For mcapo, I carried this T browning for years, might go back to it as I can now see the sights.

Just the perfect amount of patina!

Thank you for sharing that!

Glad to see you drop in, RH. Sorry about your Aunt.

Sorry to hear about your Aunt RH. My condolences to you and your family.

I only have my grandpa left, I was up there for his 90th birthday party last year (2021). I should have asked him about some of the family history when I was up. I know I have to go up north again next year, since one of my sisters is getting married for the first time.

As far as e-mail goes, I run my own server, so I am one of those nerds. I do have a Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo accounts. I rarely use any of them. Outlook is mostly for

Found a generator that will kill 2 birds with one stone for $400. Has the same engine as my Bolens which needs a head gasket. If i end up with it ill make a mount to hang the generator off the front of the Bolens. I have my Firman generator but this would way cooler and puts out more power. .

That one looks particularly nice for its age.

Such an iconic pistol!

Rusty, sorry to hear about your Aunt and prayers sent for her family.

Family history is a interesting thing to get into. I also didn’t appreciate it enough when I was younger but have been asking a lot more questions recently. I hope you can find the answers you’re looking for.

Morning everybody, not CZ but picked this up yesterday. I got tired of waiting for the SA-35 so I had to scratch a BHP itch. I found this Girsan MC-35 on GB for less than 475.00 so I decided to try one out. It's a very faithful repro of the MKIII BHP. Better slide/frame fit than you would find in most Browning's too. I'll shoot it this weekend some time. Typical bad BHP trigger though but that can be tweaked pretty easily. I had a Ritchie Leather holster ready to go for when I found an SA-35 but still waiting.

Fondled one of these today with a grey cerakoted frame and black slide for $499. I was very tempted. I have a non-Ingo friend who has a FN made version that is really nice and he also has a clone made by FEG? I shot them both years ago, I remember the clone not being as nice to shoot.

Initial thoughts on your Girsan? I admit, I don't know much about these guns in regard to the internals and upgrades like sights, grips, etc.

One from today is this version:

You have a non-INGO friend? Are we not enough for you?

 

[ChrisK]

FN has come out with a new version called the High Power. Looks great with ambi controls. The old version was called the Hi Power so the new one will not be confused with the old. I do believe that it is a 17+1 gun so the old mags will not work with the new one.

 

[T-DOGG]

You have a non-INGO friend? Are we not enough for you?

I have multiple non-Ingo friends. The one with the Hi-Power is quite the collector, with a deep love for FN products along with mil-surp and other cool stuff. He's 2 days older than me.

So you have multiple imaginary friends?

No, but some of my other personalities do.

Like Carlos Spicy Dogg Weiner?

Am I a real friend or does he imagine me a friend?

He said the guy had a deep love for milsurp and a big collection of cool things. But then he said he wasn’t old.

Oh. Must be my neighbor down the street?

Renting a storage unit down the street and filling it full of things you don’t want your wife to find does not make it a neighbor.

There you go again. Spreading rumors.
