Ok Bill, I mostly am a shotgun nut. I have only handled a few big-caliber semi-auto handguns. What is the spur below the hammers on those babies? Looks like they'd be dangerous from that end too.

 

They're called Beavertails and are a common sight on classic 1911 style .45s although they've been adapted to others pistols. They serve the dual purpose of cradling your hand so that your grip improves, and also helps keep your hand from being slammed by the slide as it comes back after firing. The little bump which is a continuation of that on the handle acts as a safety, and the gun won't fire unless that's depressed.

 

Heres my son on a shoot last summer.

This collection is terribly gauche and really has little to recommend it. There seems very little aesthetic sensibility or personal vision at work here. The problems begin with the first firearm and go downhill quickly from there. Time and again the owner has chosen blunt inelegant lines and undistinguished designs that leaves this reviewer, quite frankly, repulsed. "Hawg" says it all here. In addition, it is well understood that presentation is important; the collectors choice of granny's lap blanket to display the collection only accentuates its shortcomings. D-

"Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding) is the acquisition of, and failure to use or discard, such a large number of seemingly useless possessions that it causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities..."

 

Handguns, rifles, and the like, while not everyone's cup of tea, are often collected as a sure means of investment.

Kinda makes sense since I did have a slide cut open my hand once. Looks dangerous anyhow.

 

The number of shotguns I own is a state secret or a secret from the state or maybe both. They are locked up in a safe that even my wife doesn't know the combo to. :laf: But here is some duck snuff porn. Recognize the weapon?

Its a 1903 Parker. My Uncle's gun. He introduced me to hunting many years ago and has been gone for about 5 years. I still take his gun out once a year to remember and honor him.

First it was saving all of you from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, I'll bet you haven't lost one nights sleep worrying about AI since I've been on the job. After that I got the wonder dog and have been training him. His dad was the 2004 National Field Trial Champ and I have been trying to realize about 10% of that potential from him. If I was a better trainer I'd bet that he could lead 5.10 trad. Right now though he just picks up dead and injured ducks. But he does that really well.

Full bore Golden Retriever

 

He's a full bore yellow lab.

[forehead slap]DOAH![/forehead slap]

If I'd given more than a cursory view, I'd have noted the shorter hair, stockier body, and more intelligent visage.

 

...2 years to train him, he is smartest dog I have ever had.
The first assuredly produces the second. Way to go. :tup:
