Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

A couple of classics.

Good to hear man, I’m smiling at the memories. Semper fi
Let’s see that single six 315 . Honest wear from honest days

Here’s the single six I’ve owned for over 32 years now. I was able to take it with me to a duty station in the Marines and it definately helped me become a better shooter. One cylinder of .22, then one magazine of .45, alternating back and forth. The Old Timer isn’t the same as I carried back then, lost that one, but it’s what would’ve been in my pocket for years as I chased Squirrels, shot leaves floating downstream and just wandered through the woods.

Prester John nice DW. One of my shooting buddies had a .357 6" in the early 70's, it was a very accurate revolver.

Thanks! That's an 8-inch .357, gift from father-in-law about 25 years ago. Very accurate. Had a 6-inch .22 LR too, but it was stolen.

Shame about the .22, the longer barreled versions were very popular with small bore silhouette shooters of the day. A 6" would have been a great squirrel gun. I don't think any S&W I've owned would shoot as accurately. I had a Freedom Arms 252 in a 7.5" barrel, it would shoot five shots well inside an inch at a 50 yards off a rest, but it weighed 52 ounces. Made my elbow tendons scream for mercy when I hunted with it.

An old picture (pre-board) I ran across of my S&W .38 Special +P Mod 64 a Case Russlock, and a Cobra .22 LR derringer.

Been getting lots of requests lately to do some oak leaf carving on both sheaths and holsters:

These two I did this week. Have I ever mentioned that I hate dyeing leather?

I know lots of folks like darker colors but to me it seems you lose some of the detail you put in there. What say you?

I really like the looks of the darker holster myself, excellent work!

Both look great to me.

I'm more of a natural guy myself!
Great work, as always!

Looks to me like the dye job flattens out the contrast between background and leaf.

As a fellow (ex) leather crafter, I hated to dye or stain leather dark. Natural is always my preferred. Very nice work BTW.
