I was late in posting, even though, like most, our BAG day guns were bought early. I made a concerted effort to actually buy a gun TODAY, but I was looking for a left-handed bolt, which is like a needle in a haystack. I think I have located the bolt and will be picking it up tomorrow.

In any case, the first gun up is the Old Man's Single-Six. 6 1/2" barrel, single action with beautiful iron sights. The cylinder swaps out, so it is capable of firing .22 LR or .22 Win Mag. As far as I know, the old man has only fired Win Mag on the 2 trips it has been to the range with us. Thus far, it is pretty close to being sited at 25 yards.

Secondly, is the H&K USP. Chambered in .45 ACP it is one of the mellowest .45 semi-autos I have ever touched. And it is black and eeeeeevil looking. For all you people who don't have grounds for an Americans With Disabilities Act suit ready to go, i.e., right-handed, this gun has several features outside of its plain bad-assness that make it appeal to the cripple in us southpaws. This is one of the few semi-autos with an ambidextrous magazine release. Given, it it's in a weirder spot than most, but it's ambidextrous, dammit. The other thing is, the safety/decocker is capable of being switched to the other side of the gun. You righties have no idea how nice it would be to actually have a safety/decocker that could be utilized with your left hand thumb while holding a weapon. It's also a shitload of fun to shoot and a very convenient full-size if you are using a shoulder rig.

As stated, we cheated and bought ours early. I made a good faith effort to actually buy a gun today, but alas and alack, it was not in the stars. Hopefully I am posting more pics tomorrow night.

Happy BAG day, everyone!
