These threads about 1911s and Hi Powers have put me in a steel mood. How about some handsome all steel/aluminum pistols.

I’ll start. A Beretta 92 Langdon Centurion.

Very nice collection. With 25-9 you can be sure not to have one of those M25s that have the oversized chambermouths.

Lots of beautiful handguns here. I can show a few. I like S&W’s the best, but have other brands. They all get used but not as much as my SS handguns and none of them as much as Mr. Sagebrush’s Blackhawk. 😁😎

Yes. 5” 1848 6 shot in .31. It was made in 1862 and it came with an original military flap holster, so there’s a chance it could have been carried by a soldier in the Civil War. But just as likely it was carried by someone on the west coast since the majority of those tended to migrate west. If only it could talk.

We have photo hosting here. It's called Image Gallery. Post a picture there. Then hold the mouse over it and right click it. Then left click Open Link In New Tab. Then go to that new tab and cut and past the address in the address box. Then post that as an image in whatever thread you like.

I have the Uberti reproduction of it, but in .36 caliber with a five shot cylinder. In that caliber, it's called the Pocket Navy, because .36 caliber was thought of as the Navy caliber. Colt introduced it in .36 caliber some time in the early 1860s. Other than caliber, it's the same gun as the 1848. Better steel allowed that gun to be chambered in .36. The most powerful caliber they could get away with back in 1848 in that model was .31, due to the frames being made of wrought iron back then, instead of steel.

Very cool.

I really want to get a good reproduction 1858 Navy. My little 1849 just isn't up to the kind of shooting I want to do. And I think it deserves to be in semi-retirement (It gets shot about once a year).

Oh, you mean a Remington New Model Navy in .36? No one makes that reproduction. You can get guns called that, but they are actually the 1858 Army chambered in .36. The original Remington New Model Navy was a smaller gun in all proportions.

I began gathering a few steel and Titanium revolvers in 41 mag and 327 Fed about fifteen years ago.

But lately I have ventured in a new direction.

Top Left: Kimber Pro Carry II equipped with 22LR Target conversion. all aluminum

Top Right: 4 inch slide and 9mm barrel for Pro Carry.

Bottom Left: Kimber SS Target II in 38 Super

Bottom Center: 5 inch 10mm barrel and mags

Bottom Right: 5 inch 9mm barrel and mags

And this little Kimber Micro Nine in Aluminum and blued steel is in transit to join the little herd.

Nope different one.

This particular .357 Blackhawk was found at a show, pretty beat up. It did however have a set of extremely nice carved grips that now reside on my 44 Flattop 7.5" The gun wore a longer barrel as well. I had driven over to Boise to attend a gunshow with a friend who was also a friend of John Taffin and we all had breakfast at a cafe that morning before the show. I mentioned I was looking for a couple items for my Bhawk.

He invited me to his home after the show. Mr. Taffin as a gift gave me the shorter barrel and the grip frame that is on the gun, as it is shown. He then showed me how to swap frames. I now refer to it as my Taffin Gun.

While the outside looks quite rough, the bore and chambers are fine and it shoots straight.

Nope different one.

This particular .357 Blackhawk was found at a show, pretty beat up. It did however have a set of extremely nice carved grips that now reside on my 44 Flattop 7.5" The gun wore a longer barrel as well. I had driven over to Boise to attend a gunshow with a friend who was also a friend of John Taffin and we all had breakfast at a cafe that morning before the show. I mentioned I was looking for a couple items for my Bhawk.

He invited me to his home after the show. Mr. Taffin as a gift gave me the shorter barrel and the grip frame that is on the gun, as it is shown. He then showed me how to swap frames. I now refer to it as my Taffin Gun.

While the outside looks quite rough, the bore and chambers are fine and it shoots straight.




Now that's a cool story and pretty neat ol' gun.

The story turns out to be more surprising than anything one could imagine. I like to read the Taffin books and his articles.

The HK PSP, the predecessor of the P7M8 was issued to the German Military Police in the 1980s to the bodyguard units and the plaincloths men on their hunt for deserters. During my time in the staff service with the German MP I often visited a friend who was the armorer for our units and we were always impressed with the quality of the P7 compared to the aluminum framed Walther P when handling both guns in the armory.

That's a nicely set up 1911 (CCO makes a lot of sense), and their reputation is excellent. How much do they charge for that model?

I think 1918. but there's an "issue" with the serial, so I'm not certain.

Roughly around $1300 which in this age and considering the apparent quality, is quite a bargain.
Now to select a nice holster and shoot it, A lot!

You can’t go wrong with a Milt Sparks holster IMO for a 1911 or a quality revolver. How do you like it so far? I have a Dan Wesson A2 that I like a lot. It’s about as smooth to rack as any 1911 I’ve owned. The only thing wrong with it is it doesn’t say Colt on the slide.

That frame has since been equipped with various accuracy uppers from .22LR to .45ACP, a most satisfactory bargain purchase.

I love the 3rd gens. I'm assuming the top 2 are 4506 and 1006. Or are they just 4506 and 4506-1?

I've had a couple of S&W variants of the 59 (459s). Very reliable, other than the mag releases needing to be screwed back down every so often. The closest I have left to one now is my vintage Model 39-2.

It's been 100% reliable since I acquired it in November of last year. I did need to screw the mag release down as soon as I got it home from the pawn shop, though, as it was backed out a little. This must be a weakness in this design. I like it, though. Shoots well, and historically is very interesting, being the first US made, double action, semi-auto 9mm to be widely accepted by US police departments.

It's also historically interesting in that it was originally designed and manufactured by S&W in answer to the US Military's call for a replacement of the 1911A1 (They wanted to switch to 9mm to be in line with other NATO nations, and they wanted it to be a double action). It was designed and made to satisfy the requirements put forth by the US Military in these regards.

The only reason it wasn't adopted is that, while it was being designed and examples were being made, someone in the US Military figured out that we had enough 1911A1 spare parts to keep our 1911A1 pistols in service for at least another 30 years, so the plan to replace it was dropped for that, and only that, reason.

One wonders if we had adopted the Model 39 in the 1950s, would we have still adopted the Beretta 92 in the 1980s. I suspect not.

The top left one is a 1006, the top right is a 4506. The middle two are a 4006 and 5906, respectively.

The bottom three are the 3913, 4013, and 4516. The "3" on the end of the model number indicates the firearm has an alloy frame. The 4516 is my vehicle weapon. The 4506 is too big to fit in the compartment.

The two squared trigger guarded ones have an interesting history. The 5906 was my wife's uncle's first duty semi-auto (he was a long-time state trooper), replacing his Security Six .357 Magnum in 1989 (I have that firearm as well). Two years later, when the state police agency decided to replace the 9mm as duty issue with .40 S&W (from 1990-1992, law enforcement all over the country did that, because the FBI decided on the .40 shorty), and also allow troopers to carry .45s if they wanted to instead, he was issued the 4506.

He always elected to purchase his duty firearm instead of trading it in. They allowed Troopers to do that back then, don't know if they still do or not.

You can see the chronology of his career, starting with a 5" Colt Official Police issued in 1965 when he first graduated from the academy. That was replaced in 1973 by a 4" Blued Ruger Security Six. That was replaced in 1982 by a 4" SS Security Six. That was his last issue revolver, getting replaced by the 5906 is 1989.

He carried the 4506 until he retired in 1998 as a captain. If you look at the slide closely, you'll see it's shinier than the others (the 5906 a bit as well, but not as much difference). The blasting texture is worn off the slide from holstering and unholstering that firearm several thousand times.

Great collection. I was pretty sure about the 4006 and 5906, but the top row could have been either as I stated. Thanks for sharing your cool pistols and story about your wife's uncle with us..

I suspect that had the military adopted the Model 39, they would have replaced it with the 5906 in the late '80s/early '90s, because the 3rd Gens were just so much better in every way.

S&W wanted to participate in the trials that led to the adoption of the model 92, but the 5906 wasn't ready yet. When the Beretta was chosen over the Sig, Sig protested the process, alleging it violated DoD guidelines. Their challenge was tossed in court. If it had been successful, new trials would have been held, and the 5906 was ready for participation by then. I don't know if it would have beaten out the Sig or not, we all know how solid Sigs are.

I think the Beretta won the initial trial because it just looked more modern and cool.....

I've never had an issue with it, and I've fired hundreds of rounds through all of mine.

I know of one large department that put over 15,000 rounds through a 4006 that they kept on hand for ammo testing and such during the nine years that it was their standard issue sidearm. Other than springs and the guide rod, no other parts were replaced.

Well, I owned two Second Gen 59s and currently own one First Gen 39, and this problem was evident in all three. Under recoil, the mag release unscrews itself and requires screwing back in. I guess by the 3rd Gen, they resolved this issue.

"Super" Close!

It is a 1902 Military Model .38 Colt. It has been in my family for many generations and has quite a history.

When you physically examine it you can see how it is the precursor to the 1911. Quite a cool piece of history.

I've got one of his, too. The one on the left is a Hibben Cody Bowie. I had a South Korean knife sharpening specialist (that's all this guy does for a living) put a razor edge on it.

The one on the right is a Case. The same guy put a razor edge on it, too.

I like that Case, what type of handle is on it. I send all my knives to these guys for sharpening, they do a hell of a job and at a reasonable price, even fixed the broken tip on a couple of them.
