Default Happy Birthday to the Heavy Duty

I was perusing Bill's Heavy Duty website and noticed the first Heavy Duty was produced on 2 April, 1930.
Guess we should have an 84th birthday party.

I'd sing "Happy Birthday" but it would shut down the site for maintenance and repair. (smile)

Default Happy Birthday to one of the all time great work horse revolvers!

I didn't really appreciate HDs until,

A. I met Bill at a Market Hall Show in Dallas several years ago, and was exposed to, and amazed by his knowledge on these revolvers.

and,

B. I shot one!

To my way of thinking Bill, and the HDs are forever linked.

Let head to the party. Purty leather, check, plenty of ammo, check, and the star of the party check!.
