Charlene shooting his 1903 Pocket Hammerless on it's 100th birthday

I thought I should get these pics in before 2012. This was last July. Charlene took his 1911 manufactured 1903 Pocket Hammerless out to celebrate it's 100th birthday. He shot a brand new box of ammo that was probably as old as the gun.

That's awesome. I enjoy seeing firearms like this still being put to good use. Thanks for posting these, Twaits. Any pictures of his groups?

Very nice, and I agree that shooting the classics is a great thing.

Great stuff guys

Did you really shoot the ammo ? If yes , I'm surprised it all fired . Also , the primers most likely contained mercury . Make sure you give it a good cleaning .
