Deacon, Nothing wrong with a Glock, but I would strongly suggest a Glock 23 instead of the 19. The 23 is the same pistol but in .40 caliber, and you can get a 9mm barrel for it to be able to shoot it like the Glock 19 (as well as a .357 Sig barrel). Basically it's the same gun, but 3...

Great find! I found my Sterlingworth sitting in the corner of a modern gun shop about 30 minutes from my home, unwanted by those that come to buy Glocks and AR-15s. She's now back in her home city of Philadelphia, and happily shooting clay pigeons on occasion. -Max

Great story. We all do dumb stuff, hopefully fewer or no dumb things with firearms. I shot off my .22 at a stone fence once in the backyard of my parents house. Our neighbors were only about 50 yards away on every side, so no backstop other than the stone and a little bit of dirt. Next door...

Reloading is the plan, just need to get a shop set up first. I have a few fun loads I'd like to reload for, .45 LC, .45-70, .455/577 Martini Henry, and .44 Mag. -Max

This one has been fired, there is plenty of wear on it to show that it wasn't a safe queen, but it seems like it has everything it came with. I intend to fire it plenty as well! -Max

So I added another S&W to my collection recently. This one needs no introduction other than, "do you feel lucky, punk?" Model 29-2, 6.5" barrel, .44 Mag., this one manufactured around 1976: -Max

Kirk, I've been in the market for Farrant grips for a while, unfortunately they've become a collectible item and around $500 for a set. If only I could order them directly for $25 and a trace of my hand! -Max

Part of my ever-growing vintage LAPD collection, S&W K38 Target Masterpiece (Model 14, .38 special) 6" barrel, in the correct 1950s-1970s "clamshell" holster. Replica Pete Malloy (Adam-12) policeman badge as well. These were carried in this rig in the 1950s through the 60s, then LAPD cut...

Don't buy a $30 pocket watch from Kohls. That would make it a costume. For about $100 you can get a real working vintage Elgin pocket watch. Almost all of my vintage pocket watches I got for under $120, and I have some really very nice ones. Blue shirt with a white collar is perfectly...

Sorry, didn't realize the age of this thread. Congratulations on winning and nice looking Stroller suit. You need a Homburg or a Bowler to complete it. -Max

If you want it quick and cheap I recommend www.uniformalwearhouse.com . It's where the rental places get their stuff around here, their morning wear is actually pretty nice. Order a size down on the vest, though. -Max

UPDATE: The smoking lamp is lit: There will be a live cigar roller aboard the ship during the event, and the smoking lamp will be lit in authorized spaces!

Also posted in the event section, but those threads are usually a victim of forgetting to look in the event section, to which people inevitably respond "I wish I had seen this earlier"...

Gents, Thank you all for your help. The wedding was perfect and I think we looked pretty good, and I couldn't have done it without you folks. My groomsmen and I were however destroyed by what my wife looked like. She was the belle of the ball, and no one was looking at us guys anymore...

Gents, I wound up going with a detached turn-down collar, tying the cravat with a loose four in hand knot. Regardless, my wife wins for looks hands down ;) Here's how we looked: Thanks for all your help!
