This thread is depressing... I WANT!

No the 12(X) thread on the EE is depressing. A guy just sold a pair of colt police positive for 250. I would pay that for one!...if only colt gave a few more millimeters... Then there is that reoccurring post of "most still in box" of awesome guns. At least most are sold and only the ones I could not afford any way are left

Man, it would be great to have a brother like you.

This is the best I can do, 12(7)'s, blood takes care of blood.

You should bring that top left Beretta to the next cqb match. That would be interesting

 

[redbirddog]

I like the AMT back up, nice little gun.

 

[canucklehead]

For all you non 12.6ers like me, a Boberg XR9L is the hot ticket.

 

[NickVR]

Late at night I always creep the 12(x) EE and dream of a better time..

 

[mozambique technique]

The snubby .38 is the nastiest handgun I've ever shot. Snappy and inaccurate, I've had enough after 10 minutes. I've got a couple of .32 autos which are much more pleasant.

It's funny, but before they attained 12(6) status, and even in the US at one time, those older Beretta 1934s (like the one illustrated) in either .32 ACP or .380 ACP, were just cheap pistols, plentiful, and not all that popular.
You could by them dirt cheap before 12(6) reared it's ugly head.

Now, according to Mike B. (Duelist1954) in this video below, they have become a hard-to-find classic.

Also, it seems pretty ridiculous that a standard .38 special, Model 10, 4" S&W police revolver, which was probably the most common revolver in North America, is a 12(6) prohibited firearm. (similar to revolver pictured)

How times change.

I pi$$ on the a**holes that screwed everything up for no good reason at all.

Dirty rotten bastiches.

A couple of 1934's in 380 went for $200 each at an auction 2 weeks ago. A 1935 (32 auto) went for $75. But the prices can climb and can get close to $400 if there's 2 guys that both want it.

I try not to have regrets in life as I believe it bogs a person down.

That said, I do regret not getting my license earlier and getting a snub nosed pistol. A 12.5 on the license would be soooo nice

I regret selling my snub nosed revolver and not having one when the new laws came into effect to be grandfathered.

 

[redbirddog]

this post needs kick, maybe with some Ponies and a drink!

 

[Komodo]

I have a beretta model 21 double/single in 22 lr . It is pretty accurate for a shorty

 

[marshall]

If I took the time to try and post pictures I could show you my latest, a nib with all the extras NAA mini revolver in l.r.

had a 22mag black widow that I let a fellow talk me out of a few ago and really miss that thing., you could ever shoot a good group with it, target sights.

 

[geologist]

I just added a Beretta 950 to the family but the Baby Browning is still the smallest.

 

[Ghost Snake]

So jealous of 12.X holders. Somewhere out there is a Walther PPK that will never know the love and devotion only I would show it.

Yes. I have one and each time I shoot it I marvel at how accurate and handy it is. It is an excellent pistol.

Another pistol that gets the same reaction is the Makarov - but it is just an up-sized PPK.

 

[Fargone4sure]

Here is a few of my 12.6
Top right are a FN1900 and 1922, and a Baby Browning. Underneath them a couple of Savages. In the middle a Colt Model 1903, with a Bulgarian Makarov under it. And at the bottom a Astra A-80 in 45acp (an excellent gun).
On the top right are a derringer in 22lr, and one in 38 special. Under them a snubby 44 mag, and 38 special 3", and the evil baby killing 32 s&w.
