Grand Torino

Of course.....maybe.....well not really. Of all the handguns I have my favorite is an old beater Springfield full size 1911. It's well worn, rattles and generally looks a bit sorry. But for a 67 year old that has eyes to match I shoot the heck out of a fist sized target at 15 yards without effort. It's my favorite shooter by far. I carry an M&P .45 most of the time with a red dot and while it's very accurate and fun to shoot I still tote the Springfield around in the winter months from time to time.

I have a S&W model 53 in .22 Remington Jet....basically a centerfire .22 I inherited this from my Dad along with 4 boxes of ammo, 6 SS inserts for .22lr and the apparently very rare .22LR cyclinder that came with it. The box had a cut out for the cyclinder but I understand Smith used the same box to sell the ones without the cyclinder....just didn't punch out the hole.

Beautiful.....just frickin' beautiful.

Very nice.....I still love wheel guns....just don't carry them anymore.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha.......

I've read a couple of good reviews about that pistola. Good luck with it.

Nice work!

Sorry for your loss.....heart attacks are a tough thing to survive especially when it takes a long time to get to proper care. Prayers to you and his family.

Well here they are....my versions of a Karambit. First off is a matched pair or 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel. The have African Blackwood scales and SS pins. It's about 9 1/4" long with a 4 1/4" blade. It has a pattern etched into the blade but my picture taking apparently sticks cause it's a bit hard to see it. It has thumb and heel jimping and is a stout and dangerous blade. You can see some of the rock pattern ground into the spine as well. They come with black kydex sheaths. Note....there are some lines on a couple of pictures that are not on the blades. Next is a lighter pair made from 3/16" thick 1095 carbon steel with a different handle shape and Bubinga scales and mosaic pins. The over all grip is less that the previous set but still very good. It also has a pattern etched into the blade and slightly less rock pattern grinding on the spine. It does have thumb jimping on the spine as well. It is also 9 1/4" long but the blade is a bit longer at 4 3/4". It also comes with black kydex sheaths.

Welcome to TGO.

I've followed football my entire life until this year. I saw all those dipsticks sitting on their arses during the National Anthem and lost interest. It's their right but I'm not supporting it either. Haven't watched but a couple of minutes of football all season and find I survived just fine so I'll be doing something else when the Super Bowl comes on.

Welcome to TGO.

I drink 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and that's it for caffeine for me for the rest of the day.

Yeah I'm seeing the same thing....kinda odd.

Welcome to TGO.

That boy ain't right....

Prayers sent.....I'm confident you'll be fine.

First one has an OAL is 7 3/4" and the blade is 3 1/4". It's made from 1095 carbon steel with a satin finish and has SS pins and lanyard hole. The scales are made from Orange Agate and has thumb jimping on the spine and a 550 cord adjustable lanyard. Since these are small blades the 550 cord allows the little finger a little something extra to gab a hold of. This one is kind of a take off of the first knife. OAL is 8 1/4" and the blade is 4 1/4". It's made from 1095 carbon steel with a satin finish and has SS pins and lanyard hole. The scales are made from Wenge and has thumb jimping on the spine and a 550 cord adjustable lanyard.

Apparently I'm older than dirt...
