My Colt Python. I bought it the first week out of the Navy in 1966. $165. in Billings. Only handgun I can hit what I aim at.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

A beat up old Marlin .30-30 that belonged to my Grandpa. He gave it to me when I turned 12. It is easily my most prized possession. It has taken at least one deer per year, for many years. It gets the starting spot in the rotation.

Colt SAA "Frontier Six Shooter" in 44-40, manufactured in 1882. That's pretty cool. Why is the finish mottled like that? I see a lot of old Colt SAA revolvers with lots of wear, but the wear pattern is usually fairly uniform all over the gun. Regardless, cool possession.

I see a lot of old Colt SAA revolvers with lots of wear, but the wear pattern is usually fairly uniform all over the gun. Regardless, cool possession. The finish would be described as "about 30% original nickel". The 60% that isn't nickel is where the nickel has flaked off of it. Old nickel plate wasn't usually that long-lived if it was used with black powder and that particular gun is well within the black powder era. If the nickel was all gone, many would call it a "nice, even patina". Others would say it's an old, brown gun. Anything beyond traces of original finish really adds dollars to old Colt single actions.

Ruger 44 Finger groove is a handy brush buster.

I have guns that belong to over a half dozen dead folk. Relatives, friends, hunting partners.
Only a 760 gets used, and I'm not a fan of them.
But I'm attached to all those guns, just goofing around with them makes me feel good and reminds me of good times with their owners.
Favorite is probably a 660 308. Brown Precision stock, done with my own three thumbs. 3x9 Vari-Xll in Talleys.
Had it since I was 19, 32 years ago. Most lethal gun I own.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Stevens Crackshot. It was my grandfather's gun when he was a boy. It was passed down to my father and then to me. I dont have any kids so it will go to one of my nephews some day.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
