Requesting pictures of well-worn, broken-in handguns.

There's easier ways to cover up the "idiot mark".

I assume that thing will still shoot?

Yes, Mr Holbrook put 50 rds thru it once he put another barrel in it. Scroll down that page to see another 1911 (RAF proofed) in it's well worn glory.

lol i saw that and all i could think of, a man in a trenchcoat in a back alley "so u wanna see a dirty gun?"

Here's a Colt 2nd Gen SAA and an Aldo Uberti. The elephant ivory grips on the Colt is for looks only, I usually carry it with the Pointer Pup imitation stag grip seen below it. The Colt is in .44 Special. The Uberti is a little better looking than the picture. It is in .45 Colt. Which barrell length is better? I think the 7 1/2" for longer range shooting. And the 4 3/4" for carrying in a pickup.

I don't carry this Colt OP but someone did. Barrel has been cut.

And the winner is.......................

It's so refreshing to see a GI pistol that wasn't ruined by over-zealous cleaning.

Here is my Colt woodsman 1st series, It is one of my favorites, It had some beat up and butchered plastic grips from a 2nd model on it when I got it. I found this set of checkered rosewood new made on the web.

Those are pretty grips Brian. A classic deserves that kind of treatment.

Like a maturing screen siren deserves a little soft lighting and filters, she's earned it.

586 Distinguished Combat Magnum 357Magnum.

This is my first centrefire handgun. I still have it. I do not carry it at work, but use it to represent the Department at inter service shoots. It had seen a lot of traffic when I bought it and I have fed over 80,000 rounds through it. I shoot mostly 38 service pistol (120power factor, well over). Still a tackdriver. One broken firing pin, locked up once with some old Remington Lead Bullet Factory ammo, boy that stuff was really motoring. Trigger job, jewelled action and a bit of wood shaved off grip to allow speedloaders access. Works a treat!
The 22is my wife's Browning Medallist. We bought this second hand in 1981 and it had been around the pistol club for twenty years then. It has been in regular target pistol use for over 45 years, still going strong. It hardly had any blue on it before I got it refinished a few years ago.

1934 heavy duty. 50 shots, 15 yards. Great trigger and lots of history. This is my "field gun" for routine working looking at the rocks.

 

[saaman]

The best-looking side of this old gun in .32 S&W long- the other side has rust spots. It is impressively accurate.

Here's my carry 1911. Hot humid Georgia days and body sweat have taken there toll on the finish.

It would still rate a strong 95% on GunsAmerica.com though.
