Handguns Descriptions

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.

Merwin Hulbert Second Model Frontier Army SA

The 2nd Model Frontier Army revolvers were manufactured between about 1878 and 1882. These desirable single action revolvers were an improvement on the initial Merwin, Hulbert & Company Frontier Army, with most of the changes being in the lock work design. The 2nd Models retained the scooped cylinder flutes and open top frame (without a top strap) of the 1st Model guns, and are highly sought after by collectors, especially those with the early production mottled orange and brown composite grips such as the ones seen on this example. The left side of the frame has no caliber marking under the cylinder, indicating the pistol is chambered for the .44 Merwin & Hulbert cartridge. The revolvers chambered for .44 Russian were marked Russian Model and the ones chambered in .44-40 were marked Caliber / Winchester 1873. The .44 Merwin & Hulbert cartridge was comparable to Smith & Wesson’s 44 American cartridge, but had a slightly longer case. The top of the 7 round barrel is marked: MERWIN HULBERT & C0. New York, U.S.A. Pat. Jan, 24. Apr. 21. Dec. 15. 74. Aug 3. 75. July 11. 76. Apr. 17. 77. Pat’s Mar. 6, 77. . The left side of the barrel is also marked in a single line: THE HOPKINS & ALLEN Manufacturing Co. Norwich, Conn. U.S.A. .
