Old Dirty Guns
Everybody knows I just love old dirty guns that are destined for the parts bin. They were used abused and still answered the call to duty. Most were carried daily, some 24 hours a day, passed from shift to shift as prison guns, etc. I believe this is one of them. They collected dirt and muck in all kinds of weather, rarely fired, rarely cleaned but, showed the slickness of holster and leather rub. Your triple lock is head and shoulders above this old 44 S&W Special that came to me via a Jackson, MS gun show a number of years ago. I thought long and hard before I laid down my $200 for it. I did the same thing that you did to the old TL. A few minor parts, fixed the timing and she was ready for duty. I did not re-finish it but left her with the badge of courage for all to see. She shoots as good as the day she left S&W. Now that you have saved an old timer it will not be your last!!!
