Updated pic of my 1972 Colt Lightweight Commander:

Reverted it to stock and tuned it up reeeeal nice. Shoots like a champ. Been looking for a nice set of factory grips for over a year. Glad I waited, found a set of NOS for a great deal!

I have an old S&W .32 top break just like that except mine is hammerless and has a 1911 type grip safety. Every so rarely, I'll spot one like it at a gun show.

I wanted one in each size with the same style, trigger guard, grip, cylinder, etc. The big bores are pricey so I had to settle for the longer barrel and the extra row of cut in the cylinder on the 44. I have shot them all, it is a real hoot. I am thinking about collecting a set of single actions as well. The small bores are pretty cheap under $200. I have seen a lot of the safety hammerless 38's for auction on GunBroker.com. I only collect shooters not high percent collectors items as anything I have I shoot and get scratches and stuff.

Can't Answer Your Questions...

About what year was the c-96 made?

I have heard someone claim the Raven is accurate. Any report on that.

The earliest Shansei Arsenal Broomhandle 45s were manufactured back during WW II. This gun however is one of the more recently made imports. It has a TINY import mark on the front grip strap. My understanding is that they too were made at the old Shansei Arsenal works.

I've not uncovered the full story on these later imports yet. I've seen some that were horrible examples of machining and finish, yet this one is a beautifully made gun. This has a 3-digit serial number.

As for the Raven's accuracy, I collect and do not shoot most of my guns. The .25s were a passing fancy. I bought a bunch of them but never got around to shooting them.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mine is definitely not a collector grade. We found it stashed in my wifes grandmothers house after she passed. Haven't even shot it, and probably won't.

I've got a sigma 9mm, i've never seen one with the black slide too, when and where did you get it? (IE I want one )

i got it at the kenner gunshow back in october here in new orleans. i got a good deal on it, 300 plus tax. it also came with a knife .

my friends have the sigma 9mm as well. they have the two tone like yours. but i wanted all black. which they didn't have, so i got the .40.

oh and i just ordered 2 magazines yesterday, should be in by tomorrow.

New Baby Eagle 9mm

Wanted to share my findings with everyone, I recently purchased a Baby Eagle 9mm, Hi-Cap 17rds. and this gun is impressive to say the least, i compared it to my Glock 19-9mm, Para Ordinance 1911-45acp, and Taurus 101-40sw, and it out performs all in the accuracy division. the target here is 20 meters, using standard ammo, standing no rest. Im not the best shot i know but this gun makes me look good and it just feels great, smooth action and for the cost of 475.00 brand new its hard to beat. Time will tell how it holds up, but easy take down for cleaning is another plus it has. a few images for the guys....

how much did you pick up the baby eagle for? if you don't mind me asking. i'm looking into in investing a 9mm.

ya know they are thinking about a recall on those!!!!!


apparently they do not have the same sear as the others and have accidenlty discharged!!! i believe this happened in Cali. my LT was telling me about it.

 

[George]

Glocks don't have sears, George... They have "connectors".

And any "recall" would have been all OVER GlockTalk. Haven't seen anything like that.

That said... I believe that the G36 has been THE most problematic of the entire line. Over the years, I have seen more posts about people having trouble with their G36 than any other Glock.

.

oppps my bad! connectors! Yeah ive been looking onthe interweb about that, i keep seeing A LOT of class action stuff and the recall on the EXXXXX serials, but nothing to verify what i said

Ummmm......G36 is my carry gun. That makes me nervous to say the least. I've never had a malfunction with a decent grip but like pangris said, underpressure I might fumble a bit.

PM me any more info if you find out. Sux too, I love that gun.

 

[tuan]

Yes, Please keep us informed because I was thinking about getting a G36 as the gun I keep on me for work.
