Pics of a Flint Michigan PD Sig P229.
Gun was originally DAO and was converted to an SRT discussed in this thread and this thread.
I replaced all the springs prone to wear, replaced the grips with sticky grips, and did the conversion.
Very happy with how it shoots. Despite the wear on the barrel, it still will tear a single ragged hole at 7 yards. Night sights are a little weak, but I think its got some character to it.
Very nice. Did you find the watch and the box as a set?Originally Posted by Clyde from Carolina
WWII-era Hamilton Model 22 Chronometer Deck Watch. Been wanting one of these for a while.
The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
Just wanted to share this pic I took of my daughter shooting her first big prone match this weekend. She didn't get to take home anything shiny, but she got tons of experience and had a great time. This was a 3200pt match (320 shots), so lots of shooting for her. She recorded several perfect record bulls throughout the match (her first ones in competition).
This is my favorite pic of her shooting.

New ZT 0566. I really like the ZT/Hinderer design's.

Sorry I missed this before now. Yes, it was a set, although the box may have been added to "complete" the watch. I know (thanks to shipping records and serial numbers) when the watch shipped and where it went. The box...not so much.
For what it's worth, I bought it from one of the top guys who buys, sells, and services these old beauties. His name is Larry and he is "da man" on old Hamilton chronometers.
Here's the Model 22 sans box:
We've all seen the "family" photo where people put their pistols down all arranged and neat so they can show them off in a photograph. Here is my take on it:
Sort of an on accident idea for a photo, as I realized that based on how I treat my guns that is close as I will come to that. I was clearing the top shelf of my safe so I can put the racks seen in the picture so I can fit more pistols in my safe. All the guns in the prior picture plus a couple more are in this one:
I need to cover that hole somehow to gain that bit of space back.
I only have nails and iron hooks in the wall for pistol racks.
A bit retro/rockies hillbilly.
A black box Colt 3rd Dragoon. Got a decent deal, so brought it home. Would love to shoot a deer and a buffalo with it one day. The Uberti Dragoon I had before this had an interesting deep booming report that echoed off the hills when fired with full charge loads. Hugely fun to shoot. I need to drag this one and out shoot it.
I like that. A lot.
