Iver Johnson 55a. Not real fancy but you don't see many around anymore. One of a handful of keepers in the collection my dad left me. I think he bought it new.

@Geezer That 34-1 just restarted my heart from the thanksgiving meal coma

Which is your favorite to shoot?

The Model 34, of course. I got it from my good friend @Etruett and it is a joy to shoot. Once, I let @Lil D shoot it and I didn't think she was going to give it back to me.

Squeamish girly-men and those with weak hearts, avert your eyes now; manly men, behold the mighty Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper in .22LR:

When I got this, I sold my NAA mini. I love this little guy

@98s-281 This has to be a blast to shoot

Get all my good guns and then move away before I get a chance to screw you back out of them. You had a plan!!!

Oh, I forgot about my newest rimfire revolver, a Pre-Model 18 Combat Masterpiece.

Yes, 617. Dash 6, I think. Fun to shoot. Since that photo I’ve replaced the stocks numerous times and added a Dawson FO front sight. Good shooter!

 

[NCWalrus]

I am wanting to paint the front sight on my SP101 ... any advice before I dive in borrowing my wife's nail polish?

I swear it's my wife's nail polish.

Taurus model 96. I like it a lot. Ain’t no smith but it wasn’t $800 either

 

[BatteryOaksBilly]

Ain’t no smith but it wasn’t $800 either

??????? Nor is it a $2K Freedom Arms....so what...enjoy it. No comparison needed.

 

[CarolinaColtCollector]

Sooooomebody, @Slacker 👀 Was bashing them earlier.

‘Ol Heifer I tell ya.

 

[BatteryOaksBilly]

I have always believed in buying the "yard stick" the item is measure by. However, if a Taurus or Rossi or Charter Arms is what you settle for, never feel any need to justify your purchase. It was what you could do when you did it. I have several Taurus and Charter Arms guns. The particular ones I have are superior to any S&W for their intended purpose.

 

[NCWalrus]

@CarolinaColtCollector - I dig that Taurus Model 96. How does she shoot?

I like it, especially being able to run shorts and get people familiar with shooting. The sights are adjustable but terrible, I need to paint the front sight

 

[98s-281]

@98s-281 This has to be a blast to shoot

It's my snake gun lol. Keep it loaded with shotshells

 

[Pogue]

I don’t own one yet, but a S&W 647 .17hmr is on my short list, despite being discontinued and problematic.

 

[7.62 Sam]

all I have to offer.

 

[Aardvark]

Here's my 617-1 6-shot, & 63-4 5"bbl 9 shot. I had a 18-2 4"bbl but traded it away a few years back.

Sally beauty sells the most obnoxious safety orange nail polish for $4 or so. It’ll paint as many front sights as you can buy.

I clean first with Isopropyl Alcohol. Some say a coat or two of white as a base helps. Maybe a coat or two of clear on top too. One thing’s for sure, multiple thin coats work best.

and there's also this - might even work better but I have not tried it:

Another ruger to the thread. A single six Is nicer, but for plinking, it's perfect.

SP101 from first post now wearing hogue grips and freshly painted orange front sight. It’s no work of art, but functional.
