Bill,

Do you have one for every day of the year? Remember Christmas is coming. I think you have my address. It is already boxed, so all you have to do is wrap it!

Doc, is there no end?
How about taking a picture of your whole S&W collection for Christmas for the forum, or do you have do it from a plane to fit them all in?
Great looking gun again.

The space shuttle would be more like it.

I am still looking forward to Doc's book on these tools of history.

I figured I was probably the youngest regular in the revolver section. You've got me beat by a day less than 2 years, though.

I've been bombed on that date plenty of times. My favorite artillery is the CR-750 (750 mL of Crown Royal).
