Dan!

I've always wondered just how many guns you owned since you had a gunstore and I always read about your deals you've always found.

Sweet collection!

 

[yesterdaysyouth]

[DorGunR]

i'm pretty sure he's holding out on us....

I'm pretty sure he is too..........I don't see a pic of his "Gold Cup".

 

[Marshall]

Sir Ala, great taste, beautiful firearms!

 

[horge]

Thank you so much for sharing your 'family pics'.
If your 'kids' take after you in any way,
you must be one handsome dude.
If they take after their mom ---she hella hot.

Dan - sweet, very sweet. I just lurv family photo's From one SIG lover to another - Happy Thanksgiving, even tho nearly over.

Let me add a link - A vid presentation of most of my handguns (5.8 Mb) which might be of interest to some. Many of the pics I have of course at some time or another posted here but - this is my ''family''

 

[Ala Dan]

Many thanks for the kind words there Chris my friend~!
Just playing 'round with the new "digi-cam", and as you
can see I ain't NO expert photographer~!

BTW, I could not get your link too open?

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving

 

[P95Carry]

Dan - try again - I just checked and I had made a minor syntax error - which of course negated the integrity of the link. Corrected it.

Digi cams are great tho eh - I do like not wasting film

 

[Gixerman1000]

Nice collection you have there

 

[wardog]

Nice collection Dan.

But....about those autos. 1911's are outnumbering SIG's 2 to 1....what gives?

 

[Ala Dan]

Att: wardog My Friend-

Well, you see I had two more SIG's~! that I bought NIB. A .40 caliber
P229, and a two-tone P226 in 9m/m. I could not stand the Euro grip angle
of the P226; and the P229 felt too top heavy with its stainless steel slide.
Thus, the SIG 9m/m P228, and my beloved .45 caliber P220A are all that
remains.

As far as the 1911's, I'm re-acquainting myself with them; thanks to my
very good friend from the Northeast, silent one. He is an ole' 1911
shooter from way back, and recently got me into them. Back in the very
early 70's I had Colt's. Government models, Combat Commanders, and
even 2X Gold Cup's. But, after becoming a LEO I decided that I needed
a weapon light in weight, perfect balance, and chambered in .45 ACP
to help thwart off the evils of our time. Thus, evolved the SIG P220A.

Att: Chris My Friend-

Very nicely done, and I'm really impressed with your collection. Hey, I
even enjoyed the music (laughing loudly).

 

[silent one]

Say there Dan my friend,

You didn't need me to re-introduce you to the 1911. All I did was give you a little nudge Great pics, but not nearly as beautiful as your better half, Denny, and the little angel. BTW,you're makin this damn Yankee jealous with your "arsenal".

Nice to meet your family

 

[Ky Larry]

Dan, no Python or S&W Model 19? Perhaps you can speak to the Mrs. about expanding your brood. Very nice "family."

 

[Ala Dan]

Att: Ky Larry My Friend

Larry, I have had several Colt Pythons and S&W model 19's over the years. Kind'a lost interest in the Pythons, as they are just too
big even for my big mitts. I recently passed on a early 70's model that
was in pristine condition; 6" blue steel with box and doc's that I could
have had for $600 OTD. The original owner traded it in on a NIB Para
Warthog~!

As too the S&W 19's? I hope to add a pristine 4" (or 6") blued version
to the stable before to awfully long. These weapons are very hard to
locate for sale in my region. I guess they remain as a "fan favortie"
among us gun nuts.
