Started out with a Model 19 in my twenties. Sometimes I've strayed and packed the Colt Government Model .45ACP. Own quite a few from different eras and love shooting/collecting them,(picking up brass- not so much).But I've always come around full circle to the revolver. Either a 4" Model 10, 19, 24, or 28, or a 2"/2.5" 10, 19, 66 or 3" 24. I kinda tailor the revolver to the activity/mission so to speak. Now pushing 47, doubt I'll ever change.
