My Small Collection

Doc Holliday · March-27-17 13:03

Hi All,
I have 26 handguns ranging from 22 lr to 45 acp and 45 Colt..(please don't say 45 Long Colt ...LOL!..not necessary anymore,). But my favorite pocket guns are my Bond Arms, (built like a tank..but heavy, and my collection of NAAs. I have the original Mini, a Pug, a Sidewinder and a Black Widow. They were all purchased NIB, and happily for me anyway, the original owner of the unfired BW had changed out the bulbous BW grips for wooden Boot grips. I like to carry the BW or the Pug along with a Bond Arms in either 45 Colt/410 or in 44 Special. My BAs both wear replacement grips that cost almost half what the derringers originally cost...LOL!
But..I am an NAA nut! No matter which other handgun I have, I'm always packing an NAA along side!
Cheers,
Unkei

well played,
I do like the grips on the Mag 1 5/8 and BW

Very nice! Being in CA, I believe we only have the standard 22 Magnum and 22 LR to choose from. I gotta get out of this state!

Yeah Texduk3, the Birdshead grips are attractive, but just didn't give me enough to hold on to, and I don't care for the large rubber types. So I ordered the Boot grips and have been pleased with them. Luckily, the grips are relatively inexpensive..at least in comparison to the Stag Grips for my Bond Arms, which while genuine Stag were $230.00! That was a bit hard to swallow!

You know..it occurs to me that nobody ever asks about my signature. I thought I was being clever and that people would constantly ask what it means. Guess I was really not all that clever after all...LOL!

Stay is pretty pricey, but not bad compared to the ivory slabs I put on my 1911. I really like the natural materials though
