·Another forum I belong to has a thread right now for guns and watches. I took these photos for it, but figured they are appropriate here as well.
A 1954 Colt 3-5-7 and a 1954 Elgin B.W. Raymond.
A 1903 Hamilton 940 (coin silver case), a 1904 Illinois Bunn Special (25 year GF Case), and a 1905 Colt Bisley.

·I really want another revolver. Im still mulling over what to buy. I’ve only got two revolvers now and they couldn’t be more different in character.
One is a Ruger Single Six .22 with a 7” barrel. It has interchangeable cylinders (one is .22 LR and one is .22 Magnum). The .22 Magnum is fun because it makes lots of noise and flame shoots out of the barrel, but it still has very low recoil. The other revolver is a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .357 Magnum, snub nose. It’s snappy to say the least!

·Found at a local pawn shop recently for peanuts. 1972 Savage 110CL Series J. Left hand but doesn't matter as the handmade stock is centered so easy to use right handed.
The wood is what caught my eye, so just nice to look at....

·Nice! They’re great little guns. They’re super accurate and fun to shoot. I upgraded mine with Williams fiber optic sights, which made it even better. It looks like possibly you did too? Here’s a pic of mine.

Nope, those are just the original target sights that Ruger used with the old three screw guns.

Texans and shootin' irons just seems so right.
You never fail to overwhelmingly impress, Bryan!
I just tallied up how old you are, you are gaining on me, Big Boy!

How can Savage finish burl wood on a basic firearm like that?
This has a story behind it, retirement gift, girlfriend, etc.

·Glocks...
If you haven't already heard, keep, buy or trade all the Glocks you can get. They're gonna double in value once the next gen Glock hits the ground running because they've redesigned them so they can't be converted to full auto with a switch. Doesn't matter whether you would or wouldn't, just the fact that they can is the reason.
We have guys buying all they can get over the phone right now.

·@noelekal here is my Model 70. According to Winchester records mine was made in 1950. I have a Lyman Peep sight on mine, I find it helps immensely with target acquisition.

Here’s the Winchester Model 70 tribe here, pre-64 and otherwise. Left to right: 1937 in .220 Swift, 1947 in .257 Roberts (took a deer with it just this morning - about 2000 yards from Oklahoma and the Red River in northern Hardeman county, Texas) and 1953 .30-06 (my very favorite hunting rifle), with a late 1980s Model 70 Super Express in .375 H&H Magnum.
