Volunteer Enterprise's Mark 45. Back in the day when it was safe to own. Bought the rifle, 2x30, and 1x20 mags from Thruway Sports for $50. 25 yards POA as fast as you could pull the trigger.View attachment 68888

I don’t care for weapons chambered in .45 but that my friend I would buy if I was allowed to own it. Beautiful.

Ditto- sweet piece.
I do have one of those stuffed away in a box somewhere around here. I believe the only time I've admitted to it on a forum was in the old place when I made a funny with a picture about my ultra super tactical pistol that had several silly things attached via multiple rail adapters, also including a giant scope.
I can't think of anything I have that someone else here wouldn't (nothing I'd ever admit to here anyway.. just kidding.. probably).
The only sort of funny gun thing I can think of that comes close is that if you look at the Wikipedia entry for the Jennings/Jimenez J-22 pistol , that is my (almost embarrassing to even own) gun pictured and my photo. So I have THE J-22 that has been the standard internet reference resource photo since 2007. That one is a Jennings, not a Jimenez , and the article used to be called that.

I believe so yes. Not a fantastically clean job of plating though.
Well I sure didn't buy it to carry it. I do recall trying to shoot it once back in '05/'06 or so when I picked it up. I don't believe it got through more than two rounds without a jam, but I probably only went through the one mag, maybe two. I probably could have made it work better with some fixin', but .. why ? I got it purely as a novelty from some guy on craigslist or something for less than $100. That was back when I actually had any money whatsoever to even consider buying anything at all as a novelty. Just sort of a fun and silly gun to have in the collection, and it's actually in quite nice condition though /w the box and papers and stuff.
EDIT: Bonus Content - Featured Gun: Jennings J-22
If you look at this page about them you'll find that Numrich was at one time selling ridiculoius chromed and engraved slides for this already ridiculous gun for $33 and change. I almost certainly would have bought one for the little guy at that price. More amusing yet though is that you can also see some examples with supressors mounted.

It is, uh, I mean was, a lot of fun to shoot. But damn, 100 rounds of 45 in a hurry gets expensive. Used the Thompson stick mags
Back in the day a handful of friends and I bought .22 pocket pistols to carry. One of my buddies bought one of these because that’s all that he could afford at the time. What a piece of crap that thing was . We actually called it the Jam o matic because he could Never get off more than a couple of rounds before it jammed up, every single damned time that he tried to shoot it. He even sent it back to Jennings once for a free repair and that literally turned out to be the worst thing that he could have done. The day the he got it back we stepped out back to try it out and on the very first shot the thing completely came apart in his hand.
the slide went flying past his head , while the spring and barrel went out into the stratosphere ! What was left of it and what we could find lived in a box in the back of his closet for years afterwards. The only useful purpose for one of those things is to have it converted into a lighter or paperweight.
This is the most unusual gun I've shot so far
@Mosinitis you may like this or hell even have one.
If mosinitis doesn't have one I doubt anyone will

It used to be used by Russian assassin's because it was one of the first pistols capable to be "suppressed". When pulling the trigger the cylinder is pushed forward and seals up against the barrel. Interesting Design.
Saying it has a heavy and long trigger pull in double action is an understatement.

I always wanted one and they were dirt cheap, but never got one, because NY laws are not pistol friendly. As you pointed out, its gas sealing feature made it unique. (IIRC, British had a similar design revolver) Nagant was used by the gangsters because you could fire it from the pocket of your coat and disappear into the crowed without being notices. It was also issued to Soviet tank crews at the beginning of WWII, because you could fire it through a narrow openings in the tank. They soon discovered this cartridge was underpowered and didn't have enough stopping power going through German winter coat. They were replaced by TT's (Tokarev). I got this story from my relative who was a tank driver during WWII. He is 95 now, but remembers every detail about the war as if it was yesterday.
A.A. YurYev in his book describes how the trigger pull can be lightened and these pistols can be converted into target pistols. In fact they were used as target pistols back in the day. Not suggesting this should be done, this will ruin its appeal as a collectible.

Friend of mine gave me this, not mine.
It's the second oldest sport trophy in America. Despite its name, it's a civilian trophy. Awarded to top scoring civilian shooting team during National Trophy matches. I was on the team that won it for NYS in 2008. The trophy itself stays at Camp Perry. Winners get the plaque.
I would say my home built reloading table and my customer G22.
Nice table! And I always like looking at your g22 - even if it's a Glock.
The wife is the artist I'm just the builder. She free handed all of it. Still cant decide on what to do with the door cabinets. The bench is a catch all right now so sorry for the clutter.
LeVaux Calvary Pistol, made in Belgium for the English market. Uses .455 Webley Black Powder ammo - impossible to acquire.
Large, heavy, MINT. And likely unique.
