The #60 is best as can pocket carry. The 60 and 67 are gone in Black Friday deals. The pearl handle is still there, just that I don't need another .38 as I have several now. I wish I had bought the 60 though.
What did you see at the gun shop today?

I called the shop this am and asked why the person I talked to yesterday did not know a 7.65 is a .32 ACP after telling him what the guy told me. I got silence and then finally an apology, so it was him. He just did not know. I guess it is rather obscure info, not even printed on my box of .32 ACP, but a gun shop salesman should know this, especially since they had the very gun. If it were my gun shop, the tag would have said, "7.65 Browning (.32 ACP)."Saw a 7.65 Browning like the one below with the wood grips. I was interested and asked what is 7.65 (yeah, I should have known). The guy behind the counter said some odd size, wasn't sure it it is made anymore. Later I see it is .32 ACP. Kind of ticked. I probably would have bought it had I known. I looked at some other guns but this guy was rather aloof the whole time. Shouldn't he, working at a gun shop, know what 7.65 is? This is the same gun shop that has two would-be gunsmiths who demonstrated their incompetence to me once and will never get the opportunity again. Too bad because it is otherwise a good shop, often has some great deals on interesting guns and gives a full month free range pass when you buy any gun.
Anyway, what would a gun like that be worth? They want $595 and I would not pay over $450 for it.
I paid $300 walking away money for mine, but that was 15/20 years ago. I like mine, tiny sights, stiff trigger, shoots well, I like it, won't be getting rid of it.
Feeds fine, reasonably accurate, only gripe I read is the heavy trigger, but I find it manageable.

Dang that is nice! Those are very hard to find... Of course the only Glocks I like are gen 2 Glocks... I need to post a pic of my gen 2 21 when it shows up Saturday morning.

Those grips you have shown look a lot like a pair of Roger's Combat Grips. While they appear to be rather plain and drab looking their ergonomics are quite good, making the gun very comfortable to shoot. I tried them for awhile on my Model 638 but I felt they were a bit too long overall and I went back to the factory boot grips.

My brother had one of the Interarms marked Mauser HSc pistols and like your's it was nothing but a king-size pain to try to get it to even feed more then two consecutive rounds in a magazine!
Beautifully made...Abysmal performance!

Bit on a forlorned Colt .22 target style, 4" barrel from around 1995, been sitting on LGS shelf for years. Price drop. I bit. Stuck on layaway.
A colleague of mine has had one for years, really the only other sample ever seen personally. Supposed to have interchangeable mags with my Beretta NEOS, huge plus since they can be had for $20/ea still.

I'm about ready to jump on the TISAS bandwagon.
Slick little alloy-framed two-tone bobtailed Commander size 1911 and a great clone of the Colt M-45 (even though I loathe the thought of a rail on a 1911) that is growing on me (since I missed the boat when the M-45s, originally the USMC, were actually in stock and relatively affordable).
Washington has more heinous restrictions set to go in effect January 1, 2024 with permits to purchase and a training requirement to buy any firearm, so I'm looking to add some niche guns to the ars... accumulation.
Oh, and a new Ruglin (Marlin by Ruger) 1894 for just under a grand, but way better executed than the Remlins. Very nice furniture, almost reddish, good finish on the receiver and barrel. But then I'd have to buy the Anaconda in order to have a handgun in .44 Mag as well.
Colt's latest 1911 offerings look very, very well-done.
If I buy any more SIGs or HKs, gotta buy ones that take all the mags I already have, since we've been a ten-round max state for a while now.
All in all, my LGS has really improved its selection on handguns -- even had a Korth (by Nighthawk; if it'd been an original, I might've dropped the $4800 or whatever the ticket was).

The look much better than those abnormally long grips on that 37 I saw.Barmcd

I did. Here I am, a year and a half later, and it's the gun I take to the range every time I go. Turns out the pistol belonged to the LGS owner's Dad, who I know and highly respect; he's a retired Army CSM who spent 18 of his 25 years in Delta Force. When next I saw him after buying the pistol, he said he bought it new in 1985 and had only shot it a few times. I disassembled (field strip and removed firing pin) and thoroughly cleaned it and used a synthetic lube. It doesn't skip a beat once I picked out the ammo it likes, which is anything 1260 fps or faster. Slower than that and I get failures to eject. I put a fancier set of grips on it from Altamont.

I don’t know why, but I was drawn to some lever actions in .22 LR and .30-30.
I was actually checking prices on an AR, but those lever actions are sexy.

I like pistol caliber lever actions, 30-30 ammo is expensive and hard to find. 45 Colt or 44 Mag is just expensive!

Does GunBroker and my own house (father and son FFL) count?
Maritime spring cups for underwater operations!
And 6.6in lone wolf extended threaded barrel for testing suppressors. It was the exact same price (on Midway USA) as the normal threaded barrel so I got the extended one cause why not?

I was mistaken on the price, it is listed for $400, not $595. Might be worth another look at that price.

Just put it in lay away. Would have taken it home but did not have time to do the paperwork, so will have to go back another day. Here it is:

They also had this curious revolver, but the cylinder does not stop, can spin freely and only locks up, loosely, when the trigger is pulled. Pretty shabby IMO. I think it is partly broken. Also, according to my internet search it is a .32 S&W (not .32 S&W long but very short stubby cartridges). I wan't a top break revolver but will wait for something more interesting and better functioning. I fear this one will shave lead.

Mine has a tight chamber and likes premium ammo. It occasionally jams with the cheaper stuff.

Not today but last week. Shelves full of ammo and reloading components. The floor was full of ammoo on pallets. The racks and counter displays were full of guns. The prices were a little high but were competitive.

Excellent score! The 1922 Browning is a classic, and that was a good price.

Tenex, SV, Minimags.... didn't matter.
I have discovered something that may have been a factor. The M41 uses the same magazines as the M422. The very similiar 2206 mags are a tiny bit different because they redesigned the follower to accommodate an added magazine safety on the 3rd Gen gun. When attempting to use 2206 mags in a 422, it kinda sorta works, but jams will result.
Its possible that some of the magazines I was trying to use in the M41 were actually 2206 mags. The difference is almost undetectable unless you have them side-by-side.
Oh well, it was still a knuckle-biter. I don't miss it.

Didn't take any pics except for the one pic of the oddball old Winchester I picked up, but did see some intriguing used stuff in another place (Cabela's no less)
A Sig P226 for $495...in .40S&W- tempting still
TX22 for $199- I do need another
Citadel 1911 .22 $165-probably not bad
Remington model 12 .22 $1100- Holy Crap!!
