Does anyone make a vise thats easy to use on pistols, that is similar to the ones made for cleaning rifles?

I use a Black and Decker Workmate (table top version) that I bought at a garage sale for cheap. The jaws are plastic and have not harmed my Contender yet. I clamp the barrel and it holds very steady for cleaning, scope mounting or whatever.

Jim;

I use an old set of ski vises. Rubber coating on the jaws, easily moved, mount just about anywhere. The real problem may be finding a pair in Iowa. At a garage sale in a ski town, they're cheap & not too hard to find. Might take a look at E-bay. Search for Toko or Swix ski vises.

I found one. A local gun shop was getting rid of componets and every thing but guns and ammo for 40% off. Pistol cleaning vise by gun pro products in taylor, il. They were happy to get rid of it. Starting price was $65 and they marked it down twice before the sale, $20 and change. I wouldnt pay $65 for that, use a vice with leather pads before. Thanks for your reply's.
