Pair of Colts. The stainless is a .357 Python Elite and the blued one is a .22 Diamondback.

The Diamondback has never been fired and the Python has only app 100 rounds through it. They're collectibles any more and almost too expensive to shoot.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've fired any of my weapons in over a year.

Sounds like that Target's kind of a valuable popgun. Far as that goes, the ACE too. Saw a 6" .38 nickel Diamondback once, that was a purdy piece as well.

A nickel plated Colt is a mighty handsome piece. They look WAY better than stainless. Course, I always wanted a Python Hunter, they were just too kool for skool, with the Leupold glass an' that fitted Zero Haliburton case an' all.

Hi westgate, Burlington, brings back memories we used to drive down along the Richelieu and go picnicing and swimming in Lake Champlain. All the talk of late about borders, I recall one border crossing, believe it was on the road that runs through the islands in the north of the lake. The customs post was only manned in the summer, so after labour day you were told when driving through it to report to the nearest 'open' customs post. Of course we always did that.

+ whatever!

Here's a bit of history from my home town.



Betsy Ross' house in Baltimore where she made our nation's first official flag.
