If I have a “grail” handgun, that’s it.

Nice grips

They are Thai grips I purchased on Ebay

Webley & Scott .22 target pistol. Some had adjustable sights. Mine has no sights.

My uncle gave it to me when I was a little kid. He told me it was a dueling pistol. It wasn't until many years later I found out it was a common pistol in English shooting clubs.

That's super cool anyway.

Thanks.
I don't know what to do with it. The bore is worn- uncle gave me an insert that needs to be pressed in after machining. I have never shot it, although it works. I'd like to restore and shoot it but it's in pretty rough shape and they are somewhat rare so finding parts may be difficult.

It is likely to be accurate of the barrel is straight. There are no moving parts and it locks up tight.

I could restore it, leave it alone or go nuts and polish it and nickel plate or cerakote it. Originals in good shape have sold for $1000 at auction so it's not particularly valuable.

I bought this Rossi Plinker off gunbroker super cheap. I’ve never been lucky with used guns and this is no exception. It hit 4’ low at 10’. I took the rear sight off and when I reinstalled it it became adjustable. Now it is dead on accurate. The FF.L that did the transfer said he could sell it for double what I paid. I love it.

I never fell in love with the factory grip. Replacing it turned it into and entirely different feeling little gun and now I love it.

My one and only: H&R 939 “Steve McQueen”




Why the “Steve McQueen” reference?

I bought a custom made wood grip. Custom in this case does not equal good. With the custom grip the balance point and hand grip position was too low making the gun really unhandy to point and shoot. I put the original back on and never gave it a lot of thought afterwards. I don’t target shoot with it, I usually set it beside me on the porch waiting for a critter to show itself. The price does not dictate the quality of the gun. Except for the “Plinker” stamp it is well made and beautifully finished. One of the best bargains of my life

I bought a rubber one. It gives a high grip, has enough length for all your fingers,and makes the gun balance well. They did do an excellent job of finishing these little guns. I think the "Plinker" name probably had something to do with it not selling well enough to still be in production. If I had been charge of giving it a designation it certainly wouldn't have been"Plinker" as that denotes cheap and not particularly accurate, at least to me.
