Nice pics Marc! Looks like the pistol on the right has wood grips? What is that? Looks good.

From here it looks like a Sig Sauer P239 SAS Gen 1: 2-Tone Wood DAK 9mm. If it is the SAS P239, it's a very good gun...used by the british SAS. My personal favorite guns are Sig Sauers.
I have a P220 .45 stainless that's currently being worked on by tjscustomgunworks.com. I'm getting competition sights, extended comp. barsto barrel, custom compensator, short trigger, and polishing of all internals including throat, barrel and feed ramp. I can't wait to get it back. She's going to be the pride and joy of my collection. I can't wait to get it back!!!!!!!

just a quick question/comment....
i never understood the reason for gun collecting. im not for or against it, honestly i could care less if you have a gun or not. but the main reason to have a gun i would imagine is to shoot it, right? do you use these guns or do they stay locked up in a cabinet where no one can see them? if anything i would at least display them so they can be appreciated but i always hear people have them locked away. i understand the safety factor of having them locked up, if you have kids they need to put away but then why have all this power (automatics and clips upon clips of rounds) anyway? is it to scare away intruders or do the majority of gun owners live in an area that you need to carry a grenade launcher? hunting rifles i can almost understand although i am against killing animals for fun. but at least you have a legit reason to carry a rifle. im not talking negativly here i really am interested in the answer.
