My Grandma (born 1877) didn’t put up with any nonsense from the ruffian lead miners in SE Missouri back in the 1890s.
(Sharps .30 caliber 4 barrel derringer).

Just picked up this beautiful C-Sharps Highwall with a vintage Malcolm Scope. Not my usual taste, but definitely caught my eye.

S&W Model 29-9 Heritage Series made by thr Performance Center in 2001. Only 176 exist and they're literally the final N-Frames to every leave S&W without the lock.

Doing 17 things at once, this evening, I said to myself, "Now, that, would be a random gun photo."

It's confused.... one minute it thinks it's a pistol, the next it thinks it is a revolver. Damn Clinton AWB killed it. Super thin grip for a 15rder.

Its an old LED watch from the ‘70’s. They sucked so much power they only display the time when you push the button, then go back to sleep.

Nice! My Dad worked for TI back then, several of his projects were watches and calculators. Ill have to ask if he remembers that one.
I had a Casio wrist calculator with a full (yet tiny) keyboard. Pretty much neede a pencil eraser to push the buttons.

My Father did too, radar.

Still have some of the older consumer products. When’s the last time someone paid $100 for a 4 function calculator?

If the high price could be justified - for a plinking rifle in 5,56/,223 : Swiss Sig 550. . Do many US gun owners realize that some countries use periods and commas in the opposite manner with numbers?

It was ever so clever of Colt to come up with such a keen bit of cartridge nomenclature!

Sort of like Winchester calling their cartridges in their 1873’s the .38 WCF or .44 WCF, WCF for Winchester Center Fire.

Others, such as Colt, not wishing to endorse the Winchester name, changed them to the .38-40 and .44-40.

Same for the .30 WCF, AKA the .30-30.

Wichita silhouette pistol chambered for the 7mm IHMSA Rimmed cartridge.
It's the 30-30 case necked down to 7mm with a sharper shoulder.
The cartridge is way over-bore capacity. It's possible to push 139s to over 2000 fps and 154s to 1900, but the, "sweet spot" for this gun seems to be 1675 fps.
With 139s and 154s and 175s at that velocity I get Standard Deviations of 13-14 and it'll group 2-3" at 200 meters with a scope mounted.
