Last weekend I held an I-frame .32 in my hand for the very first time.
It was like a piece of jewelry. So much smaller than my Model 60.
I've overlooked them in the past but I picked this one up and held it.
What I know about an I-frame and a .32 you could engrave on the head of a pin. But I felt myself getting that feeling I get right before I buy a "new" old gun. Man, it was beautiful.
I handed it back to the owner and ran, not walked, away as quickly as I could.
Tomorrow I'm going over to a pal's place to shoot my son-in-laws Beretta 92. We tore it down, cleaned and lubed it earlier this evening. Yeah, it is a beautiful pistol. The fit and finish is great and how can you argue with 16 rounds of 9mm? I had never held one before.
But guess what gun I had on my mind?
