The Sedgley-Springfields were known as the "Poor man's Griffin & Howe" and were priced at about $65.00 in the 1920's which was about half G&H's sticker prices. This one cost and extra $10.00 for circassian walnut imported from Russia..View attachment 962425 View attachment 962426 View attachment 962428

The cop carrying that super light and reliable Glock, along with a ton of gear, sure does appreciate the design however. Apples and orangesI remember, as a young kid, teen and adult, going in the gun shops and seeing all the beautiful long guns and handguns, with pretty wood and blue a and stainless steel. The racks and counters were full of them. Now, you are lucky if you can find one. Everybody, now, wants the latest plastic wonders. Even the gun magazines, don’t have many articles on guns made of walnut and steel guns, now. Myself, I own a two glocks, one synthetic stocked shotgun, and one synthetic stocked rifle. I see them as not much more than a good hammer. If I had to sell some guns, they would be the first to go. There is no craftsmanship in them. They are just injected molded plastic and stamped steel. There is nothing in this world, like being out hunting, and being able to admire a fine firearm. The plastic stuff just doesn’t make me fill the pride of owning it, like a walnut and steel gun does.
If I was carry a pistol everyday, it would be a glock. I wasn't implying they were not good pistols. They have there place. I would not carry a fine double out in a swamp, duck hunting. But a synthetic stock shotgun would be fine. If you lay a glock by a 1911 or a revolver, that is made by one of the good manuafactors, it is not apples and oranges. Quality and craftsmanship speaks for it's self.The cop carrying that super light and reliable Glock, along with a ton of gear, sure does appreciate the design however. Apples and oranges
I guess my point is why even bring a Glock into the conversation?If I was carry a pistol everyday, it would be a glock. I wasn't implying they were not good pistols. They have there place.

Yep. Notice that the hood is missing from one of the 550s in the group photo. I have it beside my house serving as a shelter for my lawn tractor.Really like those CZ's (I think), 16Turbo, good wood, excellent triggers and metal work with a reputation for outstanding accuracy....right down to that sight hood that's big enough to keep my Ford Ranger out of the rain...wonder what they were thinking....Rod
Now there is a butt that just won't quit!
