I have two pistols which I regularly CCW.
I usually carry the Springfield Armory Professional Model I've had since late '01. I also have an old Colt that I set up to be as similar in the hand as possible (long trigger, flat MSH, three-dot night sights, 20 lpi checkering and whatnot) that I mostly use for a range gun and backup. However, I'd been carrying the Colt for the last few months, after setting the Springer aside for a detailed scrubbing.
This morning, I went up into the attic to unload the Colt and put the Pro back on my hip. Just after I did so, I noticed a copy of the very first issue of Concealed Carry Magazine lying atop a stack of periodicals. For whatever reason, it caught my eye, and I picked it up and thumbed through it.
There on page 15 was an Oleg Volk photo of the very pistol I had just stuck in my holster.
It is, indeed, a small world...
I love that you used the word "periodicals."
ReplyDeleteFunny.... just today I was on the Concealed Carry website for the first time in a year.
ReplyDeleteBreda,
ReplyDeleteIt's easy for me, because "magazines" has a whole diff'rent meaning 'round here. ;)
Just read a blurb about military pistols in a 'guns of the world's militarys type book. Apparently, the 1911 is no good, and soon the US Army will adopt a 9mm. They weren't sure which pistol, but the copyright on this book was 1981 or somesuch.
ReplyDeleteDoes Oleg have said picture posted in one of his galleries?
ReplyDeleteYou got me curious.
I couldn't find the photo from the mag (it was my Pro and my Jetfire lying side by side,) but there are a few other shots of my Pro in his arms section.
ReplyDeleteHere's one.
Is that your thumb, too?
ReplyDeleteJim
I believe it is.
