    If all goes well..................

    Wednesday should be the day I purchase a new SP101 in 357 2.25" version. My son, is home on leave from the 173d Airborne Brigade in Italy, and he has been thinking AR-15,even though he can't have one overseas. I think it'll just be a Ruger Revolver day though. Fine by me..new gun,son home...great stuff!

    Cool

    Glad your son is on the way home.

    Thank him for his service from us at the DC forum.

    You will love your SP-101. I sure love mine.

    A little more eye candy for you until you can post your own.

    Congrats on both of your homecomings.
