FINALLY got up and picked it up today....
1969 Colt Python, 2 1/2" barrel. Damn raffle tickets.....
And, yeah - real old-school ivory.

My posts don't count....
But wrap it in black plastic first....
Picked up this crusty Japanese Type 38 the other day. Despite its outside appearance the bore is actually pretty decent. A bit earlier of a serial on this one, dates to roughly 1917 or so.
Already managed to find a handguard to make her whole again. Should make a fine shooter. Love me some 6.5x50mm

Gun Show here in Fulton today.....
No.5
Import (CAI), dark bore but strong rifling, no cracks in the stock, non matching. No pitting or rust....$500 cash and carry/no paper work/tax.....will clean up reasonably well....
edit.......while cleaning, the receiver, stock and magazine are matching...bolt is not serialized......the bore was dark from being slathered in grease (along with the rifle under the stock, the receiver and the magazine was filled with grease.......bore is bright after a good cleaning....doesn't look like it has been shot since importation.....I don't think CAI has imported any No 5's in the last few years that I know of.......so I'm thinking it is an older import that sat in someone's safe.....will try to clean the stock up later.......no cracks were found in the stock or forearm which is nice........

What did you give for it if I may ask? Looks exactly like mine did before I cerakoted it.

First to know - Last to care!
Glock 21C, because one can never have enough pistols in .45 ACP!
Very nice.

I should put this in the perfect 38/357 thread. S&W Model 19-3 courtesy of a forum member.

Nice! The thumb safety delete is a deal breaker around these parts though. Are they offered with one?
Unfortunately, I don’t believe they make a version of the 509 tactical with a manual safety. The closest thing would be the FNX 9 but that’s hammer fired instead of striker fired if I’m not mistaken.
