My dad rescued this old S&W out of my aunts trash can some years back. She was living in a retirement home & asked if he minded taking the trash out. When he asked why she didn't give it to any of her kids or grandkids she had no answer. Notice where the ivory had shrunk?
My LGS did it to me again. Went by at lunch since I had not been there in about 2 weeks and came home with a Ruger Vaquero from 1997 case coloring, 5.5" barrel in 45 Colt. Could not argue with the price they offered me.
They also had a mint anaconda with a ported barrel from 1997 also.
Here is the Vaquero and the Anaconda. If anyone is interested in the Anaconda, let me know and I can send you my LGS info.
Today was another blast from the past; my 1926 Colt Police Positive in 38S&W. It rides in an old Bucheimer holster.
It's kinda neat that I can still find ammo available for it without too much difficulty and I may bring it into the rotation of carry guns. It is remarkably reliable and accurate; classic vintage Colt. A hair too big for pocket carry but as nice as my DS and maybe slightly more accurate at medium distance.
