I finally found the 1956 Colt Trooper. From what I understand it was issued to Birmingham Alabama P.D.
Another fav, a George Smith (EGW) built comander
OK! I'll post a couple of them, all my pics. Did I mention I'm a photographer?:

First time shooting my pistols in Covid era.. I think I last shot in Feb or March. My hands are fatigued...going from shooting handguns 2 or 3 times a week to zero for months is brutal. Pistol handling is definitely a perishable skill.
I brought out the Les Baer, G19, and Model 41. After shooting, I cleaned them all and put them back into hibernation, lol.
People always ask about the red dot Glock....but I always say my 1911s are my most accurate guns by far. The Les Baer is the king of the roost in my small 1911 stable.

OK you win
@JAS-SH - looks like your camera lenses use Schott glass
Thanks, but not quite all of them. My digital SLR system is all Nikon - Japanese glass. This one below uses Schott glass:
My 4x5 film system. An Ebony camera in Honduran mahogany and all titanium metal parts. All the lenses on this one are Schott glass APOs
.This other "lens" uses Russian glass. The Russians make outstanding glass (got that know how from the West Germans). Should see the images I make with this one!:
And I better post a handgun pic to keep the post on topic!
A Glock 27 converted to .357 SIG caliber:
Thanks again!

My newest (and sexiest) handguns. Owned a West German P220 a couple years ago and wasn't impressed, but I had always heard about how nice CZs are to shoot. I can't disagree one bit.
Drooling here! In my bucket list!!
Beautiful pics!

Another poster in the pit made a thread about spotting satellites......perhaps some high res color of Musks space Tesla?
Really liking the xl over the standard 365. Found a 507k in stock and am getting used to a carry piece with RDS.
The only thing Miller Light is good for. Glock fowdy 10mm
OK Then. Here you go. These images take about 8 hours of exposure, usually over multiple nights, and then a ton of hours of processing.
Enjoy!

Very Dutch Master....
I shoot more striker guns with no safety. Ive trained with them.
I often carry a 1911. I shoot these very static and I think thats a failing on my part.
Next week I have a class and I am interested to see how it goes safety wise.
Is weird though I have shot the 1911 enough that once it goes in hand brain says "Safety".
Ill see if that works under "stress".
My bigger concern is reapplying the safety when holstering.
I’m a fan of thumb safeties, especially on striker guns going in and out of a holster. I also find that I shoot them a lot better one handed with my thumb on the safety. I think it’s the pressure I put on it tends to firm my grip from movement as I pull the trigger.
Nothing crazy but two of my favorite range blasters. Hillariously, I've more malfunctions with my USP (6) than my STI (3) over 2-3k rounds. Both have been phenomenal for my uses. However, I found after carrying the sti in a carbine class that every beadblasted part on that gun will rust almost instantly. So, I got to spend some quality time attacking it with a scouring pad.
Another one for you all. I was surprised how the recoil on this thing is so stout with the Grizzly loads. It's a really quick, sharp pulse - even makes my hand hurt. And I've never had that happen not even with the big revolver cartridges out now on the big scoped revolvers. I think the Redhawk is just a lot lighter and so a lot more recoil. I carry this when hog hunting in our palmetto scrub low country and when I do photography in high country bear woods.

Do you have any level 1/3 Safariland holsters (ALS/SLS) that fit your P10? I hear they will fit similar sized Glock holsters.

No sir all my holsters are either for concealment or for sport, so their only retention is molding.
Gottcha. Reason I ask is that my level 2 retention holster from Red Hill Tactical was slow in releasing the retention at a training event this week, I think due sub freezing temps mixed with fine rain. Going to test it against a Safariland I have this weekend. May or may not need to find a Safariland assuming it wins the testing. As much as I love carrying my Shadow 2 on duty, I'm not betting my life on a holster that will not reliably deactivate when needed.
So far I'm looking at a P320 XFull, G17, or a Staccato P for Safariland retention holster if my RHT chokes during testing.

I'll see if I can post testing results. Going to chill the holsters, spray them with water mist, and put them on a shot timer.

6365RDS ALS®/SLS Low-Ride, Level III Retention™ Duty Holster
The 6365RDS holster is specifically designed for firearms with red dot sights mounted to them. This holster with the Automatic Locking System (ALS®) builds on the foundation of the Self Locking System (SLS). It locks the weapon in all directions upon holstering, it's operable with the thumb, and...

I'm sure it would be fun to shoot with "normal" .45 Colt loads. With the stout Grizzly loads, it is something for carrying a lot "just in case".Another one for you all.

Well, good news, my CZ S2 holsters from RHT performed flawlessly in my freezing test. Froze the holsters overnight with water droplets to mimic freezing rain. Took them out of freezer, and sprayed them down with more water. Retention on both RHT and the one ALS Safariland holster deactivated as designed. Seems like it just needed to break in. No need to buy another Safariland specific handgun.
On the other hand, I don’t have a justifiable reason to buy another handgun!
