That looks like two guns, one on top of the other!
ReplyDeleteSo that's what happened to my spare Hi-Standard barrel, S&W 460 compensator and can opener!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't like ambidextrous safeties either.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, while it's not what I'd call pretty, nor my "cup of tea" I can kind of see where they were going and appreciate what looks to be craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteIs this one of the famed "Pachmayr Combat Specials" that Mike LaRocca built for one of the customers of Pachmayr Gun Works. Using a Series 70 Colt Goverment Model and a six-inch BarSto barrel ? or a poor homebrew clone ?

Just another reason why I don't like compensators and space guns. Drop that and it may be usable and worthy.
ReplyDeleteSpecialized sport target gun, IMHO no uglier than some of the S&W Performance Center stuff. Kind of an "unharmonious" looking conglomeration. I imagine it works well enough for it's purpose.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the end of the barrel be painted organge?
ReplyDeletePS-Thanks for getting "Ugly gun Sunday" back on track. I missed it.
Any idea what is mounted to the dust cover? Is it a Laser?
ReplyDeleteAt least it doesn't have front cocking serrations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nasty thing to do to a longslide.
ReplyDeleteA genuine Pachmayr special. Ugly lies in the eyes of the beholder. Perhaps unorthodox would be a better descriptor. I am curious how it shoots.
ReplyDeletenevermind
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about what appears to be a laser sight, too. That's actually a low-profile, unobtrusive little thing if that's what it is, especially if it's of the same vintage as the gun.
ReplyDeleteBut it could be almost anything, I just can't think of anything else that makes as much sense.
This is the opposite of that poor, unloved Ruger that someone Polanskied with Rhino Liner and a jeweling bit. A piece of equipment that sacrifices form for function is always all right in my book. It's ugly in a good way.
Didn't Jack Nicholson use something like this at the end of Batman?
ReplyDelete;)

A real pachmayr. I bet it's a great shooter. And done with phenomonal workmanship
ReplyDeleteGranted it’s eclectic looking, but I’d like to shoot it.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, the attachment under the dust cover is a hood that fits on both sides of the gun. By means of a screw, forward of the trigger guard, it puts tension on the slide stop pin that holds the link. He also put a wide link in that causes the barrel to return to the same position after each shot. Repeatable, consistent, barrel movement each time a shot is fired.They were very accurate, even without the muzzle brake.
ReplyDeleteEven though that gun looks ugly to me, I don't know how to argue against it. It shows mechanical logic and pride of ownership. These are things I normally applaud no matter how lurid or unusual something is.
ReplyDeleteIt's an example of a full-house Pachmayr target gun, I believe for Bullseye competition. The piece under the dust cover is a slide tuner,lets the slide return to the same spot in battery every cycle. I'm thinking 1960's or 70's vintage. Ugly, but probably shoots like a champ.
