S&W 25-2. I bought it new back in the late 70s or early 80s. It's had a few modifications from time to time. Neat old gun.

Ya'll had to make me go digging around in the safe.

I almost forgot, a Win 94 Trapper 45 Colt angle eject with a Williams Receiver sight. I took my first deer with it after it fell off my motorcycle on the gravel road 1/4 mile from the deer camp. Lesson learned, don't trust the snap hook on a duffel bag to keep guns securely on a bike.

It's forty-five friday for two more hours.

Apparently we’re still doing this on 4/6, so here’s my Les Baer after taking the dogs to the park and making coffee while I wait for my wife to make a grocery run to make breakfast possible.
I also agree with KevH. I’d love a true custom gun someday, but I also really enjoy shooting and carrying guns that I’ve done all or most of the work on. This one has had the milling and finishing done elsewhere, but all the parts changes and other mods here and there were me. I was doing stopping and material removal on polymer guns before, and if I’m going to tinker like that I probably belong in the 1911 world - I just need to get better at yelling at clouds.
