A more elegant weapon for a civilized age
[smile]

Gotta love Colts! Nice early grips on that one.

The .32 is a good round for the frame. Very popular gun in the day; nearly 600,000 made. I find the .380 a little strong. Dillinger carried the .380.

I'm hanging that picture up in my basement as a wish list. I've got the Colt 1908 and a pair of .32S&WLong Colt revolvers...need to get back a 1903 (in .32, I agree about the .380) and a true 1911 and Detective Special...
 
Lousy picture, done on my cleaning towel.[smile]

1914 Police Positive in .38 special
1915 M08 in .380
1917 M1911
1918 M08 in .25
1920 M03
1953 Detective, ex Boston Police.

My youngest son turns 12 soon.
Going to surprise him at the range with his Bday present: 10/22 takedown and 1650 rounds of ammo.
Hopefully this will keep his grubby mitts off my ar.

Are those for personal use or did your employer purchase them? If personal use, do you hunt yotes or other animals that you can hunt after dark? Those goggles are no friggin joke.

personal use. i hunt with them a little, but theyre mostly for shooting at night and exploring the property at night. ive already seen some cool stuff, sneaking up on bedded down deer, watching big bucks fight in the corn fields 30 yards away, calling a pair of racoons almost into my lap. the woods are a different place at night.

got some better pics. there hasnt been much of a moon, havent seen the full potential of the tubes yet but they are lightyears ahead of my pvs14.

Been way to long since I have been able to post in the acquisitions thread.

This one is technically the wife's but I will be enjoying it plenty. She likes how our compact L shoots the grip is just a bit too large for her to shoot comfortably.
