That's a beauty. That's a model that I have on my list.
Thank you for jump starting this section. I'm still working on other things and posting has been limited.
That is a very nice photograph too.

It has the weight and balance as a 1911.

Nice to see your P1, it is a great looking pistol.
Here is my Daisy Avanti 747 Triumph Match. I got it from our mutual friend in Texas.

An early '60's Daisy Spittin' Image. My dad bought it. Had it since I was a kid. Had a holster came with but gone now.

You wanted the High Standard too didn't you? I jumped on that one in a heartbeat.

I was around 5 yrs old, my dad bought it in a little hardware store near a summer cottage we had. Just shoots BB's but I took down a lot of bad guys with that pistol in the early years. Helps when you have a couple dozen "bullets". It still works fine, just kept it clean and oiled.

Thanks. I like the looks of it.

Thks, it has some sentimental value plus some retro cool too. I actually bought a new holster for it last year. It needed something to complete it. Hangs in the house just for nostalgia. Canadian law is not a big fan of actual hand guns...

That's a beauty for sure, Sir H.
I have become TOTALLY into air guns. In fact, I have barely shot my .22s for the last month or so.........
Right now, I have 3, all Umarex.
P-08, Colt Python, and Umarex Surge. The latter I got off Wallmart for $77 with a cheap scope.
The thing is, shooting an air rifle is like learning to shoot again. The technique is completely different than a firearm. It also takes forever to break these springers in......
But I'm hooked on airguns

Shooting an air gun is good practice for shooting rimfire rifles. With air guns the follow through is so important that to shoot them well you must master it.
