This is what I carried "without permission" when i was in my twenties, about 50 years ago. (I'm 75 now). after about two years, I bought and carried a Mod 38. Later for years I used a lightweight Walther PPK. Now here in Nebraska, I have "permission" with my CCW. I carry mostly a 342PD. Practice usually with a 442. For practice, handloads Lyman 358156 & 3.5 bullseye. Carry with factory Speer 135gr GDHP.

It's amazing how we come full circle to the one's we trusted the most isn't it?

Maybe you should go back to your youth. That is still a perfectly good defensive weapon, safe to carry, and effective with 158gr loads, preferably SWC. The sights are a bit narrow, but you are probably used to them. I know I am.

I wish you would talk my dad into getting a computer - he's 73 and brags about being "computer free" - I like your comment about permission . . . I understand.

What a fine old revolver, comforting.

Beautiful gun! I wish I could find one just like that.
