all tooooooo well understood

Of all the firearms I've purchase, I've only sold 1 than I can recall. I may have sold a 2nd one, but I don't remember what that may have been. I'm pretty sure it was one of my ARs (DPMS). It had a bull barrel and I couldn't put an A2 flash hider, compensator, or anything else if I wanted to, plus I already had 1 other AR at the time. I eventually replaced that DPMS with a Colt LE6920 because I heard they will no longer sell that model to "civilians," only to cops. So they changed it to the SP6930. Everything was the same except the name. I could love to get my hands on a BCM because their quality is superb (plus supporting a local WI company doesn't hurt either).

Ok, if we are doing everyday carry pics...
I've actually carried every one of these for a time. (the 410 shotgun pistol was the worst to lug around, didn't exactly fit in the pocket very well)

You seem to know quite a bit about antique firearms Bowers. This was my fathers. He purchased it used back in the early 50s for home defense. He never fired it, but I can't say the same. It's a 5 shot S&W .38. The latest date on the gun is 1889. Know anything about this one?

Thanks Jim. Appreciate the link. Mine is very tight, and was never fired much. Functionally, it's as good as new.

as an early in the process heads-up for our folks, Henry Rifles is setting up a TV channel on YouTube .... as can be seen at this link, its in its beginning stages .... as one who has become very interested in Henry Rifles, I'm looking forward to its development

This is essentially the type of home protection I have, though the metal contains more chrome parts, the front half of the metal has been replaced by wood and a forward chrome sight, no fingering on the pistol grip, the magazine is longer, curved and holds 22 or 23 rounds, depending on the pressure you apply to the springs. I tend to use the lesser to increase the life of the spring.

And the Pearce Grips make all the difference in the world.....a place for your pinkey

Pearce Grips PT709

That's about the size of my 709

Like I said, the Pearce Grips go a LONG way with the little guns

Hey Comptrex................sorry, but still haven't gotten around to taking a pic of my PT709 with CC laser......I "will" though

Here's one you might like:

Hey Comptrex................

It's smaller than the palm of my hand and since I "can't" carry at work () it's perfect for me
