    That’s precious, darlin’.

    Beautiful gun. I was a HS senior in the fall of 1989.
    I graduated from HS in 1969. I also have a Colt Official Police 4" from that year...maybe I shouldn't sell it.

    Safariland/Rogers 070 or SSIII. Back then, it was likely the Rogers. Exact same thing just marked different. Had all the guys in my academy class from my agency using them. I was the first person to use this type of holster at my agency. I was extremely fast out of it, and liked its level of retention. This type of holster helped save my life twice in retention situations.

    As far as speedloaders....45 Long Colt speed loaders are like little tomato paste cans. The triples were impressive on the belt.
    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.

    ^^^^That shot looks a lot like my brother-in-law back in the day. Great shot, Ken.



    ETA:

    This pic goes back a little further but I can't find the one I'm looking for. Enough of the resemblance is shown in the image though..
