barrels still new in their wrappers, having never been installed on a revolver. So, an investment was made in one of the barrels and the restoration project came together. In the end I could have simply acquired an original Model 14-2 off of GunBroker for less than total cash outlay to put this one back into service. If only the barrel had worked out, not requiring replacement ...

It came off looking quite nice and with mechanics which are first rate. I haven't shot it yet as I had extensive shoulder surgery in early October and can't yet do justice to off hand handgun shooting. Blue finish of the replacement components matches perfectly as do markings and walnut stocks and one would almost never know the difference, but this one has to be described as a mongrel.

 

Beautiful pair of revolvers Noelekal. How did the surgery go? Smoothly I hope.

 

I love these - learnt my pistol shooting many years ago on S&Ws of various shapes and sizes, and still love them.

"Mongrel' sounds a bit harsh. Given this is a watch forum, could we call it a Frankenwheel?
