Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Custom, odd, rare, or interesting handguns

Hello Kevin, this is a great thread, lots of rare
and very interesting pistols! Here's my contribution: this Colt Navy pistol was used in the Civil War
by one of my ancestors. It's on my list to eventually
be restored to some degree, it's missing the barrel wedge
so that will have to be machined or
obtained from some other source.
Does anybody have a referral on restorations for Colt Navy's??

This was in the museum of arms in Buenos Aires

Tonight I nearly had to buy a German market
Browning GP Competition.

Hello Kevin
Being that I am a S&W Target sighted revolver collector one that had always' eluded me was the S&W K-32 Masterpiece. I looked for 30 Years before finding one. I had to swap Two revolver's to get this K-32 but it was well worth it to me. I swapped off a 1967 Dayton Outdoor Sport's revolver that I had that was in Nickel finish and chambered in.38 Special caliber. It was the Only Model stamped 14-2 to have come with a 4" Barrel. It's barel was of Heavy design and these Dayton Hanen Special gun's were offered by The Dayton Outdoor Sport's Corperation of Dayton Ohio who were at that time a Large S&W stocking dealer. They only made 2050 of these in the Three Year span that they were offered from 1965-1968 time span. I also had to swap a S&W Model 34-1 Kit Gun chambered in .22 LR caliber I had $300.00 in the Dayton Hanen special revolver and $350 in The S&W Model 34-1 snub nosed J-frame Kit revolver chambered in .22 LR caliber. I finally found a K-32 and this one is a Pre-16 Five screw revolver that left the factory in April 1951. I shoot this gun a lot and enjoy it's supreme accuracy. I am Into it for an actual cash Value of $650.00 which is a Far cry of what their current Market value is of $2500.00 if you can Locate one, that is Good luck as they do not come up often for sale. Regards, ThGeneral


















As I Mentioned I shoot my K-32 Often so this Original set of Walter Roper Custom Shooting stock's are very comforable on it.
