It's Wheelgun Wednesday

How you like your pitbull 45acp?

I handled a stainless one the other day. They're asking 450 or around there.
 
Didn't leave the property today, but did quite a bit of weed-whacking and mowed front and back lawns. Sun was out all afternoon, in Western Washington, yay! The lightweight .38 SPL Colt Cobra (left) in a Galco Combat Master, is my current yardwork handgun.

It's funny how the Colt Cylinder release has reverted to the original 'L' shape instead of the rounded surface. Here's the cylinder release from my 1919 Improved New Service and the later Army Special, Police Positive and modern Detective Special.

I had a friend, back before Paranoia was the mindset, that forgot he had his on, and was passed by airport security. Wore it round trip. Some years later, another friend bought a brightly- colored plastic gun for his son, and was forced to abandon it before he boarded his flight. Things sure have changed, but not for the better! :(
