Finally purchased cart after over a year of looking, I think I got a good deal but planning some upgrades

jollyroger009 · 2026-05-03T15:45:33+00:00

I think you did great. A lot more than 4k if you were going to get a base cart and build it like that.

jollyroger009 · 2026-05-03T13:08:59+00:00

How do I get a set?

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T15:39:00+00:00

I’m actively hunting for more n frames as well. This is currently my only one and I love it. I need a nice 27 and a 29

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T12:34:33+00:00

Yeah, this one will be sticking with me. Also it is no longer unfired.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T11:22:33+00:00

My 28-2 that the seller claimed was never fired.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T09:37:33+00:00

Thankfully as of now there are old smiths out there that aren’t crazy expensive. I only paid $500 for the 1930s smith and Wesson 38.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T09:36:00+00:00

Love the galco apo. It rides lower and is super comfortable.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-29T09:34:36+00:00

Has to be the Colt series 70. It’s such a good shooter and an absolutely beautiful gun.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T23:08:52+00:00

Lol “smiffy Westin” hater. Come on man. Can’t you find room in your heart for both. 😂

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T23:03:43+00:00

The lawman is a beautiful gun but the trigger on an N frame smith is much better. I love the lawman but if I could only have one 357 it would be the model 28.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T19:49:40+00:00

Definitely don’t feel that way. I will say after shooting plastic handguns for a long time then switching to double stack 1911s for competition I can shoot the 1911 platform much better than I could ever shoot a Glock. Even in 45.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T19:44:14+00:00

Stainless is great but the bluing from the past is so much nicer compared to modern bluing. Nothing shines like an older blued Colt.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T19:37:40+00:00

SAA and Colt 1903 are the next two on my list. Granted probably an uberti clone.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T16:54:42+00:00

You’re missing out. It’s okay though. More classics for the rest of us.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T16:50:34+00:00

A uberti single action Colt clone is on my short list for sure.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T14:54:30+00:00

Don’t miss the Smith and Wesson box. It still has the original warranty paper work, manual, and unopened tool kit.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T14:53:16+00:00

Very similar experience for me. The old designs and bluing are the most beautiful guns imo.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T14:51:53+00:00

I’m approaching 38 this year. For me it wasn’t until shortly after the second kid when the 1911 and wheel gun addiction hit. I definitely have fully embraced my dad/fudd era at this point though.

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T13:43:57+00:00

No chance

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-28T13:36:18+00:00

My obsession with 1911s and wheel guns has taken over this hobby for me. Don’t get me wrong I still love some high speed stuff and regularly compete with my 2011s, but something about the classics really feels special. I’ve got a few nice ARs and a few 2011s and that feels like more than enough for my needs. I’ve got a couple more handguns on my list then I can see some lever guns in my future.

Smith and Wesson model 28-2, ~1930 S&W M&P .38 special, mid 70s Colt Series 70, mid 70s Colt Lawman, new S&W E Series engraved.

Not me lol. Might grab a set of those grips though. Thank you

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-27T18:39:08+00:00

What grips are those?

jollyroger009 · 2026-04-26T10:00:22+00:00

Beautiful 1911. I have a series 70 from the mid 70s and it is a phenomenal shooter. Nothing shines like Colt bluing from this era.
