Art? Ya want ART?? I submit the pre-war .357 with 3.5 inch barrel:

The newbie might have made a bad decision on what type of first gun to buy, but we don't have enough info to argue that he made a bad decision based on the price he paid. As the knowledgeable Tamara has pointed out, the prices on PPKs are all over the place, but mostly on the high side.--Leigh

S&W M41 stuff:

Of a silver color and shiny, but bling-bling qualified? I leave it up to the jury:

Ultraman's got more grips than I've got, and I've got enough to open my own store. Here's my J's--Centennials and Bodyguards.

I ditto Morgan's experience. First time I looked at that odd, dimpled ramp I thought "this will never work" but it works great. I wonder who came up with this configuration of feed ramp? I wonder if others will start using it?--Leigh

Sounds about right to me too. I was one of those ammo nuts for years, starting way back in the Lee Jurras/Super Vel era. I finally reached info overload about a year ago and now have gone back to basic "holes-is-holes" outlook.--Leigh

Standing Wolf, I think $150 is about what I paid for the M41 target grips. That price is in line with custom grips made by Fung. The standard, combat style grips are quite a bit less--in the $70-90 range--but still not cheap. I was going to put Nills on a SIG228 and 226, but I think they...

The first set of Nills I bought were for the S&W M41 target pistol. I really liked the workmanship and I've been buying more. They seem to look best with the German pistols. May try some revolver Nills next.--Leigh

Pocket favorites:

This thread had gotten me interested in my digital camera that I bought and immediately lost interest in. SIG239 and a one-off Harvey Draper (circa 1967).

Think I posted this pic once before on THR, but what the heck. Walther P5C and a Bauchop Witch.

I have never been a big 1911 fan, but a while back a bought one of the new Colt Commanders. I am pleasantly amazed each time I take it out and shoot it. It is as reliable as any pistol I've ever owned, and is very accurate. Saturday I took it to the range with a bag of mixed rounds I've been...

I bought 500 rounds of .45ACP and 500 rounds of 9mm when the stuff first came on the market. Had extraction problems in several SIGs and an HK compact, problems with both 9mm and .45ACP. The .45ACP also would not extract from a S&W M625 revolver I had, nor would the 9mm extract from a M940...

I haven't really kept up with the latest in 1911 style pistols. Is there any company making a reliable, sub 4" barrel version these days? What's the buzz on the Colt Defender? The Kimber Compact? I've always wanted a sub compact 1911 but have been scared off due to horror stories of...

Walther PP with Nill grips. Knife is a Fairbairn-Sykes 1st pattern repro made by NZ knives (in New Zealand, where else?). This knife was custom made for me, has the standard "The F-S Fighting Knife" logo etched on one side of blade, but instead of the Wilkinson logo on the other, it has my...

Had a 625 .45ACP with 5" (sold it), had a 625 .45ACP Mountain Gun (just recently sold it), but if I ran across one of these 3 inchers in a local store at that price I'd probably buy it.--Leigh

I bought this from a friend of mine about a year ago for $150. She said it had reliability problems. After I cleaned it (it had never been cleaned) it ran great. I added the new grips and the barrel weight. Besides the center position it's shown in, I can move the weight all the way...

Phantom Warrior, The knife is a Gerber Mk II. Al Mar designed it. The knife came out in 1966 and was popular with the troops during VN war. Not much usefulness as a field knife, but sure is hell for deadly.--Leigh
