Even better when you know people with their own range.

Came in to do paperwork on this 1936 P08 yesterday when I heard Brits talking. Turns out some of the Red Arrows wanted to try the local culture! They were equally as enthused about this old thing and were quite happy when I let them shoot some rounds with it. Nice fellows through and through.

And then today I found this 1995 remake that looked to have barely ever been shot, with letters coming from the first, and maybe only, owner. Figured it’d make a good shooter so I don’t burn through the original. Now if only I could find a kydex holster for it lol

If you don't mind sharing a pic, I'd like to see how different it looks on the gun.

Somehow I only just noticed that my 229 Legion has the middle trigger and is adjustable for overtravel. Bought it maybe 5 years ago new and it's still the OEM stock trigger in there. But when I look on Sig's site and elsewhere it only shows the non-adjustable trigger like on the left, or aftermarket dual adjustable ones like ArmoryCraft and GreyGuns.

Never been carried. Bought it as a backup when I thought I lost my other 70.

$230 shipped.

Stopped by a local shop that I didn’t even know existed until today and they had these for ¢50/rd. Best deal I’ve found in a while so I had to stock up of course. I do see what appears to be a crack on one of them, but not sure if it’s just the paint or if the actual container is compromised. What do y’all think?

First time taking apart an Uberti. Thank god I picked up this 1873 rep for a steal, and with the intention to refinish it, otherwise I’d be livid. I feel sorry for whoever originally paid the retail price for it.

Inside of the frame is rough. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they had an apprentice take a dremel to it on his first day in an attempt to deburr/dehorn. Unfortunately even that’s not the case, as the there’s still actual burrs all over the tang and where the barrel threads in, and just about every edge seems sharp enough to cut you.

I was really hoping for better quality from a Beretta subsidiary. My original intent was to just redo the color case hardening, and maybe polish some internal surfaces, but it seems I’ll have to put even more time into this one.

The GunSmiff™ workshop is still in shambles, so forgive the mess. Found this Uberti 1873 .357 for $200 so figured I’d tune it up. Loader has been polished and widened to properly feed .38 and up next is proper color case hardening. I want to keep it classic but I’m really tempted to SBR this one too…

Not usually one to shitpost, but this is egregious. $700 markup, even after factoring in the Midwest stock, RPP screw, and quiver.

Made myself a silver spoon a few years ago when silver was cheaper to use for eating Ben & Jerry’s chocolate fudge brownie, and it’s held up quite well. Had a new nephew come along and figured I’d make one for him to commemorate the event. Hopefully when he’s old enough to eat his own ice cream with it it’ll be worth a lot more than it is now.

And yes, it does work noticeable better than a steel spoon as it conducts heat from your hand better and cuts into the ice cream quicker without getting stuck. If I had the money I’d make a gold one, but I don’t have $10-15k laying around like that, as these are just shy of 2oz.
