Must be the week for leverguns, just traded for this one today, a Rossi 92 in .45 Colt. Will match up well with a Vaquero in the same cartridge.
I know I am not the only one with a "box of holsters" and today it paid off. While digging through one of the boxes I found a holster to fit my Luger!
LOL on box of holsters. In 29 years of "on the job" I have accumulated several boxes of holsters. It feeds the addiction of when out looking for guns. You know, hey I need to pick that up because I have a holster at the house that will fit it.
Nice assortment.I'm more of a semi-auto guy, but I've got a soft spot for revolvers. Small, medium, large, and extra smoky! View attachment 163325
I love old revolvers and these are great.Yikes, I gotta slow down. I wound up doing some more swapping and wound up with a totally sad little mud puppy Colt Pocket Positive in .32 Colt Police. The poor little gun had been bounced around quite a bit, grips broken, held on by electrical tape and had not been cleaned or oiled in decades! Had to work like the dickens to get the fossilized tape off the backstrap, then a serious cleaning and lubing. A still very smooth action under all the crud! Found some NOS Jay Scott grips for it too. The other gun was a very clean Colt New Service from 1933, a .45ACP warhorse. It just needed a little TLC and it was ready to go. Will hit the range with them Monday.
Oh no, I am just seeing this Bowen. I was wondering about Bob. I hadn't seen him posting. Thanks for letting us know. God bless him and his family.Just to let you gun guys know.
RJR or Bob, our gun and hat friend left us about a month or so ago.
He will be missed.
I would rank them in caliber order:Oh, let me get your opinions on this. I am doing a Zoot Shooting blog and will be discussing the different cartridges available for the sport. I will be putting comparison pics in this, using a .45 ACP and .38 Special rounds for the comparisons. do either of the following pics have a real advantage or disadvantage over the way of showing them?
