Re: Anyone carry OLD guns?
I don't carry the old stuff because of wear and tear and the evidence thing if used. I like a nicely worn second hand reliable gun for carry. Smith&Wesson 640-1 Glock 23, that type of stuff. Not hard to find or replace. I would trust any John Mosses Browning gun. Replace all the springs, that's it. The rest of the gun is up to the task. Springs wear out. Mausers, Walthers, Markovs are all good to go. Lugers and broom handles? Try jamming one of those down your paints.

I have a 44 y/o Colt Cobra that I carry on occasion. Not ancient but about as old as me

Re: Anyone carry OLD guns?
Does my Colt Model 1911 in .38 Super with a birth date in the early 1930s count as an old gun ?? This is one of my BBQ guns and comes out with me several times in the summer.
My main BBQ gun is old; it's a generation one Single Action Army with see carry duty once or twice a year.Last edited by MOUNTAINORACLE; June 13th, 2015 at 03:59 AM.

I wouldn't have any problem carrying old, maintained and reliable guns. But alas I do carry guns made within the last two years

My regular carry gun is a Smith 36-"no-dash" I got through a lawyer friend from a client of his going up the river for kiddie porn.
It's 100% reliable and accurate out to 50' (the farthest I've shot it).
I wouldn't trust one of Smith's current lock guns.

Re: Anyone carry OLD guns?
For my winter coat carry I have a S&W Model 1917 .45 that was made for Brazil back in 1937 and was brought back in the 1980's. It's a beauty. Somebody put a 3" underlug barrel and FDL Wondersight on it, tightened up the lockwork a little and hardchromed it. It shoots better than I do.
