Photos of Fine Guns
Looking at the guns being introduced as "new" and "revolutionary" I was inspired to post photos of some fine guns. These are not inclusive of all fine guns, obviously. But they sure beat what is being sold to the public as "great" guns these days.
All photos are by John Taffin.

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Thank you, SIr.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Not an ugly one in the bunch. It would be a lot of fun to shoot any one of those pistols. If they are all ones that Taffin owns, he is a fortunate man.

Re: Photos of Fine Guns
I think the Colt in .38-40 is a particularly dandy sixgun -- and oh, that 1876 in .45-75.
Thanks for posting Jim. Hope your old friend John is well.

Re: Photos of Fine Guns
Wow! How many of those left handed SAAs does John have? Or should I call them right handed since many think the Colts were designed by a lefty? I really like that Bisley too.
