That's a fine commentary on women from a guy with a handle of Blue Duck LOL. How did that jump out the window go by the way?


Every level he passed on the way down, he thought "So good so far!"

I always thought the Mauser Hsc was a pretty neat looking pistol. I have only seen a couple in the wild and unfortunately one was during a domestic back in the 90s that I responded to, that went sideways and got bloody. Cool guns though.

How about a stunner of an original 5" Model 29.

This does not belong to me. It is Ken Hackathorn's.

Crappy phone pic, but we were on the range, shooting.

the 6.5" M29 is a classic beauty in my opinion:

Hard to beat a 5” Model 29 !!!

Colt Single Action Army for me has always been # 1
Colt 1911 # 2
S&W N Frame 29 # 3
Browning Hi-Power in High Polish Blue would be # 4

Skeeter always thought the 5" barrel was the best balanced of all the N frame bbl lengths.

Screw the balance and the barrel length, look at those stocks. Holy cow!

I know it's stainless, but the '89 model of the 627, 5 inch has always gotten my attention. Too bad S&W didn't make that in a deep blue finish.
I am blessed to own a 6.5" 29.......always fun just to look at and admire.A 5 inch 27-2 has always had a high cool factor.
