That last pic is just plain sexy. A big "Thank You" to her, and Merry Christmas to everyone! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile She says "Thanks" Tex. And hope and and your little lady had a great Christmas also. And this might not be a total retro gun, but I carried it on duty for most of my career so here is "Blondie" with my S&W 5904 bought in 1990. 
And here is a Walther model 4 3rd variant from 1923 
Since it is to cold to go shooting here these may be the last pics I will be posting for awhile. 
Well at least until I finish the 2 new builds or I borrow Farmboy's retro builds
Uploading the last of the pics with her and retro pistols today and will post them later, going to call them the "Leather and Lace" set

OK here they are, last pics of 2011!
The Leather and Lace addition! 
First up is a CZ27 with Wehrmacht acceptance stamps, still trying to get an exact date on this, but I think it is from 1943, with a 1942 dated hip holster. 
Same CZ27 but with a vintage shoulder holster (Unknown date) I should say she does NOT like this rig, it bothered her neck 
CZ52 from 1952 with Czech military acceptance stamps and a military hip holster. 
A 1923 dated Bolo Muaser. 
And nope this is not the Chinese version.
A Colt 1903 in .32 ACP dated 1912. I have a repro box for this but forgot to dig it out for pics. 
A Colt 1911 dated 1918 with original two tone mag. 
And a S&W 28-2 State Trooper. Don't now the date of manufacture, honestly haven't started researching it yet. 
And since it is the season here is a little green and red for the holidays with a Colt .45 thrown in just for fun

Well Rriggs. Ya'll appear to be having a mighty fine time. Until I saw the Bolo Mauser I had to say the Walther was my favorite pistol and everybody loves a classic 1911. Very nice, all of them. Gotta love those daft Kansas shooting slippers the little lady has on. Still have to say Tex's wife's boots win the shoe contest. Bought my wife a shooting bag so she'd ditch the Etienne Aigner. Got the two for one Craftsman tools bags at Sears with inner an outer pockets. Ha! Ha!
Haven't done much in retro lately or much shooting. Got bored hitting the bullseye most every time. Gave it a rest so I can re-learn in the spring. Seen some big deer around a couple persimmon trees on the farm but the fruit is all gone now. Did have a bumper soy bean harvest but mostly only small deer in that field. Really looks like ya'll are enjoying the cool weather. Guess you bought the little lady a retro carbine and a pistol instead of a ring. Tex's wife even has on a coat. Guess it even gets cold in Texas. Kidding! I know it gets cold down there. Tex, Is that a rattler in one of your pics? Looks like everyone had a very nice and safe holiday! No the wife ain't posing but lace is good. Always was a bit un-nerving for me when the ladies in lace were half naked and armed to the teeth. Made me think about what I'd been doing and who with. Nothing worse than getting caught with the wife's younger sister. |

RRiggs, Anna is 5'10" with a 36" inseam. And she's never shot a cow. Or a deer, for that matter.
We went shooting yesterday. My early 603 clone, my XM177E2 clone, and my 1972 Remington 870 Wingmaster riot gun. 
Anna shooting 603 at 100 yards. 
Jen and Anna shooting XM177E2 and 603, respectively. 
Jen shooting with retro "chicken wing" stance. She did it on her own, I dunno.

It's been nice all week, but it's about to drop down below freezing again. I didn't see any snakes. I haven't seen any rattlesnakes in this area. Mostly just copperheads. I forgot these. We also did a "jungle run" on Saturday. It started with two shotgun only targets, then 8 more targets that were pistol or carbine. We were using my 1972 Remington Model 870 Wingmaster riot gun. 
Liz cycling the action while aiming at target #1. The shotgun starts out magazine full, chamber empty, hammer down. 
Liz shooting target #2. Full recoil. 
Anna picking up the shotgun. 
I believe she's just shot target # 1, or just about to. 
Cycling the action while transitioning between targets. And I had these on my iphone: 
Jen wanted to do some shooting while moving.

Resting the firearm on the magazine can do two things;
1. Induce a malfunction because of increased drag on the bolt 2. Cause group dispersion due to lateral pressure on the bolt and therefore the case head in the chamber |

I agree with what retro says...stayed in the military for 25 yrs, almost 14 of that in a SF unit that fired a tremendous amount of ammunition (200K + rds) every year on all types of firing scenarios. If mags are giving you problems, trash them or let someone else try it in their weapon. Mags are cheap....SGLI payments nowadays are at $400,000.00 the last time I looked. Just my opinion, not an expert by no means. |
