I like it. Good read. Thanks for writing that up.

My first guns were .22's but I had them when I was a kid and they were only truly "mine" for an hour now and then, during gun safety lessons followed by some shooting time on our property.

The first "defensive" handgun I owned was a very old Iver Johnson .32 S&W "short" revolver. It was a breech loader and I think it held five rounds. I asked my Pa if he had any ammo for it and he looked at me funny and asked if I was seriously planning to shoot the damn thing. He told me the best thing to do was to go throw it in a lake.

The frame's hinge was very sloppy. The one time I fired it, it shaved the bullets -- at least, it shaved the ones it struck well enough to fire. It now rests somewhere on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where it cannot tempt any more dumb people to try and shoot it.

Or maybe it was his lack of cleaning that could have got him killed - just sayin'.

Good story, ending with him having 2 handguns both of which may be clean but both untried. ????? Hope they work if and when he might need them.

if your referring to my post... yeah.. well I tried to be nice :) I'm pretty sarcastic off line as well :) sometimes it gets me in trouble too at work. I always use it in light of things. I say what I want to say without really saying it

It had paragraphs before it was copied and pasted. Do you think that I typed all of that on site?!!!!!!!!!!

They work. Revolvers don't jam! Damn! That little Ruger LCP sits here, loaded, atop my living-room end table, close enough to the front door.

I am becoming a gun lover and am buying them to keep all calibers covered! I even have a Hi-Point 9mm...to go with that old but loaded sloppy-slide 1911 Colt .45 inside my night stand with a plan.

I am not about to put my faith in a gun that has been neither fired nor cleaned for 3 decades. Not in a cheap one, and not in an expensive one. Who knows what crap has accumulated in the innards, or how badly the oil has turned to snot.

You can't blame the gun for your neglect.
