The official “Everything Else” Handgun Picture Thread.

I think it’s about time for us to have a picture thread for everything you guys own besides Glock’s and 1911’s.

Please post some pictures of your; Sig, Smith & Wesson, HK, Ruger, FN, CZ, Browning, Berreta, Taurus, Walther, Kahr, Kel-Tec, Steyr, FEG, IMI, Hi-Point, North American Arms, Rossi, Inglis, Charles Daly, ETC.

Both revolvers & semi-autos.

This should be a great thread. :cool:

The only pistol I own that’s not a 1911 or Glock.

My Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm.

So far, so good.

I love it.

I hope to add pictures of a HK45, HK45C, S&W MP45, and S&W 686 to this thread later this year.

Okay-

The Walther is a great gun, an ergonomic Glock IMO.

Won’t replace the 1911, but the HK makes a nice little carry gun.

Here are a couple of my favorite “other guns”… :stuck_out_tongue:

Very nice Jason, could you give a brief description about each gun?

You bet…

The first gun is a Devel full-house conversion of a Smith and Wesson 39. Innovative doesn’t even begin to describe the guns that came from Charles Kelsey’s Devel company. The Devel conversions, as well as Pairs Theodore’s ASP pistols, are one of the reasons S&W has the compact 9mm pistols they do today and those who remember the 669 will see it’s linage in the Devel conversions of S&W 59s. The cutting edge work Kelsey performed on the Devel 39s and 59s was ahead of it’s time and to call Kelsey important to the gun industry would be putting it lightly.

The second gun is a Jim Hoag built Browning Hi-Power. I was immediately drawn to this gun because of its retro styling… squared and checkered trigger guard, K-frame rear sight, screw in barrel bushing, 40lpi checkering, etc. It goes well with my Swenson guns and makes a neat retro holster gun tucked into one of my old Sparks Summer Speacials.

The next piece a Smith and Wesson 58… .41MAG is cool and so are wheel-guns! This gun is a nice compliment to a S&W M13 as they are both what I consider the best fixed sighted guns Smith ever produced. Both the M13 and the M58 are fighting guns all the way! :smiley:

The last is my daily back-up gun and it lives in the Alessi ankle rig it’s picture with. The gun is a fairly pedestrian S&W 442 finished in nickel… it now wears a nice set of Spegel grips and seems to like Remington’s +P 158gr LHP.

The others…

Sig P220ST with Sport barrel and compensator

Sig P225 factory nickel (Klein)

Sig P226 9mm aftermarket nickel

Sig P228 aftermarket reverse two-tone

Sig P229R .357SIG two-tone

Taurus PT92AF 9mm aftermarket hard chrome

HK USP45F

Walther P99 9mm OD green

A Devel…man, they were THE cool guy gun back in the day…led to the S&W 3rd. Gen series. Fantastic workmanship.

Anyway, mine are pretty generic.

Yeah, I know they’re dirty…:o

SIG P226 9mm:

Beretta 92FS:

CZ-85B:

S&W M22 TRS:

don’t like SIGs much do you Dan? :smiley:

Oh, he does. He’s going to camp out in front of Walmart when the Sig556 rifle comes out!! :smiley:

226R .40 S&W. Changed the grips from stock to a pair of Ken Houge’s recheckered.

LOL, yeah, just a bit. :smiley: I actually have a P226R as well, but haven’t snagged any pics yet…

Hahaha…almost! I am on the Ordnance Outsellers waiting list for the SIG556 SWAT. I have a Magpul CTR and a TA31RCO-M4 ACOG awaiting an install. They are very anxious. :smiley:

Suicide, do I know you from another forum? Your screen name sounds very familiar.

I figured this might be a good place to introduce myself on M4Carbine. I just want to say that this site is excellent, I’ve already found a few topics that I believe are lacking on other forums. I appreciate all you guys and the info thats here, thanks for letting me be a part of it.

:smiley:

You might have seen that name on 2 different 1911 forums, but I’ve been banned with that name…

Squirt gun and cap gun included. The squirt gun is my very first firearm saved it for posterity.

Here are my S&W M&P and M&P Compact, both with 10-8 Performance rear sights:

My Grandfather’s brother brought this Walther PP back. Supposedly the story is that he was in the first tank division to cross the Rhine. Some research states that the Walther plant was ransacked in '45. Not sure if he acquired it that way or from a German soldier. Upon return he gave it to my Grandpa, and I just picked it up after he passed away last year.

Some further inquiring from some Walther gurus:

Hi Wes:
I’m sure Dieter will stop by soon,but I can give you the date of production,
it was early 1944.You say the grips are brown or if they are the pistol was
used in competition shooting,and the grips were started back in the early
30’s and changed from one pisol after another thru the years.You are lucky
to have a matching mag sn,if you could find the #1
you would be really in good shape.The SA was called the Storm Div,Storm
troopers or brown shirts.This was in the late twenties and earl thirties.
Regards Danny

Hello Wes,
That PP was made in 1944 and is one of the sixth production version
(longer tang, no step at trigger guard base). The reddish grips were
indeed issued for SA shooters. The serialled mag number “2” is unusual
for an SA shooter though.

This “everything else” gun is fast becoming “something else.” Not to M&P everyone to death, but these things are a great alternative for us 1911 fans. I can’t wait to hold the .45ACP version.
