I like the black, rather than the crazy cerakote the cool kids are doing nowadays. I know Glock makes a really good piece, I just like to keep my pile of moderns hammer fire. Except for the little 365 lol. My new CZ I posted earlier won’t get released until tomorrow, but it will be a nice addition.

A fellow man of refinement. Very nice.
Thank you, this one's been severely upgraded inside and out, the only thing Colt about this is the name stamped on the slide now.

I began toting my Delta Elite some out on our old family place after feral hogs moved in. Also carry it on my huntin’ cousin’s ranch because of the feral hogs.

When I am out and walking I tend to prefer one of my New Services. This one I picked up cheap and it makes for a nearly perfect hiking gun. It started life as a .455 British export, at some point it received this lovely finish and the cylinder was bored out to .45Colt. It has zero collector value, but it is a good shooting gun. The stocks are a cheap Ebay purchase, the original ones were in too good of shape to leave on it.

Is vintage ammo allowed in this thread?? I have boxes of old ammo left to me by my Dad. He was a firearms dealer and didn’t get rid of anything! Check out the price on this old box of
.357!! 😁

That's the stuff right there Harbormaster.!

Potent, big bang, much thump-em!

Not like the weenie .357 Magnum (lite) factory loads of today.

I have always held the opinion that the vaunted 125 grain .357 Magnum load was much overrated and the cartridge is at its best with full powered 158 grain to 173 grain bullets. Save the lighter weights bullets for lesser cartridges.

The lead bullets Remington provided back in the day were dead soft lead with little to no alloying metal and were covered with some sort of nasty black lube that hardened on the bullet. The bullets would expand because they were soft, but they leaded one's revolver bore like fiends, making bore cleaning a chore.

At six dollars and a nickel per box, stack 'em up until I can't see over the top of 'em!

And no, they won't chamber in that Speedmaster, heh!

I too have bunches of old ammo. I have even successfully shot some of it over the years as old as before 1900.

I never was accused of being smart.

The vintage and antique ammunition has colorful and interesting labels.

My fav round, 38 Super. I wish they would have marketed this as 9mm Magnum, or something, as it would be a lot more common.

Hand is dirty as I was firing my ar without gloves, thought it was a cool pic opportunity.

And if anyone can shed some light on what this is I would be grateful. I have spent much time on the internet looking but can’t seem to find any info!
