    To be honest, this doesn’t really do it for me? The beauty of the good sticks is in using them, which you can’t really do while they’re stuck on the wall :(

      But like, imagine walking into that room with your friend, and saying in a dramatic voice, “Choose!.. but choose wisely.” And then you both go outside with your sticks and you’re like pewpew pew

      While I agree, how would you use such sticks? And what about when you’re done using them? Couldn’t your store them on, let’s say, a wall?

        Play fighting, I guess? It’s been a while since I had a good stick in hand now that I think about it

        I guess, it just feels like they’re show pieces when presented like this. My first thought was to either just stick them (haha) in a pile on the floor, or to put them in like those cylindrical umbrella holders like a huge sheath!

      That’s a Colt 1911, pre-1924. One way to tell is the lack of the scallop to the sides of the trigger. Also, top of the grip safety doesn’t curve down much and the back of the grip is straight where post-1924 models had a bump on the mainspring cap.
