It is a dedicated frame with the barrel being fixed to the frame.
Try to avoid mine. It was shot way more than the others. Guessing these are like new at 10 years old save for food particles stuck in the slide…..

I have one of the 9mm Brinks trade-ins. It had some wear from getting in and out of a vehicle.
Hadn't been shot much at all.
Otherwise, yeah filthy and food particles all throughout it.
The fucker is a good shooter though.
I would have bought mine but as of late anything with that logo goes in the shit can.
I wouldn’t want to be in the same shoes as Hallie Biden.
Should get some collector interest. I know it’s a genre for collectors and MA letting guns back in the market is a rarity.

That’s a Thunderer in 41 Long Colt. Picked it up yesterday so it could keep the lightning (38LC) company. No Winchesters in that caliber
What's the trigger pull like on those?
I'm guessing long and sort of heavy.
I love the birdshead design.
I had a set of Pachmayer grips on my USMC duty Model 19 that mimicked a birdshead grip. loved them wish I could find a set.

The Lightning, Thunderer, and Rainmaker were Colts first attempts at a DA pistol in 1877. The DA pull is heavy as would be expected since it is basically scaled down version of the SAA lineup. The SA pull is noticeably better and mimics a Gen 1 SAA if you are familiar with them. The downside to this design was the parts size did not hold up to use especially if used in DA a lot. You will come across many that have broken springs and will no longer function as DA, but still work in SA. The birds head is something to get used to, but in a smaller framed gun like this, they are very comfortable.
Local shop I frequent had an early 1900s Colt service pistol that was issued to the Philipines constabulary.
It was DA. Lines more along the style of a Colts Police Positive but it was HUGE.
Kind of interesting that humans were a lot smaller than and I’m thinking PI humans smaller still and they carried that big piece.
Sam Brown belts were for more than looks.

More than likely a Colt M1917 in 45. Those things are monstrous, and I believe that is an understatement still. I couldn’t imagine toting one around for long periods of time. It takes a strong belt to keep one in the right place.
The Bisley models were on the big side as well, but they point and shoot very well for a larger revolver. They have that birdsheadish style grip as well. I have one in 32-20 that is a blast to shoot.
Nope not M1917.
One of these.
Trigger loop is certainly fit for gloves but in the PI there is no need.

New holster and ammo carrier for the Python, along with Prime rib & eggs.
This guy has controls just like his big brother.
Something a little quieter.

Paid for the gun. Model 39. My trilogy 39, 52, 952.
Found the percolator.
You must be a glass half full guy or someone that believes voting matters.
Right now it’s a window sticker and a Tshirt.
I looked into moral patches but I don’t know if I can get them cheap enough they would sell. Got to be a least sub $10 and it doesn’t leave much for our give send go.
If we bought in bulk and one of us took on the shipping and handling things would be cheaper. Tough with day jobs.
Found some expended ammo my Uncle brought back from his time as a Navy Corpsman (Pharmacist Mate) in the Pacific in WW ll.
Found these in a box full of Drag Racing trophies from the mid 1960’s.
I remember them on his fireplace mantel , never thought I’d see them again.

Those are awesome.
I remember 70s grade school classmates bringing “trench art” from the family for show and tell.
It would cause a school lockdown today.

In High School Seniors got to choose where to park , every truck had gun racks usually with 30 30’s. Didn’t even roll the widows up. 
My class had 72 people lol.
Talk about a lockdown today.
I have/had a picture of a very dead Japanese soldier sitting under a tree holding his head on his knee after a Filipino decapitated him
Took it to Elementary school show and tell. Kids liked it , Miss Apple ….not so much

I'm really liking the 10 round mags. Excellent function so far.
Favorite place to drink coffee in the morning.
It has two office chairs in it.would concur. Got room in that stand for a plus one?
Les Baer Custom Carry with the 1.5" guaranty . I installed a fibre optic front sight & a short trigger. This gun runs like a Swiss watch. 2500 trouble free rounds so far and I shoot in weather that ranges from 10* to 100*.
Tastes like a diner where you get served by a waitress that has a cigarette dangling from her lips….my new brew.
