Let's see some Zootshooter firearms!

[Alvin Karpis]

I, for one, would like to see some of the guns that the Zootshooters from around the country use in their matches. I haven't been lucky enough to attend a match yet but I'll start with what I would use under the current rules.

Maybe my New Service with 4 1/2 inch barrel in 38 wcf caliber with my Remington model 14 1/2R carbine in matching caliber?

[Alvin Karpis]

Or if the rules change then maybe a 351 Winchester with some original 10-round mags and a 1925 era 1911 as a combo?

Those sure are some purty weapons, AK.......I'm fond of that 1911...

Neat pics guys! There were some truly lovely firearms in that era. Anything John Browning touched was beautiful in my eyes.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm surprised that no one else wants to share? I've got some more - how about these for a change of pace? Snub nose 38 with ivory grips and a Remington model 11 riot (I know there are no shotguns in Zootshooting but I still have hope).



Or a 1902 Colt Military in 38 acp?

Very nice Alvin! I'd share my Zoot Shooters' guns but it'd look like an Auto-Ordnance ad

Just picked this up Colt 1911 .45 ACP, Factory Nickel with (Pre Ivory Ban) Elephant Ivory grips:

Very nice beautiful 1911. The Ivory grips really set it off.

Contrary to Hollywood, no belt fed machineguns.
