Hizzie's old duty gun. Now wearing some new custom Nills. While this thing is useless in the competitive world, it is likely the high point of a police duty revolver. 1 of 50 4" Performance Center 681 Quad Port 7 shot .357 Magnum. I have a Sparks HSR for it. Simply a great full size shooter.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

25-5 I just traded into today. It's been a good friend's for years and another good buddy's before that. We had talked about me acquiring it for a couple years. Yesterday we were out shooting .45 Colts when he finally took pity and decided to swap it to me.
Great carry system for the 25-5. I use the same thing with mine.

My pimp gun. 1905 HE .32 Long
The grips are Smith factory smooth targets, but I don't recall what wood. I don't think Walnut, maybe Goncala Alves, or Rosewood? I shortened them on the bottom, rounded the edges front and rear, and dished out a bit behind the trigger guard.Originally Posted by 45dotACP
I'm liking this 4" 24 quite a lot recently also. I did a similar butcher job on the grips. I think the wood is Walnut on this one. It also has super high tech orange finger nail paint on the front sight, since it didn't come with the factory red ramp front sight.

Colt M1878 Frontier, chopped at some time in the relatively distant past, if the work's anything to go by. I'm wanting to get it fixed up, but I haven't decided how far I want to go, which would determine to whom I wanted to send it.
You could send it to me. After I carried it around a bit, much the rust/patina would be gone from it.
BTW, cool old shooter!
Dig those Nill Grips. I gotta get some pics of Grandpa's old duty weapon, a S&W Model 66. It is what I learned to shoot handguns with.
*RS Regulate Affiliate*
.32 Hand Ejector First Model (before Smiths had an ejector thumbpiece; the cylinder released by pulling forward on the ejector rod. Also, the cylinder stop is in the topstrap and actuated by the hammer nose.)
.38 Double Action Perfected Model (Top-Break that had both the "t-latch" on top, and a regular Hand Ejector style thumb latch. Both had to be released to open the gun.)
My competition gun. This is what I am doing most of my shooting and dry practice with these days. I actually love the heck out of this thing until I see the lock hole above the cylinder release and it makes me sad to see wear its soul leaks out. Out of the box stock with simply a dry practice trigger job (the best kind) and the C&S fiber optic front sight and the Nill grips.
