My Star And Colt

(I'll take "Corny Cowgirl Lines From A Will Rogers Movie" for $200, Alex.)

The tiny Star DK, shown here with full-size keys for scale: Other side:Modern .380 pocket pistols may be thinner side to side but top-to-bottom and front-to-back, this is a tiny firearm. About a 3.5-finger grip. How does it shoot? I'll be finding out.

Colt 32-20, 'cos I had been drooling over it since Tam showed it to me. Reblued but this one has a decent ratchet/extractor star:

    Very nice! How hard is it to find .32-20 ammunition?

    DaddyBear, its around as its long been a favorite among NRA pistol silhoette and cowboy action shooters. The only problem is that its a bit pricey.

    So, how doth one designate the two sides of a handgun?
    Obverse and reverse?
    Port and starboard?
    left and right?

    PS - I use port/starboard, as the gun is pointed away...

    Reminds me a lot of my Llama .380, also a more-or-less-Mustang-clone.

    Good fun.
