Let's see some Zootshooter firearms!

[DeaconKC]

Here's a couple I will definitely use, the Tommygun may get a vertical foregrip in the future and the wheel gun is a genuine 1917 built S&W 1917 that still has about 30% of it's original factory blued finish.

Looks good. I'll post a shot or two of my Thompson when I get it.

Cheers.

New Thompson

Here are a couple of quick shots of my 1927a1. I have not yet had a chance to get to the range.




I'll post better photos when I get a chance to set up the shots. I'll also have a full range report later.

I finally had a chance to get to the range today. My time was limited, I only put 100 rounds through the 1927a1. Functioning was flawless, not one failure of any type. The rifle was shooting 10 inches low at 25 yards using the basic sight with the ladder folded down. Using the ladder sight at 100 yards, I was able to pick off pieces of clay birds that someone had left on the backstop. All shooting was off hand.



I did not try the drum, I did not take the time to load it.


I expect to get to the range again this weekend and should have a good bit more time.

I think i will have to build one of these. I've got a good shooting M&P .38 from 1906 that was horribly rebuffed and reblued that would be a winner for this, found the Barrel band source, now to decide if I want to bob the barrel on the old timer from 1906.

Just picked this up today, a 1921 Winchester Model 12 in 16 Gauge. Lots of honest wear but whoever used this gun took good care of it, because it is still as tight as a tick.

Picked up some new buffalo horn stocks for a 1926 S&W .38 and popped them on today with a Tyler T grip. Pictured with a 5" S&W .38 from 1906.

A work in progress : an ostrich skin shoulder holster for the S&W #3 actually fits a detachable mag Broomhandle snugly, and disappears under a sport jacket.

Still needs a retention strap and I think I'm going to repurpose the .44 loops on the left side to retaining straps for a brown leather mag pouch (taken off a Makarov holster ages ago), which will hold one (1) spare stripper clip of 9mm.

Just had a little work done on my Argy 1911, new hammer and got some cocobolo grips from Bawanna to dress "Old Slabsides" up.

Oh Happy Day! Looks like they fit real fine. Everything clears.

Got lucky once again is seems. Thanks for posting those.

This is a 1946 S&W pre-Model 10 and a 1945 Sheaffer Triumph Valiant fountain pen. A little too late for the Zoot suit, but ...

Oh ho, sweet! love the Valiant, do you use it regularly? I am a fan of old S&Ws and fountain pens both, love the post.

I use it, or one like it, every day. I collect them, restore them, and buy and sell them.
