Cosmetically challenged pictures.

[freebird72]

I am looking for pictures of pistols that are mechanically sound but are less than pretty when it comes to finish. I don't care how horrible the gun looks, I simply want to see the pictures. I want your beaters, your shooters, and your loaners. The more the better.

I have a thing for the used gun look.

This is a picture of my current "project" gun.

It's solid mechanically and looks like it was carried in a tackle box on a boat.

I put up some money for some sort of restoration and then another weapon comes along and wipes out my savings. LOL! So this one may just stay as is for awhile.

I wouldn't call it a beater, just a gun with honest wear:

Holy smokes! What's the story on the above gun Sharp? Was that from the Indianapolis?

 

[freebird72]

Not bad guys.. Keep them coming.


Oh and Sharpdressed Man, what is the story behind that 1911?

 

[Sport45]

I wanted a M-25, but couldn't bring myself to bid on this one...

Sharpsdressed Man,

Some serious oxidation on that 1911! Find that with your metal detector?

 

[bigghoss]

when I saw that 1911 I wanted to cry

 

[Delaware_Dan]

I *think* that 1911 had a loaded mag rusted into it.

 

[CajunBass]

About as beat up as I got.

 

[C5rider]

D Dan,

Yeah, but at least the safety is rusted on too!

"mechanically sound but are less than pretty"
The 1911 fits this description or only half the discription?

Here is my 1990 Browning Hi-Power "beater." Excellent mechanical condition. Loose and highly accurate. I put it next to my 1983 Colt Government so that you could more fully appreciate the cosmetics of the BHP.

Thanks guys, you are delivering just what I wanted. So please keep them coming.

And Sharpdressed Man, we are waiting for the story.
