You hit it right on the head, as another one born in the '50s and growing up in the '60s & '70s THE gun was the 29. It's the first revolver I wanted to buy but I was way behind the curve on finding one thanks to Dirty Harry. So, I settled and bought a brand new Colt SSA (another gun I wish I still had) but it still wasn't a 29.

The Colt had to be the number TWO gun to get thanks to all the westerns we watched and another cop, Matt Dillon.
