Recently got this S&W Model 1955, 25-2. In .45acp, put 150 rounds through it yesterday and an absolute joy to shoot.

Top right corner: High Standard 9-shot .22 revolver! I had one of the newer versions, the HS Camp Gun in .22 Mag. Dollar-for-dollar, probably the best-shooting revolver I’ve ever owned. The thing was as accurate as the day is long and it had an amazing single-action trigger pull - crisp, almost no over-travel. I loved that thing!
For better or worse, my younger son liked the thing about as much as I did. Kept asking me to sell it to him, or at least leave it to him in my will. Finally, some years back, after he’d had it ‘borrowed’ for quite some time, he had asked if I needed it back. I simply told him to keep it! Christmas had come early for him that year!

I have a Sig P220 Dark Elite 45 but I feared it wasn't very good for self defense so I had to get the 9mm since my 45 can't blow out a lung like the 9mm does.....
I started competing in USPSA at your age. I would encourage you to give it an honest try.
It's a shitload more fun than blasting at the indoor range and, if you approach the sport the right way, it will drive your handgun skills to levels you never thought you could achieve.
When I get both knees and right shoulder replaced I am certainly wanting to give it a try.
$610 out the door at coastal Farms. Not an outstanding deal but then again not bad.
My summertime EDC kit: 9mm S&W M&P EZ, Streamlight ProTac, Buck 110 Lite. Pistol usually rides in the DeSantis IWB holster with a spare mag, appendix-carry. Nothing special, nothing custom! Just good solid kit!

Pretty pleased with how this turned out for an EDCC. The Vickers Tactical Trigger and polishing the internals made the biggest difference.

Flew back home to rescue my can from jail, found a nice find in the used cabinet while out hanging with my family.
After 9 months of waiting, my Les Baer made it in (just a Concept III with a couple options).
Pardon the crappy cell phone pic.
Rounds 1-7 through it at 15 yards. I wish I could say that I'm going to get better with it, but this is about as good as I can do. I've got a total of 50 through the pistol now, so a lot more practice before it's broken in.
Of note: Mine came with Tripp Research Cobra Mags. Not sure when that started, but you really need a magwell to keep them aesthetically pleasing.

I used same on an AXG despite all the negative feedback,
Seems to be working okay but I did get new screws and not use the supplied ones. I didn’t like the angle on the head.
I would be wary of them. There was a big thread a while back.
CHPWS RMR plates are JUNK and their customer service is just as bad
I purchased two of their Sig M17/M18 plates and attempted to install them today. The first issues was the rear sight which they sell and supplied and the plate is supposed to be cut for. The angle of the dovetails are significantly different. I've installed hundreds of sight sets and I fit...
www.snipershide.com Mine fits prefect and the screws were the correct thread and length. Without their product the RMR wouldn't have worked properly since its a lot smaller then the Sig cut out on the slide.I would be wary of them. There was a big thread a while back.

This one has been big fun.
I really like the heft of it….stable as hell and stupid fast recovery.
Just added the rear sight….not even sure why….it won’t be a carry gun.
Gun is crazy fast.
Targets below are rapid fire…just letting it ride.
Truly a gun that anyone could shoot well.

Doing a bit of recoil spring tuning this afternoon...
I'm temporarily running irons, as Its old RMR took a trip back to the factory to fix an issue with random blinking on/off. We'll fix that as soon as the new SRO arrives.

All those guns that look like they've never been used..........
Yeah, my comp, muzzle, and light are covered in carbon because I color them with a pencil when I'm bored.
Did some plinking with the FN 502 and one of my Oculus 22 demo cans. The long config of this suppressor is superb, but the short config barks a bit louder than I'd like for extended shooting sessions (it's fine for short strings, though). While it's nice to have options, I think the long config will account for the vast majority of my pistol shooting.
I've had difficulty getting the 502 to run for any length of time with a suppressor, but after the last cleaning I used a generous amount of Mobil 28 grease on all the wear points and it ran flawlessly.
G19 gen 5 MOS with some Wilson Combat work. Holosun 508T.
GP100MC .357 w/Leopold Deltapoint V1. One of the most accurate guns I’ve ever shot.
Which strap is that on your Speedy? That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.Home built 1911
Sorry I don't remember. I have too many straps for this watch and there's no marking on the back of this one.
Two and a half guns I shoot USPSA with depending on the match and which divisions are offered.
:
Let‘s see how I fare with it at this weekend’s USPSA match.
99% percent made from stock metals. Only things not made by me are the wood grips, sights, and barrel. Everything else, screws, springs, lower and slide, and all internal parts were made from scratch.
At 25 yards have a 2 inch shot group or better.
