Old and new

[JoeHenry]

Out of your collection, post something old and something new. I’ll start with a couple of my favorite 9 MM’s.

 

[Ethan Verity]

My old 1977 S&W Model 29-2 on the left, with a new 2019 S&W Model 29-10 on the right. You can see how much deeper the bluing was on the older models, it's absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Jimbo80]

1981 PSP and 2020 SP5

Well here's the old. Maybe a good reason to get a new!!
My S&W family
There's a 32 S&W Long, 38 S&W, several 38 Special and a 45 acp

"Kinda" old - Smith Model 63 that I've had since sometime in the early to mid '80s
"Fairly" new - Glock 44 that I've had since just before covid started a couple of years ago
They're both .22LRs of course, and I use them both for the same things - mostly just fun and fishing ("kit guns" for shooting at impromptu targets when the fish aren't biting) and exterminating ground squirrels. The "old" Model 63 has put more ran over cats out of their misery than I care to remember though, while I haven't had to use the Glock 44 for that yet.
With Federal Premium "Hunter Match" (40gr HP 1,200fps) ammo, the Glock 44 is as reliable as the Smith Model 63, and it's almost as accurate as the Model 63 fired single-action. It doesn't weigh as much either.
However, would I trade my little "kit gun" for a Glock 44? No way! There's too many memories built into that revolver, and I don't like the new "kit gun" offerings from Smith. Besides, I can afford 2 22s.

Ironically, the semi-auto is far older than the SAA.

The Mauser was made in 1915-16.

I bought the Cimarron NiB earlier this year.

Not pistols, but ‘86 1100 and 2015ish 870.

Two very good shooters!

 

[Speedo66]

Older style revolver and newer style. Uberti Cattleman and S&W 65.

Older style pocket gun, and newer style. Unknown maker and LCP.

 

[Tallball]

Two S&W Military and Police service handguns, one old-fashioned and one modern:

The revolver was manufactured in 1915-16. I don't know its history. It may or may not have been an actual service weapon. Its finish is gone, the rifling is worn, and the lockup is slightly loose, but it will still shoot a few cylinders of target loads in SA or DA without shaving lead or malfunctioning. The trigger is a little stiff and the sights are tiny, but it will shoot a decent group at seven yards.

The semiauto is maybe ten or fifteen years old? I misremember, but it's pretty young compared to 105 years old. It was a police service pistol and has a little bit of holster wear. It's one of my favorite 45acp pistols and an excellent shooter.

I'll play
This totally fits the premise--1915 and 2021 production, more than a century (just shy of six score) of pocket pistol
1903 and SIG365

Not quite as dramatic--1915 production and 1991 production

Gov't Model .380 and 1903
