I have thought about doing this for a while.
Over on "The High Road" there are OFFICIAL threads for the different models so I am going to do the same thing here.
Many of us like to show off our pistols and this will give us a place to do so w/o "hijacking" our pards threads ;)

Rules are simple with "no axe grinding" taking precedence, followed by "stick to the topic" (no other models posted, please), then if you want to stray off topic, please search for like posts and/or start one of your own.........

Thanks, HH

Hi.

For a short while I owned and got to shoot a thoroughly modified pistol like this ... It was modified to shoot S&W .32 shorts and the trigger spur had been changed to a traditional trigger guard ...

I could only get two of my loads to fit into the chamber ,,,, and ended up selling it to the original owner ...

Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, I wished I had never sold it, but sent it to a good gunsmith to get the chambers fixed ...

I believe I had a few conversations with the guy that was the "original" owner of that pistol. Seems that Bob Millington did the conversion in 32 S&W long and the owner made the trigger guard. I think he had some threads on THR about it if my recollection holds true!

When I have a chance I'll post some pictures of my pocket pistols. I have mostly S&Ws. Let me know if that's not OK for this thread. If not I'll find a place to share them.  ;)

Hoof Hearted,

I think we are talking about the same guy ...

I never liked the spur triggers ... alll I could think of was shooting my **** off in a very uncoordinated moment ...

I even contacted him about getting a new trigger guard ... he replied that he was  'too busy'  to make one ....

Ah well ....

TTFN,
