And the one that's been taking up all my range, holster and dry fire time.

You just don’t know how to use one. If left handed hold with thumb down and rotate up with pointer finger.
Impervious, adapt, and overcome.:)
.............. See ? It's not discriminatory because they're ambidextrous..... Do they still make P-38's or are they now a relic from a bygone era? I'm getting to be a relic, also.
 
Our 17 year-old daughter Kathleen brandishing a mixed brace of .22 revolvers--- her late Granddad's much-used & loved Colt New Frontier
and our newly purchased Ruger Wrangler. Apart from the modern lockwork the new Ruger was a worthy companion to the genuine article and shot very well. At about 200 bucks they're a bargain! And next to "KT", as Granddad called her, is my sorry self.

OK , one more. A Ruger #1 in 22-250. This is a rifle I've owned for close to 50 years. I believe it has a 1-14 twist but haven't checked. What ever it's twist rate this thing is a laser with the first three 40 or 45 grain handloads it likes. .25 to.4 inches at 1oo yards and then the group begins to climb upwards just a little with each shot. It definately isn't a prariedog gun for extended shooting but it's like the Hammer of Thor for a few dogs or the occassional jackrabbit.

Memorabilia of WWI and WWII Era


Bayonets, starting top center and moving clockwise:

1) Original M1905 S A dated 1920 with an original M33 sheath marked USN Mk 1

2) M1905E1 made by UHF (Universal Fork & Hoe) dated 1942. UFH had a large number of 1905 forged blanks on hand when order came down to switch to M1 length. Decision was made to shorten blades on existing stock. Blade pictured is referred to as the “Bowie” or “Pakistan” style is shown with standard M7 sheath.

3) 3) M5 was adapted in 1953 and is shown w/standard issue M8 scabbard.





Directly above the M5 bayonet, left to right:

1) 5 round brass clip for US M1903 and M1917 contains rounds marked DN 42 (Denver 42)

2) J P SAUR & SOHN M1913 (2nd Variant) .32 ACP. Interesting history of this model @ https://unblinkingeye.com/Guns/S-S13-30/s-s13-30.html

3) 8 round M1 Garand clip contains cartridges marked LC 62 (Lake City 62)

4) S.E.A.M. copy of either “Baby Browning” or Walther Mod. 9, 25 ACP

This particular pistol was given to me by a friend, who bought & carried it as a USAAF C47 pilot when he flew missions “over the hump” in Burma in WWII.

5) 5 round brass clip for M1903 & M1917 contains rounds marked DM 42 (Des Moines 42)
