Who Carries Old Guns?

[The Night Rider]

Define old.

He literally defines "Old" in the very first sentence of his OP

By old gun I mean something that you picked up 10 - 15+ years ago and it is still your primary or only EDC.

 

[Annihilator]

Define old.

“Annihilator”

 

[The Night Rider]

I'm asking because I'm considering going with a 3rd Gen Smith 6906

I owned a 6906 for several years. In some ways I regret selling it.

BUT I inadvertently engaged the safety during a class while I was trying to do a TRB drill.

Then I broke the firings pin spring, (normal wear and tear) and found out that the part was difficult to find and expensive.

I suspect that magazines will also become difficult to find so I switched to a Glock.

Me also. Anni just a dadgum young whippersnapper . Thinks he is old. Sheesh!

 

[DunRanull]

I keep my old HiPower and Combat Commander handy, as well as my old Python. However I mostly carry a Glock 19g5 or a Glock 21 g3. Often I'll just have a model 36 S&W .38sp in my pocket, being retired and all... All are bone-stock, except the Glock 21 which has tritiums.

Hopefully the blades were made in 2024.....

I thought you were suppose to strop them sharp - not throw the razor away. I've been using the same razor I was given at age 13 and sharpen it as needed. It also has other uses TSA wants them in checked luggage however.

 

[Recusant]

Most of my old guns are too valuable to carry. But Glocks on the other hand are a different story!

If you’ve been just stropping it since you were 13 my hats off to you I guess. I send mine to a guy every so often and have them honed properly. $25 well spent.

does our 1967 colt 1911 count as old
we are the 1st owners after the gun shop
he had it for literally decades before i sauntered in all foaming at the mouth over another 1911 in black chrome
yes it was or is a commemorative, but it shoots sooooooo nice
