My 2nd mouse gun arrived.

Cute little 1919 Vest pocket pistol followed me home via the USPS mail and my FFL fellow yesterday.

Steering clear of the wife for a few days. :)

In reality its was a low bid in a Rock Island Auction that I put down in Feb or Mar (don't recall) and the Auction was held April 29th.

It's really in superb condition for 97 years old. There is one blemish of the left side of the slide beneath the stamped patent number.

Sorry for the cell phone pics, lazy this morning.

Where I live a roach gun would see more use than a mouse gun.

Nice choices

I just purchased a Benelli M-2 field gun.

Nice choice! What are your intentions with this shotgun? Birds? Waterfowl? Home defense?

My Remington Model 1100 semi auto does not have the reliability of a Benelli in the field. I was sitting on a goose blind a few years back in -10 deg and the venerable Remington let me down with a FTE followed closely by a FTF.
