Ha! Don't make me laugh. When it comes to comparing guns to wimmins and how many we have "had" I would be called a slut fer sure!

But I do remember my first. :heart::heart: A gorgeous Smith & Wesson model 13, pinned and recessed, 3 inch round butt in a beautiful glossy blue finish with flawless magna wood stocks and a Tyler T-grip.

She was a loaner from my uncle Gerb, who bought it brand new and never fired a single round thru it.

What a beauty!

Yeah, I know. What I say next may be very offensive to most of you. I can not, WILL NOT be held responsible to any type of damage to computer keyboards, monitors or other equipment. Nor will I be liable for certain utterings of profanity or subsequent violent outburts or action that may result following my next statement.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I had a chance to buy that revolver from my uncle Gerb for...




Wait for it...




Oh the humanity...




$200 American dollars, and I turned him down. :faint:

I missed a NICE model 14 with a 6.5" barrel at the pawn shop in Stillwater for $350, less than 10 years ago, because I'd never heard of the model 14. It was gone the next day. :(

I thought that was a lot of moolah, too, when I was a teenager.

That was kinda my feelings too...back then (1989).

I turned him down because being a uniform cop, out in the weather all the time, I figured a stainless steel service revolver would serve me better.

So, I returned the model 13 to me uncle and purchased a S&W model 681 for $350 from the Big Red Pawn Shop in Shawnee.

My first was a Winchester Model 189? pump in .22 short,,,
I got it for $5.00 at a farm auction back around 1960-ish or so.

When I looked at it I would have sworn it had the magazine rod,,,
But after Dad went to get it after I won the bidding,,,
The rod was missing so it was a single-shot.

Pop (many years later) admitted that he took the rod and tossed it,,,
He was adamant that I only owned a single-shot rifle,,,
I had the gun until I went into the service in 1970.

Dang but that was a precise shooting little rifle,,,
Literally hundreds of county dump rats met their maker due to it.

On leave between Tech School and my assignment to Germany,,,
I gave the rifle to my baby brother.

My other brother told me he traded it for a bag of weed within a month of me leaving,,,
It's a good thing I was on another continent with an ocean between us,,,
I might have throttled the ungrateful snot on the spot.

Oh well,,,
