Very nice Duke'

Up for your consideration today, an automatic pistol made by a "chainsaw" manufacturer.

Here is my Husky. A Husqvarna M1907 in .380 ACP. Born on date unknown.

Some have seen this one already but my Armi-Galesi Model 9 with holster and two magazines. .32ACP made in 1954. I am guessing by the holster it was some sort of police issue.

No import marks.

For size comparison

Not sure if you guys consider this oddball on a 1911 site, but this is one of 2 38 special wadcutter factory colt N.M. that i have. From the outside they look like any 1911, inside things are very different. View attachment 679 View attachment 678 View attachment 677

those are some sexy and fantastic looking 1911's. wow i would love to shoot one in that caliber some day. i have zero experience with 38 special in a semi auto . how different are the parts inside? the coonan 357 auto is another , how did they do that ?? moment in gun technology .

A rare little 45acp the Fire Star by STAR. It's a great little gun that can be used as a boat anchor in a pinch LOL.

I actually like the looks of this one!

The FNP-45, with an accessory.

My grandmother-in-law used to scare off the things that go bump in the night on their small farm with this. Sorry for the horrible pic.

Boat anchor is no joke! I had a Firestar .40 in the Starvel finish. I sort of miss the little bugger when I get the urge to work out with hand weights...

This is a Timberwolf frame and a Adam Arms slide and 9mm threaded barrel.

I've got to build something like that one of these days...

I'm sure I've posted this before but how about a hammerless 1911?

How about a little more information?

Here is one of my favorite Derringers. It's silly, and cheep. What better way to bring up the price a couple of bucks for something that would sell for $10 otherwise. It's a Butler.

Not sure if this is an oddball or not. It's one of 500 or so Gen 1 NAA Rangers. I picked it up before the prices went through the roof.

The story goes that Bill Laughridge of Cylinder and Slide always loved the little 1908 Colt hammerless pistols and wanted one in .45. So he started with a CCO silver soldered a new backs on the slide and frame to give it the right look turned a bull barrel to the right configuration added a round butt....
It's a pretty interesting piece. One of the original 50 frame/slide sets he had made. It came with 2 magazines that are numbered to match the pistol. The firing pin is a two piece unit. They have/had ordered 50 more sets but I do not know if any are still available.

@1911U004 I am drooling over your NAA. Lucky you. I have probably 20 Freedom Arms and NAA's including cylinders without safety notch and buckles but I only have the Gen2 Ranger. And yes the price has gone up and up..As you said, "Not sure if this is an oddball or not." but is sure is nice and rare....
