Thanks. Over at the DW forum members submit photos for the annual calender contest. That was an entry of mine this year. Kind of a fun thing to do and hone your photography skills at the same time.stonebuster
Great photo of a sweet looking Dan Wesson!
Yours looks great compared to mine. I have all kinds of bare alum on mine. I dont love it any less. Before I knew any better I shot a few cylinders full of +P's through it but it is still nice and tight for a 60+ year old gun. I disgraced mine with pachmayr's in place of the checkered walnut for my gorilla hands. I remember walking down my dirt road years back where I used to live and my neighbor a few houses down spotted it in my OWB holster I was wearing at the time. He said "dont tell me you have a colt cobra". Aparently he had been hunting for one for years.As nice as this one is, it is fortunately not pristine. It has bare metal showing through the anodizing in a few small spots. There’s a rub mark on a few parts of the cylinder. The hammer already has a patina tan where the past owners thumbs touched it.
Basically it’s a very nice condition shooter and at least it will be shot as often as any of my other revolvers.
Carry is a different can of worms. I’m sure I will put it on for special occasions as long as the weather won’t include excess humidity, but generally I’m not going to risk the loss or damage to a gun that my Rossi .38 or my Enfield would be 90% the functional equal to.
What’s that top image and how much do you want for it?Here are some of my favorite pics. I'm not much of a photographer so the good ones are few and far between. Some of these guns I still own, some I don't, if the new owners see the pics, I hope they don't mind!
