I love gun researching. A buddy of mine from work showed me an old pistol that his Dad gave him. I took a bunch of pictures and looked it up. Turns out he has about $2000 dollars worth of classic on his hands:
It's a Colt DA .38

OMG Rice Chat?
WTF!
I also carry 1-2 of these mag holsters...

...with Wilson 47D Mags.
Very nice. The FED-212 is a thumb-break, unlined, used by some fed agencies. It’s so slick that I can break the snap-tab, draw and fire in under 1.5 secs. Both 212 and mag holsters are pressure-adjustable on 1911 and mags. I also have a 212 for my 2001 Gen 1 Glock 357 SIG. That model’s been replaced by the PLE, and I called all over the country to their large dealers to buy up 3 extras before they sold out stock on the FED-212.
I have mag carriers from Crossbreed and OldFaithfulHolsters.

One for my Springfield, and one for my Beretta.
I need to get one for my Kahr, though.
I’ve still got to work with my Wife on drawing and firing from her holster. She limp-wrists (Causing a failure to eject), and uses the 2nd joint of her trigger finger instead of her fingertip. We bought a Ruger 22/45 Lite for her to practice with.
I’m also having her learn to feel for the trigger reset so she’ll be more conscious of what’s happening with the weapons she fires. It’s helping a lot.
After she’s mastered it, THEN I’ll work with her on proper shot placement.
That’s a real nice starter for a youngster. I still have Grandpa’s (Dad’s Pop) 10ga break-action, which I shot at 8-9, and it knocked me on my ass. Shoulder was sore for a week. Blew the poor pigeon to smithereens, but Grandpa hunted daily with it during the Depression to put food on the family’s table.
No one can figure out what mfgr it is. There’s a logo emblem on the buttplate, but their and my research turns-up zilch.
Nice lookin’ holster.
And speed will come with good technique and practice, in due time.
And the Glock has one:
Old guns like that, there were lots of mfgrs out of business now.
If you get a chance take a pic of the emblem and post it but there should be some kind of mark on the barrel too.
Take the barrel off and look in the break area too.
Oh, now you’re just showin’ off...
;-)
I have no plans to visit New Joysey..
Working on it. Many thanks if you can help, RF!
No problem. I’m always up for some good gun porn!
Research. I meant research.
That Marlboro looks damn good too.
It’s been 8 months now since I quit smoking but the compulsion is still very strong at times.
Here's the x-ray:

First pic: Ohhhh!! NICE!
Second pic: Ohhh! OUCH!!!!!!
