My first handgun was a 6" Ruger 22 automatic and a Hunter holster. I finally got it paid off before my 15th birthday. Mom had to sign the papers about a week after I picked it up at the LGS. I carried it home on the school bus. While showing it around the driver asked me if it was unloaded and then asked to look at it. Ah the good old days. After a decade of abuse I gave it to a friend. About a year ago, 35 years later, he gave it back. After that handgun I bought a 200th anniversary Security Six with a 6" tube. Being a fan of Keith I as well put copious amounts of 2400 behind a 158 grain swc. I used that combo to sort out a wounded bear in his den. Never felt under gunned.
