Springfield XD .45

My father-in-law gave it to me. It was his duty pistol when he retired from the police.

I purchased a used Ruger 10/22 for $100 and traded it for a S&W Pre Model 30, .32 S&W long made around 1947. So it's a S&W Pre Model 30. Sweet little revolver I like to carry sometimes as a backup in an ankle hoster or in a pocket. The Tyler T-Grips help a great deal in getting a good grip on the little thing.

HI_Point 45 cal. $175.00 brand new in the box. Heavy & ugly but shoots every bit as good as my 1911's. If you buy one plan on polishing the feed ramp.

The Model 10 was before me by a couple of years.

When I came on it was the stainless Model 64

Easier to take care of

Please excuse me for the mis-type of model # on the first post

I went to a Glock Model 19 in 1994
No Model 17's on my job
15+1 on the mag

I have an old .32 revolver around here someplace.
It was free, and no wonder as it's a real piece of crap.

Can't get any 'cheaper' than that.

They have a rep for being jamomatics.
