    The Sheepdog.



    Springer GI, upgraded with Trijicon Tritiums, Pachmayr wraparound rubber grip panels, extended trigger, skeletonized hammer, beavertail grip safety.

    Probably would have been cheaper to buy something off the rack, but it's fun to build them up.

        Here is my Colt Combat Commander which I purchased back in the 1970's, carried as my off duty weapon, and is now my every day concealed carry weapon.


        Here is a photo of it in my 'Jackass' shoulder rig. The round on display is the Federal 230 grain hydra-shok ammo that I carry in it.

          I like 10mm pistols, especially Colt Delta Elites; a bit of gratuitous Tupperware Glock 29.

          I just took delivery of this 1st Series Delta Elite today from a dealer in Minnesota; I also a a 2nd Series Stainless Delta Elite, and the Glock 29.






          I have about 40 of the original Norma 10mm ammo; much hotter then most of the current offerings available. I guess its time to learn how to reload!

            I've lusted for a Delta Elite since they announced them in the late 80s.

              I know it's a bad picture, I'm not camera/computer savvy. Just an old nickeled Colt with a few scratches.

                    I see some of you have Colts in 38 super. Years ago (71?) dad bought two, one in 45 and the other in 38 super. I was going through mags for the 45 when I came across four that wouldn`t take a 45 round. Took me awhile to remember to look at the bottom and they were 38 super. If anyone can use them they are in good shape. I`d rather see them go to someone who can use them, than sit around with all the other stuff I have for guns I no longer do. Dad would too!

                      You guys probably aren't interested in my old Colt 1911. Pre WW1 C - Ser # 98%. Check out the FA 1914 ammo and Lanyard loop mags. I was goofing with the camera today and had to do it.

                          I like this one best, nothing like an old vintage 1911! Great display!

                            Thanks 4570govt. My wife tells me my thinker was working for a change today. I had a ball with my camera.
