PICTURES: Blue Steel and Walnut

SharpsDressedMan · Jan 7, 2012

Although I own and like all kinds of guns, I think I have some special place in my heart for those of blued steel and walnut. I thought it would be appropriate if we shared them with each other. Anyone else afflicted similarly?

I'll play...

I might be able to scare up something.

Not sure I have walnut grips left on ANY of my pistols. My favorite wood is cocobolo... hmm.

They do tend to grow on you.

SharpsDressedMan · Jan 8, 2012

Walnut is "old school", cocobolo is a bit more recent.

Ok I managed to find a couple in my collection still sporting walnut:

1919 made Colt Government Model
1939 Mauser made Luger

Enjoy

Blue steel and walnut? OK.

But I also have a fondness for nickel.

And sometimes I like ivory rather than walnut.

They are all too pretty to use and get dirty :neener:

that luger calls to me

Dr.Rob · Jan 9, 2012

Shooter-grade Lugers aren't that hard to find and still just under a grand. I need to pick one up soon as the way the market is going my 1939 matching Luger is going to be too valuable to shoot!

My P49 came with these later production (mid-80s) commercial P210 stocks.
I assume SIG used walnut. Do they still grow walnuts in Switzerland?

Not mine.

When it comes to blued steel, a Python is in a class all by itself. I had Pythons in 2 1/2, 4, and 6 inch varieties. The word "had" just makes me want to kick myself in the butt. I have also "had" a scad (that's more than a gob) of Smith revolvers. Now I don't even own a blued handgun.

That pic of the J-Frame on the chess board made me hand my head in shame for selling mine. At least I still have a pristine set of old school J-Frame grips.

I prefer cocobolo as well. However, I still have an old Colt Army Special from 1924 that can play along.

Does this count? I think most of the blueing is gone.

Dr.Rob · Jan 10, 2012

Yes, that counts! Nice Colts!

Actually, believe it or not, that is actually a K Frame 3" Model 13. The angle of the picture and lack of a T-Grip (it has one now) do make it look J Frame small though.

See, this is why I can't stop buying handguns! Now I want another revolver. Geez, you guys are killing me!!!
