Mostly steel action. Our club had monthly shoots but there is also 3 gun and IDPA. Have not done those yet. I swap out on the steel action. Will use my 1911s one month and then switch to either a Springfield XDM or Walther 5 inch competition - both 9 mm. About 200 rounds for each match plus several practice sessions each month - I go through 600 to 800 rounds per month. That's why I reload. My real sport is high power rifle - National Match Competition.
Thought I would post another photo. Just received my new Edwin Jagger Chatsworth razor. Pictured with it are my two main carry firearms. Depending on the clothing I'm wearing, I carry one or the other. On the left is my Sig Sauer P938 in 9mm and on the right is my Springfield Range Officer Compact in 45 acp. I use an inside the waist band holster for the Sig and an outside the waist band holster for the Springfield. I don't always carry but I do keep one or the other in the car all the time. Having a carry permit helps in Washington State. Since the permit requires a complete FBI, with finger prints, background check, you can purchase a handgun and take it home the same day. Without one there is a waiting period. The cartridges shown are all reloads that I make.
This is the handgun that can generally be found on me or in my pickup wherever I go. It is small, reliable, foolproof, and relatively inexpensive should something happen to it. Ruger LCR in .357. MN is a "Shall Issue" state, and also allows same day purchase once your permit is issued. CC permits are good for five years, then classroom and range certification has to be repeated.
Nope - it blackened aluminum. A very nice pistol - easily shoots 3 inch groups at 7 yards. The front sight is fiber optic and is very bright during the day. Even though its fiber - it also glows at night as do the rear sights. I like it as it functions a lot like a 1911 - same style safety, take down, et cetera.
The Ruger LCR - great little firearm. I have one also in 38 + P. I didn't mention it before but I will carry my LCR as well - usually in a jacket pocket if I don't want to carry one of the other two. Although I have a number of semi autos - I'm really a revolver guy. If a round doesn't go off - then just pull the trigger again.
Nice! Do you know what year this pistol was made? I'm guessing pre-WWII for sure. Reminds me of my Browning Model 1922, with the grip safety curving out at the top vs the bottom on 1911's. I'll post a pic soon with one of my razors.
I have no idea how old the firearm is. My father gave it to me when I traveled across country the first time in 1982.
It looks like an original Browning Model 1910. The magazine release is on the heel rather than the pushbutton release it was changed to on the revised version, the Model 1955. It would look very much like @BamaT's 1922, because the 1922 was simply a 1910 fitted with a longer barrel and a rather clever slide extension nosepiece to cover it. That was done to allow Browning to submit the 1910 for military acceptance trials by a number of European countries immediately post-WW1 -- they were willing to look at small, light, handy and most especially cheap .32ACP semiauto pistols as secondary sidearms for officers and crew-served weapons operators in place of their existing expensive-to-manufacture revolvers but wanted at least a 4" barrel on them.
S&W 686 is probably the best revolver on the market. I have a couple - see below - big brother and little brother. Both in .357/38 spl and are the Pro Series with the flat sided barrel. The smaller is a J frame and only takes 5 rds. I threw the Fatboy in to make it Shave Den relevant.
New toy I just picked up she's so perfect sorry the timeless couldn't join in the pic I'm at work Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
No, but sounds like fun. (an 8 shot). The 657 was a 6 shot unit in .41 magnum https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/archive-model-657 Found it. You're looking for the TRR8 327. https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-model-327-trr8
The 627 is their 8 shot version. I would think it handles much like the 686 (7 shot), which I do own and enjoy shooting. Very accurate.
