Default Recent appreciation of Smith & Wesson

As a young kid I was around long guns thanks to my father and grandfather. When I was 8 my father was transferred to the big city and there was no more time. Jump ahead 45 years and I've recently acquired a few semi-autos for no real reason. Empty nester, seemed like a fun thing to do. My 84 year old former LEO father-in-law recently dropped a 66-3 snub from his collection in my lap. It was like the Angels were singing.
