Every time I see that scene from Red Dawn, I think of this pistol, my Grand Daddy’s S&W Mod. 10-5.

My Grandfather recognized at an early age, my appreciation for firearms. And much to my fathers disliking, Grandpa willed his firearms to me when he passed.

Don’t worry Grandpa, they’re still in good hands.

A Colt "Shane" would love.

OK, so we talked about plastic toys, here's my latest toy, a buddy wanted to get rid of his G26-only a few rds fired, I found a new home for it, the price was well let's say it didn't break my wallet.

I have been looking for one of those Guns and Coffee motos forever.
Got the NSR already.

M24 shoot me a PM and I'll get one to you.

Let me see if I can get a photo to work... Can't shoot this gun too often, the recoil is fierce.

I love old Colts, thanks for sharing.

**tac40** · 27 July 2010, 18:32

Some more Colts, This is for Gunny, "Get Some" Semper-Fi carry on.

After watching Lock-n-load with Gunny, I had to go out and find another lever action rifle. I found this Browning 92 44 mag. baby sister to the 1886.

So I was walking down the hall and realized our 1st motorcycle squad was officers riding Indian motorcycles and carrying S&W 38 spl.

Nice!! I really enjoy looking at old photos of that type!

Your reference to walking down the hall, and seeing this photo, reminds me of walking down the hall of my Brigade HQ's in Germany. Lining the hallway for the length of the building, were photos of the airfield during the time it was operated by the Luftwaffe, and after the US occupation.

It's kind of neat to see a photo of a ME109 parked on the ramp in front of the hanger that your unit currently operates out of.
