The internet isn’t 100% where I’m at so here’s yesterday and today’s guns. I will say the beach and the bathing beauties more then make up for it!

As many of you've seen I have a diverse collection of guns. (like most of us) I have a soft spot for vintage Target Pistols - three 1911s (one in .45 ACP and two in .38 Special wadcutter). I also have a few vintage wheel gun target revolvers; including these two: both are Colt Officer's Model 6" Heavy Barrel .38 Specials; first a 1936 vintage that I found in a Cabella's in Indiana. It came with Sanderson grips - one of two custom grip makers in the 30s-50s. It has an adjustable rear and front sight and a very nice DA and SA trigger pull:




The other revolver, came from another member of the ColtForum.com. It dates to 1940; is essentially the same model (Officer's Model 6" heavy barrel - 43,109 serial numbers newer). What sets this gun apart is that it has been modified by King's Gunsight Company (formerly of LA and San Francisco but the original company is out of business). The revolver is called a Colt-King Super Target with both front and rear adjustable sights, a ribbed sight rail, converted to single action only, and has a "mirror" installed on the rail to reflect light on the front sight. It also has a trigger shoe installed on it. (the mirror works - just looking at the sights in my living room the front sight is illuminated). It came with a set of ill fitting, probably handmade target stocks; which I've replaced by putting the Sandersons on it. Before I left the gun shop we checked the trigger pull - awesome; very smooth, consistently around 3.15#s.
