Here's a good deal that just popped up

 

[1775usmarine]

Family photo from left to right 4506-1, 457, 457 up for sale, 909, 3906, 5903 5946 and 3913. I didnt include the project but it is a 5906 frame.

That 4506 is my favorite. Dang it now I want one again. I need to abstain from ingo. ..

 

[1775usmarine]

I didnt realize till taking the picture the 5903 is an import. Luckily it is marked on the barrel and not the frame.

I particularly like the one in the red hat. Good start on your gnome collection....

The old school lasers are super cool.

Got the police trade-in 5906 picked up yesterday. Pretty dirty, but did a full detail strip and she cleaned up very nicely. Really neat gun to work on actually. The barrel looks new on the inside. Now she's cleaned/lubed and ready for a range trip before anything gets replaced/upgraded/ordered.

The gnomes are the wifes business. I thought of bringing one of the lasers to see how far off I am just aligning by sight. Otherwise it's amazing how laser technology has come since the early to mid 90s.

Bring ‘em. It’s a pretty casual day or two. No one will mind a little test and tune.

I always liked the lines of those grips but they’ve seen some time riding in a car.

The things that gun saw in its career!

Very cool score!

And don't forget the 70s and 80s...

Before solid state we had helium neon lasers that were huge as were the batteries to power them.
Most needed about 10,000 volts just to get ignited, then 1,000 volts to run after that.

That's crazy! I never knew these were a thing!

Nice collection, US marine !

Welcome to the 5906 club, Carlos !

I got my Hogue monogrips, but haven't put them on yet.
Be curious when I get them on if it will change my shot placement.

20' using S & B 115 grain.
I meant to use some 124 grain but was in a hurry to get home since I'd been trying out 5 other guns.
Head shots still low and right.
Torso shots low but not right. Go figure.

I remember reading about The Terminator and how the special effects team built the laser and ran the wire up his arm to a battery pack.

I'm pretty sure you were going for a frowny face on the torso...right?

That's the top pix.
I just threw that in for fun. I believe they started that project in the late 70s, early 80s since the movie was finished in'84. I don't know if they ever continued to R&D it better other than using an external battery pack. I have seen a revolver, I think a Colt Trooper, that had a similar set up but with an extended grip for the batts. It looked ridiculous.

Sorry for the threadjacking.

1006 anyone?

It was a pretty cool laser though
