A brace of revolvers too beautiful to shoot.
Wouldn't want to make cylinder drag lines.
And look on the bright side.
You have one for each eye.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
Years ago I had a 4 inch Model 28 and loved it . I took the grips to a German custom cabinet maker in town . He had a prosthetic leg and asked him if he could duplicate the right side like the left side thumb rest . He told me had not touched a firearm since WW2 and he lost his leg in the battle of Moscow . I was terribly upset that I brought up so much pain in his life . He smiled at me and told me to come back in a week . When I stopped in the the grips were identical , he refused to charge me , said he did it to help a young man in need . It was my sidearm for armed security work . I will never forget his kindness . Dan

Paul, you're a big girl's blouse!
When I come over to see you I'll want to shoot it, for sure.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
He told me he was left behind during the battle and a Russian woman saved his life keeping him warm in a barn until he was found . His work was impeccable. We had in our area exGerman soldiers move to central Illinois. I worked with three of them at Cat . It was interesting to hear from the other side their experiences . Some very sad .MacLaren wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 10:59 amWow!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 10:05 amYears ago I had a 4 inch Model 28 and loved it .

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
Wow Dan, I'll bet that was so interesting to listen to those guys. Reminds me of a friend of my dad's. He was in WWII as well. He was also in a German Prison Camp (POW) - he said he would've starved to death had he not been a Mason. One evening he flashed a sign and lo and behold the German Officer was a Mason as well. He then kept him alive on potato peelings. He further said he had nightmares about what the Russians did to the Germans at the close of the war. Man, you gotta know it went down like that too. Aa many millions upon million of Russians that the Germans killed during WWII, there was a true hatred the Soviets had towards the Germans.
I often wonder how things would've turned out had Hitler not used up so much time and effort on trying to take Moscow. I don't think people realize just how many Russians died during WWII.
Oh, one other thing. Another WWII vet that we knew, told us that the there has never been a finer Soldier than that of the German Soldier of WWII.
Now, don't take that the wrong way. What he meant was the overall appearance and attitude- and they would fight like ****, never give up - he said they were just amazing.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
Paul , Son-in-law was training on his job in fiber optics and found these grapeshot at site of battle . The canister was also there in pieces . Must have been abandoned during battle . Thought you like to see this bit of history given to me today . Dan
