Couple days ago I picked up a post - war (WW 2) Colt Official Police. This one has a six inch barrel. Serial number gives it a DOB in 1947. It was priced at $500.00 (before taxes) and I did not hesitate. For a few years after the war (actually it started during the war when Colt was making the...

Well I was worried that my sole Ruger GP100 was getting lonely so when I found this 3" GP100 I had to take it home for company. Incidentally I don't have large hands and the smaller grips that used to be standard on the 3" model fits the full-size model as well. Fits my smallish hands very...

Four years ago I purchased a Model 19-3 w/6" barrel from a co-worker. Though I had been looking for the 2.5" variant the price was very reasonable and I figured why not? Once I had it I decided it needed company. It took a few years, but I found a 19-4 w/2.5" bl in 2014 and last Friday I located...

The only problem with collecting vintage revolvers is the need (my need not somebody else's) to not inflict too much wear and tear on the grand old shooters. Regardless of the quality of the four screw S&W Model 19,pre-war Colt Officers Model Target, Colt Model 1917 Army or the pre-war (WWII)...

I paid $470 for this one back in 2013. I'm very partial to revolvers with the 6" barrel and it seems to balance perfectly on the Model 19 in my opinion. IT's also a very sweet shooter.

Colt Officer's Model ACP Series 80. This was easily one of dad's favorite handguns by far. He purchased it new in 1988. He put a lot of money into it and shot it so much that he actually went through a barrel in the mid-nineties (after he retired). However I never cared for it, but with dad's...

My father passed away four days ago. He was seventy-two. Very fast and unexpected. I'm an only child so his collection is now mine. My mother insisted that I take everything home with me. It's been a hectic few days going through all of his firearms and He was a retired Idaho State Trooper. In...

The Mauser C/96 Broomhandle 'Bolo' pistol has been one of my Grail guns for decades. Yesterday I went to an estate auction. There were three Broomhandles up for auction. I checked them out. The Red 9 (WWI make in 9mm for the German Army. Literally has a 9 carved into the grips and painted red so...

So I went to an estate auction today. The gentleman who passed was a serious gun collector. All of the pieces were in fantastic condition. There were three revolvers that I was interested in. A New York State police S&W Model 520. A Colt Army Model 1917 and a S&W Model 65 with a 3" barrel. First...

Colt woodsman 1st Issue made in 1928. That is the original finish and grips. I paid $750.00 and that included the original box. I didn't quibble. I gladly paid what the seller was asking. I can only shoot target grade 22L.R. through it since it was made before Colt came out with the improved...

British Contract Colt Official Police (mfd. 1941) in 38/200 or 38 S&W with a 5" barrel. The finish isn't commercial grade, but I had the internals checked out by an old-time gunsmith and he advised that it's very clean and in excellent shape. Now all I have to do is get some ammo for it. Colt...

I'm a huge fan of Smith's K frames and I also like revolvers with long barrels. I now have eight various K frames to include four M&P/Model 10 revolvers. For awhile I've been wanting to add a long-barreled Model 10 (I also own a Model 1905 3rd Change M&P with 6" barrel) to my collection. By the...
