We are deep into AZ Summer shorts pocket carry season so these are my daily go to guns.

I bought the Model 38 in '72 and 40 years later I picked up the LCP AZ Centennial model in 2012

Found a NIB Walther 'Lime Carbon' P22 in the back of the safe; got this way back in 2012. Funny how I could have misplaced this, huh?...

I actually love that but as I tell people, lime makes everything mo betta.

Digging further back in the gun safe today and found this little Browning BDA .380 ACP that I purchased way back in 1981. Very nice mid-size handgun that came w/double stack 13 round magazines. Still have the original box & manual somewhere. Beretta 84 .380 ACP is nearly the same gun, albeit having an exposed barrel like Beretta 92FS.

Maybe the wrong place but some might be interested. M Backes & sons made both fireworks and grenade launched flares in WWII.

(Candles inerted but are in great shape for age)

"Michael Backes owner of M. Backes and Sons in Wallingford, CT started in 1876 to manufacture backyard use caps and fireworks. This shop closed in 1962."
