In my youthful stupidity, I drew the 29 and left my Duty Gun Model 59 holstered. The look on the Deputy’s face was priceless. But it was topped by the look on the face of the burglar when I came face to face. The Deputy and I still joke about it a couple of decades later....

Now that gun and that story should be in a law enforcement museum being handled by guys wearing white gloves someday .
