In 1970 I was in graduate school in Texas. The duplex I had rented was not in the best neighborhood. After a couple of late night incidents, I decided to get armed. The only thing I could afford was a $35 HS Durango at a Gibsons. Several years later, I got into BE.shooting and bought a HS Supermatic Trophy (106) with the 7 1/2" fluted barrel. Still have both guns.
