As Jack O'Neill would say: "Magnets."

There is a rare earth magnet inset in the wood under the butt of the revolver.

I sent one to someone at Colt. I was told everyone there thought it was pretty cool.

Actually there is a piece of wood glued to each side inside the grip frame.

Here's my new disassembly stand.

This is a prototype made of delrin. It should be a lot easier to keep clean.

I never have used it, it sits on top of my safe I guess old habits die hard, I still take down my pistols at the kitchen table or in my lap. It's a nice stand though. Mike

Dave, I like the Display Stand with the Challenge Coin that would Look Sweet with a COTEP Challenge Coin on it..............
