is that stainless auto a khar?

[Bman505]

Yes, Kahr PM9 or P9 I think. It belongs to CloudcroftDenise.

Lets see some of those gun collection pictures everyone!!!

[sinclair]

OK, but I am not a CCW person. My idea of a good pistol is one I can HUNT with and make a reasonable take down around 200 yards, less if in heavy brush, like 100 yards.

For heavy brush and reasonable 100 yard take downs, I prefer the T/C Contender in 30-30 but with spitzers, not flat point lever rifle bullets.

[sinclair]

For more open range shots, say 200 to 400 yards, its time to bring the bolt-action pistols out. The Remington XP-100 fits the bill and a tack driver caliber needs to match. The caliber is actually a wildcat based upon a trimmed and necked down 308. The caliber is designated 7mm BR Rem, since Remington will now make the brass for you.

Should I dare post recommended back-ups for such a hunt ?

[Colt 45]

This is my first "big gun", and first centerfire revolver. I got this around 1977. It has served me well. Believe it or not, I used this Colt for a carry revolver for a few months. It's not all that easy to conceal as you can imagine! The photo was taken around 1980.

[sinclair]

At last. Someone else is posting a handgun you can actually HUNT with. Open sights, 45 Cal, 250 grain, heavy brush 50-75 yards max attempt for clean take down.

Kudos to Colt 45.

Looks to be an early third generation, 7 1/2 inch barrel. You need a good color photo to show off what appears to be a color cased frame. Beautiful frame. Grips hard plastic or rubberized ?

[Colt 45]

Here you go. I'm sorry for the smudges, this picture has been around for a while. I'll either have to get it reprinted, or take another one. The grips are rubberized. I also have a second generation with a 5 1/2" barrel.

Nice picture.

[Jizzle]

you can hunt with my 10mm, I dunno how far out it reaches but, I can hit stationary shooting clays with open sights at 50 yards about 50% of the time. :)

[Colt 45]

If I were to hunt with a handgun, I would probably use a Smith & Wesson Model 29 (.44 Remington Magnum). Most likely, anyhow. I can shoot pretty good with that old .45 though.

Max

[Colt 45]

Thanks. I still have that leather rig, although it doesn't fit as well as it used to. I think it must have shrunk over the years. ;)

Max

Nice picture.

[sinclair]

you can hunt with my 10mm

Either that is an offer or it is an argument ? If an offer, post a picture to keep this thread as a visual one, and I will have a look. As an argument, we need a new thread. And as an argument, it will come down to opinion no matter what we base it on. I fault myself for drawing this thread off topic with my hunting comment on Colt 45's Colt 45. My original intent was to post handguns that are different from the typical self-defense stuff. My apology for sidetracking the thread away from the stated purpose.

So, Black Powder, anyone ?

http://www.concealcarrychat.com/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_0319.JPG

[Colt 45]

Yes, black powder! Ok, I'll see if I can take some pictures of mine. I haven't shot any of them in years. Maybe I'll have to do that too.

I love that Ruger!

I love that Ruger!

I figured you would. It shares many characteristics with your own Colt. 71/2 inch Barrel and specialty case finish (stainless in this case). Too bad that Ruger no longer makes the Old Army. I believe its one of the nicest looking guns Ruger ever made. These days, what with the ammo and reloading supply shortage, it appears that caps and Pyrodex are still plentyful so it may be a way to keep shooting until the pinch goes away.

[Colt 45]

Yes, I have been eying something like that for a long time. I'm pretty sure that when I got my cap 'n ball revolvers Ruger didn't have any offerings. Either that or I just was not aware of them.

You have a good point about the availability of black powder components. As a matter of fact, I still have a lot of supplies in stock. Several pounds of powder, balls and I think around 1,000 percussion caps.

I've never used Pyrodex, although I have heard some good things about it. I have always used black powder and something called "Black Canyon" or something to that effect.

[Jizzle]

naw no argument. just a statement. I have just recently put a 6in KKM barrel in my Glock 20 10mm. 4 port compensator and 3.5 lb trigger pull. I know people that use them for white tails and pigs. Mines a personal defense, but could double as a meat winner if needed. I don't have a recent photo, i'll throw one up soon. wife and I are still cameraless atm. shopping around for one.

[sinclair]

I have just recently put a 6in KKM barrel in my Glock 20 10mm.

I think Chuck would approve of the KKK Precision barrel mod, since he asked you about that in the "problems with Glocks" thread. What they (KKM) call "Button Rifling" should allow you to safely shoot lead.

If you ever needed to eat, you would do best I think with soft lead bullets of a hardness of 10-12. It expands better than hollow points and retains its mass enough to compensate for the low pistol velocity. Even so, I would limit it to 50 yards and heavy brush (Stalking). Not because of your shooting skills or the capability of the gun, but because self defense and putting meat on the table are as different as night and day. Hunting with a pistol that does not have "reach out and touch" capability means you have to stalk for position to get a sure kill. Any game under 100 yards has a high probability of failure because most hunters cannot stalk that close without spooking the target. To hunt with your pistol would require stalking skills way beyond your shooting skills, and almost always, you would get at best one shot. No "snap shots" allowed. Those are guaranteed misses in the usual surprise situation when hunting.

To get back on topic, I would not worry too much about a camera for your photos. You do not need much these days to post 50-60K size pictures. Even the lowest resolution cell phone cameras can do that. Assuming you are not a camera person, your first camera does not need a zillion accessories and capabilities. Buy the best, low frills bargain you can find. Learn with it what you really would like or need. And remember that the best camera out there is just like the least one. You drop it and its gone!

Those are beautiful reproductions. That is not an insult in any way, just a logical assumption. If you had originals in that pristine condition, you could retire on the museum quality value alone.

Tell us something about the guns to go with the photos, maybe even brag a little. A lot of folks out there know little about the classics. For example if the 51 Navy is a true reproduction, it will be .36 caliber. And if in Nickle, it would look like one of the twin 51 Navy's carried by Wild Bill Hickok, reference:

http://www.ahffirearms.com/products/HICKOKREVOLVER.asp

I am curious about the second cylinder for the 60 Army. I also love the horseshoe mounts for the shotgun. And the possibility of a high humidity A/C vent right over the shotgun lockwork makes me shudder. Hope you keep it well oiled there.

[Colt 45]

No insult taken. They are actually Colt re-issue revolvers. I believe they were made by Uberti of Italy, and sent to Colt for finishing. The serial numbering picks up where they left off with the originals.

Yes, the 51 Navy is .36 caliber, and the 1860 is .44 caliber. The extra cylinder was included in the set. It is a fluted cylinder. Also included (maybe I paid extra I don't remember) is a box with a powder flask, bullet mold and a caps tin.

The '51 Navy as you know was very popular in its day, very well balanced.

I also have a matched pair of 1860 Armys in a commemorative set. It is the U.S. Calvary Set that came out They are essentially the same, but are cut for a butt stock which is included.

The Remington-style like you have was considered to have a stronger frame, thanks in part to the top-strap. They are nice, but I think that I would prefer having one like yours that is stainless steel and has the top-strap. I think the patent for the top-strap expired in 1871, when the Single Action Army was introduced.

Good catch with the shotgun. I had hung it there and took a few pictures, then decided like you that I didn't like the proximity of the vent and moved it.

I think there is a bit more to the story than that. Here is the history of the Colt re-issue production:

http://www.gunsandammomag.com/cs/Satellite/IMO_GA/Story_C/Cap+%2526+Ball+Resurrection

The early issues were shipped in "black boxes" and those have already become collectors items, as have the commemorative issues. The most prized of the lot would be the 1200 1860 Army's that were done in stainless steel.

Page two covers serial numbers. Have a look, I think you will be pleased to note that your own are becomming collectors as well, which means you can't shoot them anymore. Don't you hate when that happens ?

[Colt 45]

Wow, and I swore I would never buy another gun that I couldn't shoot!

I wish I had know about the stainless steel 1860 Armys. I think I would have bought one. Back then we didn't have the Internet where we could get all this good information with a few keystrokes.

Thanks for the article. I learned a lot from it. I remember when I was in the market that I was told the story of how these reissues were made on the same tooling as the originals. I later learned that it wasn't true.

I had plans to also get some of the Dragoons, but never did. I wish now that I had.

At the risk of getting a little off-topic, have you read General Custer's book "My Life On The Plains"? Wild Bill worked for Custer for a time as a scout. Custer went into detail of his admiration for Hickok and his skill as a "pistoleer". He talked of how he could keep a tin can in the air shooting it with both hands.

Always a risk, but within reason I have found a little discussion related to the firearms posted is usually of interest to many and there is no real way to post good gun photos without some discussion related to them. Kinda like a picture comentary kind of thing. I have read some of the things that are in that book, but not the book itself. Custer never really wrote a book, it is more a composite of some articles he did write and a collection of letters he wrote to his wife. As I understand the intent of the book, it talks to the indian wars in the 1866-69 era. My own interest in reading it would be to get a feel for his character prior to the Little Big Horn battle, which has never been portrayed accurately, I think.

Now there (Custer's Last Stand) is a discussion that would go drastically off topic, and probably not even fit anywhere on this forum. But to get us back closer to topic, you mentioned the Dragoons. There may be someone out there who has one and may post us a good look. Just so everyone understands what we are looking at, and to relate to the nature of this forum, I will give my own opinion as to the guns and the era we have been looking at.

1847 Colt Walker, powerful for its day but not very popular. It was big and heavy, too much so for the Open Carry folks. Disadvantages were the loading lever spring would drop under recoil and lock the revolver action. Under full loads of 60 grains of BP, the cylinder had a tendency to explode. Modern reproductions are supposed to be stronger. Ballistically, it would be fairly close to a modern day 357 magnum with 4 inch barrel..

1848 Colt Dragoon was introduced to correct the flaws of the Walker. A loading lever latch properly retained the loading lever under recoil, and the cylinder was reduced to a maximum load of 50 grains of BP to address the exploding cylinder problem of the Walker. It was thus more popular, but in the full size variants, not much lighter or shorter than the Walker. Ballistically, the full size Dragoons would be somewhere around a 38 special + P . (141 grain round ball at 1100 fps.)

1851 Navy was one of the most popular guns of the west and arguably Colt made their reputation on this gun. It was light enough for open carry, usually in double holster rigs, and rather accurate for a black powder pistol. Ballistically equivalent to a modern 380 auto. (86 grains at 1000 fps.)

1860 Army was based upon modifying the light Navy frame for the larger 44 caliber, with ballistics very close to the modern 38 special.

The competition:

1858 Remington, as earlier mentioned by Colt 45 is a stronger framed revolver than the Colt's. It is ballistically very similiar to the 1860 Army. But it had innovations which made it a true competitor to the colts. The second and later series had slots machined in the cylinder to allow the hammer to safely rest between capped cylinders. It was an incredible change in loading time. An extra loaded cylinder could be inserted in under 12 seconds, whereas the colts required dissassembly of the pistol to accomplish this. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody carried the revolver in original percussion form well into the cartridge era, and never converted it to cartridge use. Remington Arms Company proudly displays this historic revolver with Cody's simple handwritten note, "It never failed me".

Thats a thumbnail of the true classics. Yeah, I left out the Patterson's, the Whitneys, and etc. Colt 45 has posted his Colt re-issues of the Navy and Army. I have posted the Ruger version of the 1858 Remington. Anyone else out there want to show us your own part of history ? Otherwise, I guess its back to the modern era of firearms that don't stink of sulfur and black powder.

"My Life On The Plains" (http://www.kancoll.org/books/custerg/).

[Colt 45]

And I don't know if the big Dragoons were meant to be carry guns -- they were called "horse pistols" carried on the horse similar to how carbines were, except in holsters near the horn.

My turn to say thanks for the link. Been reading Custer most of the evening. Fascinating. Don't sound like the arrogant ignoramus he has sometimes been portrayed as. Too bad there is not an appropriate topic area on the board to discuss this further.

As for the Dragoons, you are quite correct. They were originally designed to fullfill an Army requirement for the US Mounted Rifle Soldiers (Also known as "Dragoons" which is French for "Dragons".)

Most full sized versions had cylinder markings of "U.S. DRAGOONS" or "MODEL U.S.M.R.", or an Indian War battle scene.

However, when the shorter variants and smaller caliber variants were made, these did become carry guns.

I would post a picture but I do not own one and I think we have been true to the thread so far by only posting photos from our own resources.

[sinclair]

Can't tell from the angle if that H&R is the ribbed or non-ribbed model ?

That 1911 Springfield is really an eye catcher. What kind of grips are those ?

How does the Ruger LCP fit your hand ? Looks like room for only two fingers.

And always like the 10/22's

[AGust82]

The H&R is non ribbed. It's the 18.5" barrel HD setup. I recently bought a rifled long barrel with rifle sights for it but I haven't been out to try her out yet.
I really like the 1911 too. I was in the shop looking for something else and it caught my eye and stole the show. Those are Hogue wrap-around grips, they make the gun considerably thicker and a joy to shoot.
The finger extension on the LCP mag give my pinky a spot to cradle under it and actually feels pretty comfortable. The sights are almost non existent and it's a hand hammerer but I try to fire a few mags through it every time I go shooting since I do carry it a lot.

http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp217/agust82/P1020531.jpg

[sinclair]

I presume your intent for a rifled barrel is to hunt ? I have an acquaintance who has taken a mule deer with a slug. He practiced a lot before-hand. And he also said he had some luck as the slug really starts dropping quick. I figured those 1911 grips would be great. I would love to shoot one with that grip set up. My compliments on the LCP photos. Excellent way to show the scale and the grip situation. I held one not long ago and did not feel comfortable with my pinkie under the mag well. Many do, some don't. But it is a good way to illustrate the importance of grip and what you feel comfortable with. Likewise for the Glocks. I love the trigger safety but they do not feel comfortable in my hand.

As a big fan of Ruger's, I really did consider the LCP seriously, even though I have a reloader's dislike for super-short barrels. I ended up selecting the Bersa Thunder over the LCP (similar price range at the time). The Bersa felt right in my hand, plus I really liked their safety mechanism. It also weighs twice as much as the LCP and has about an inch longer barrel.

On that topic, you are aware of the LCP Ruger recall ? All LCP's with serial # prefix 370 need the hammer mechanism replaced. All prefix 371 or those with a small diamond stamped in the flat under the hammer are good to go.

You did such a great job showing the LCP grip, I hope you don't mind if I copy it ? I do not feel confident in my grip when using your hand position. I just need all my pinkies on the gun, thus:

http://www.concealcarrychat.com/gallery/data/500/medium/bersa380.JPG

[AGust82]

The Bersa is a nice little piece and I've considered it many times but the LCP's size fit a very important role for me. I'm an electrician and wear a fairly cumbersome tool belt 8 hrs a day so I needed an absolutely pocket sized gun in a real caliber for the work day. There's no IWB carry with a tool belt on. Mine has already been in for the recall, thanks though.
I'm not much of a hunter but yes the barrel is just in case I want to someday. I've got a few friends who pheasant hunt who have invited me, maybe I'll go now that I've got a suitable weapon.

[sinclair]

Have not looked here for awhile. I had forgotten about AGust82's really nice Ruger 10/22, Now there is a nice little firearm that can be customized more than just about any other on the market. I decided to go for something really
unusual to put a bit of spark in my 22 caliber shooting. (You got to be in a wacky mind set to do this to a perfectly good Ruger. Plus it took more machine work than I care for but I got there.) So how about a before and after photo.

Again, love the snake panels on the 1911s. Just wondering if you've got any rifles in that collection of yours? I may have to start a rifle picture thread on here.

Nope, Not a single rifle, but i am looking for a nice O/U shotgun. About time to get back to shooting some sporting clays..
