CCO 9mm aluminum frame. IF I could get a permit in Maryland it is what I would carry daily.

This is not mine. Not the best by far and there are others I would rather carry on a daily basis, but there's a charm to them and when I was a child, it was the very first hand-gonne I wanted.

My very first was a slabside with unmilled panels like this one. Note the large ring hammer:

S&W Recon9 catalogs as a 5904 but is more of a 6904. Glock 26 sized a little heavier but very accurate
with a Briley bushing at the muzzle end of slide.

OMG it's a Kimber! It's close to 20 years old and the first gun I spent big money on. Lots of defensive pistol competition/training and ccw.

Nice that’s been carried and shot some!

That gun, right there. The one in the picture. You've carried that every day for 15 years? How long ago did you get that finish?

I find it hard to believe. EDC is brutal on a gun, and that looks.. fantastic.

That Glock looks like it has been carried for 8 minutes.

You two must be frying pan virgins. Old school frying pan pan finish is damn near impervious to wear.

She’s got a bit of silver shine around the edges bits that’s about it.

I love hogue wraparounds, but these grips are amazing. A Langdon trigger job makes it a badass gun.

I've always loved the USP in .45. Next year I think I'll go looking for a stainless slide one.

Not stainless but I got an email from arms unlimited saying they had elites and experts in stock. Always wanted one but don’t have the cash currently

I have some really cool handguns. You would pick any one of them over this.

But i's still my favorite (the middle one).

This has been my carry gun for almost 15 years. 2005 OD green Glock 19 with frying pan finish. Over 66,000 trouble free rounds down the pipe.

OEM (-) connector and a smooth face OEM G17 trigger with 25 cent trigger job. Surefire XC1-B and a fresh set of TruGlo Tritium Pro sights. I put the traction grip on a few months ago because the frame was worn slick and smooth.

Love this freakin gun.

M19-5 I got when my dad passed. It is a safe queen, but gets yearly range time. Probably one of the first guns I ever shot as a kid.

The top one.

Danish 1772 naval pistol. I assume it was present at the 1801 Battle of Copenhagen.

It is my favorite because it was a gift from my wife on my 50th birthday.

Have you shot the 1772? Is it a matchlock?

Damn Dude ! I don't mean to be rude , maybe you should start a thread for donations to buy an Iver Johnson , maybe a Hi Standard ?
Maybe a Ruger Wrangler , the new .22 they introduced , less than 200 bucks ?

It is a flintlock, and a generous arfcommer sent me some flints for it. Below is a picture of it with a flint in it (and some spares)

I have not fired it yet. The indoor ranges around here would not allow it. I would be willing to try it someday.

Wish it could talk.
