Gratuitous Picture Thread!

[Packman]

Lets see some guns! Show off your hardware here, as well as your camera skills. Bonus points will be awarded for pictures of guns in action.

Revolvers, Howdahs, Harper's Ferry, shotguns, Brown Bess, Kentucky Rifle, It's all fair game! If you've got a good shot, let's see it!

To kick this thread off, here's some of mine. The long barrel is an 1858 New Model Army, and the Brass frame is an 1851 Confederate Navy Sheriff. Both are .44 caliber. The holster is a leather affair I picked up in Spain. Not the most robust rig, and I wouldn't give it hard use, but it sure is a looker.

Whatcha got, THR?

I'll play along. My one smoker (so far) 1858 Pietta Remington in .44.

Dang, nice shots, Gentlemen!

Clembert, you have a way with the cameras. Very, very nice. I suspect I might have to shell out a little extra for a stainless model on whatever I buy next. Blue is nice, but yours are gorgeous. I'm still awaiting a range report on that modded Dragoon, by the way!

Kwhi43, What is that pistol? Very unusual looking, especially for a flintlock.

Prairedawg, what model are those colts? I haven't seen those before, I don't think. I LIKE the swoopy frames. They've got some sexy lines!

Keep 'em coming, folks!

Come on Pyro, black powder doesn't stink that bad.

This is the old school 11 bore breaching gun I got with this year's PFD:

 

[Prairie Dawg]

They're all 1860s
The two Avenging Angels were marketed by Cabelas several years ago as "snubnose 1860s"

I have a fondness for snubbies & have cut the barrels on many 1860s & 1851s, but these came shortened.

Pietta still markets these in Europe & VTI still has the barrels on their product list.

Too much fun

Here's a beauty done by my pard Goldsmith:

Prairie Dawg,

Very nice. That last one is unusual. Am I looking at it right? I looks like a brass frame with a steel triggerguard and backstrap.

I have to say, I'm liking the look of your snubbies too. I really like the look of the Old Army, but from what I hear, good luck getting one, even if you're willing to shell out.

Only 2 long rifles?

 

[madcratebuilder]

I sure like that Birdshead grip frame, drool!

A few Colts.
