Show us your Guns!
A while back I brought a very sad little mud puppy home. A S&W Victory model that had it's barrel cut down, cylinder bored so .38 Specials will fit but was originally .38 S&W and then had the indignity of having something electro-penciled onto it's frame. So i have decided it's gonna have some...- DeaconKC

Wound up getting some "wallhanger" guns for a display. Turns out only one is a non-gun, the other two just needed some TLC to operate again. Don't know if they will go into a shadowbox with the other one. The non gun is the percussion one at the top.- DeaconKC

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
Bill, stand tall! Nice compliments from the folks there. I got a couple of comments last night at Church [I had sheepdog duty] from a couple of the ladies on my Western/Aussie style hat. Even [especially?] in the rain, a nice hat still looks good. -

Well scored a couple of nice finds. First, a 1918 holster that was still in good shape and affordable [!] for my 1917 Colt 1911. Then picked up an ATI Commander in .45 ACP, decided to dress it up a bit with some nicer grips.- DeaconKC

BATTER UP!
This was posted on another forum, but it seems appropriate and well said.: And that's all before tucking his necklace back into his shirt, tapping the plate with his bat 3 times, tapping of to the far and near side of the plate once each, re-adjusting his helmet...just before holding...- DeaconKC

BATTER UP!
Well, I too, still hate the ghost runner. Larger bases? Stealing bases is one of the most exciting aspects of the game, so if it encourages that, I kinda like it. Keep the size of the base gloves down, no "oven mitts". Pitch clock? I think it will do more to control the batters who were...- DeaconKC

What do you use to shave?
I am now ordering the basic Van der Hagen pucks, they lather quicker than the Williams did, and have a very mild aroma and deliver a rich lather.- DeaconKC

Will do Yahoody. Also, discovered it was a .38 S&W and the cylinder has been cut for .38 Special. Glad I reload .38 S&W. Thinking since it has already been taken from collector interest that the lanyard loop may go onto another S&W that needs it to get back to proper condition.- DeaconKC

Well, with all the beautiful guns posted here, I am gonna post a little mud puppy. It's a S&W Victory in 38 Special, it's been bobbed off to 2" and looks like someone did the electric pencil name or number on the side of the frame then ground it off! Well, I'm gonna try to at least smooth that...- DeaconKC
