Phoenix Trinity Thumb Rest Slide Stop
Just got the thumb rest today. Dropped right in and seems nice. I'm looking forward to trying it out at the range.
I'll probably profile it back on the left side after using it for a while and seeing how it feels.

Not something I bought but stuff I found amongst my fathers things lately.
Barrel change tool, barrel gap tool, owners manual and a DW patch. Also found the origional DW wood grip, Didnt even realize the one on it wad a old Pachmeyer grip. Found the SKS booklet and that metal tin which smells highly of gun oil.

Picked up this Savage model 10 Tactic for a song, funny thing is this is. Second time I picked it up for a song. I originally bought it for super short money, a couple years ago. My buddy fell in love with it so I sold it to him for what I paid. Here we are a couple years later and she's mine again! Going to look into making it a project and want to add a detachable box mag and thread the barrel for a compensator, and at some point ditch the BSA scope for something very nice....
Lastly plan on a bedded classic walnut stock.

Arrived today one month and one day after ordering. Two Alien Gear holsters. These are my first hybrid holsters and so far I'm impressed. they're for a full sized M&P 9mm and a SIG P320 9mm compact. So far I've only tried wearing the P320 and the first thing I noticed was how thin is felt. I guess having the clips off to the side rather than on top of the gun makes a big difference. I also like the stability. The only drawback it it's harder to put on, but I'm sure I'll get used to that.
'Technically' this was acquired the last day of August, but I finally got to shoot it today. My first (ever) gun: CZ 75B OMEGA
Gotta say I'm in love so far!
nice.

Can you explain what that means, Matt? I always loved the SGs, even bought a 522, which really isn't a good substitute.

picked up this beautiful s&w k22, made sometime in the early 50's. i just love the look of blueing and wood. only thing that perplexes me, maybe someone can comment, is the serial nu,beds on it. bottom of the grip, underneath the barrel and on the cylinder all have the same serial number but when the cylinder is open the number in there is different. is that usual? I'm not sure. can post a pic if it'd help. thanks in advance gents!

Those are assembly numbers.... no worries there.......Nice combat masterpiece.
The target hammer trigger and red insert may not be as shipped it was common to change those

New PSA upper came in today.
Not a gun, but somewhat special to me. I recently acquired a 1769 Spanish Pillar dollar at a very reasonable price. The time or price had never been right before. When I bought my first copy of the famous "Red Book of Coins" coin guide as a 10 year old or so, the opening picture over the introduction was and still is the Pillar Dollar - "America's First Silver Dollar". I thought, wow, I would really like one of those - this was back during the Bicentennial. I made a little photo collage of the coins and some Continental currency (1775-1779) and a Massachusetts State Colonial note from 1780.
At the time, our Continental and Colonial currency states that the bills were to be redeemed in Spanish milled dollars. This large Spanish coin was the international currency of the day as were the Roman Denarius and Greek Drachma before it. As for contemporary value, two 8-Reale pieces could buy a cow. We took the pillar and banner off the design for our $ symbol. These coins were sometimes literally cut in halves and quarters when change was scarce; half a coin was 4 bits and a quarter coin 2 bits. Hence "shave and a hair cut 2 bits" or 25 cents. The small coin at the top is a 1-Reale piece.
I've been collecting coins and currency for 40 years. I've too many expensive hobbies.
