as wee hooker get a ruger and have a smith do trigger job or install aftermarket and bead front sight.
hell-for-stout built.
I went diveing in 10' of cold mountain stream river one november day when I was younger man and flipped my canoe when spaniel jumped out. lost my pistol in the scramble after I flipped. now I know why kayakers wear helmets I took a substantial 'whack' to the noggin from the canoe's aluminum gunwale. but got canoe and most gear on bank - I had a lashing to my pack and paddle so got a large fire going after I got the canoe aright and de-watered. I stripped off and went diveing to get that pistol. took me several dives I was near to turn blue. got it and when I got to the bank I swirled it around in the cleaner water after I pulled the mag and cleared a cartridge. slung the water off it and checked the barrel, loaded and it FIRED. mof shot couple squacks and a grey fox going to my take-out landing.
I love the 41's though.
