It wouldn't be fair to keep making fun of Briney's missing pics if I didn't post a few of my own. Here is my motley collection of pistols.
Such a loving family...
First up is the smallest member of the collection, a Kahr P9 Elite. I bought this a couple years ago when I got tired of lugging around my XD as a carry pistol in the summer. It's hard to conceal that beast under a t-shirt. This thing is incredibly small and lightweight, but it's still a dream to shoot. You only get 8 rounds of 9MM though, but I'd rather have that than 12 rounds of .40S&W sitting at home.
This is the much older brother of your Mark I. They're fairly similar, but the Mark I doesn't lock back after firing the last round. If Michigan ever allows suppressors, I'd like to get a Mark III with an integrated suppressor. They're dead sexy.
The XD is my favorite all-purpose pistol, and the only one I've ever had any work done on. It was my sole carry pistol for about five years, although it typically only gets carried in the winter months these days. I started shooting at Three Gun competitions this summer and used this as my pistol. I had a trigger job done and installed a tighter barrel and heavier barrel spring. I'd like to get an XDm (Spanky has one) or XD Service in 9mm with a 5" barrel next summer for Three Gun.
This is my collector's piece. It's a Nazi-marked Walther P.38 that was brought back from Germany by a GI during World War II. It's a solid gun and it still shoots flawlessly.
This is the oldest firearm I own. It's a Colt Police Positive Special manufactured in 1910. It's an incredibly clean specimen and it looks like it was manufactured yesterday. Honestly, I wonder if this thing was reblued before it came into my hands?
Last but not least, the twins. The one on the left is mine, and I'm keeping the one on the right for my brother-in-law. These are Kimber Eclipse 2 Custom 1911s. I always thought 1911s were dead sexy.
