Handguns Descriptions

Colt Prototype 1860

Rare Early Colt Factory Prototype Model 1860 Army Revolver Converted to Metallic Cartridge. Serial no. 170997, .44 rimfire caliber, 8-inch barrel, the top marked: -ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA. Blued finish. In-the-white six-shot breech-loading cylinder. Experimental conversion ring. Varnished walnut grips. The breech loading conversion represents a first departure from the front-loading Thuer conversions. One chamber of No. 170997 was countersunk to accommodate the cartridge's rimmed breech. That countersunk chamber is considered to have been an experimental procedure, abandoned when realizing that to countersink each chamber was not possible, due to the overlapping of each cartridge rim and therefore each cartridge's chamber...thus, first, the circumference of the cylinder had to be enlarged.

Glock 21

Remarkable for its accuracy and light recoil, the GLOCK 21SF delivers the legendary stopping power of the .45 AUTO round with 10/13 round magazine capacity. Countless law enforcement units swear by the G21SF pistol, and that's why this powerful, lightweight, all climate workhorse is standard issue from the North to South Poles. The SF model reduces the circumference of the receiver at the rear, or "back strap," offering increased comfort and controlespecially for shooters with smaller hands.
