I am 70 years old and started out with revolvers over 50 years ago. I carried revolvers on my guard jobs over 35 years. While they were only guard jobs I had to qualify as regularly with them as often as most police departments do. I have and still do own autos but I never was as fond or as familiar with them as revolvers. I probley have over two dozzen good DA revolvers to sort through to take with me on my outings. I do a lot of boondocking-trail rideing on our ATV. The gun that go`s with me the most is this old 1953 M&P. It`s as simple as it gets. Light to pack, I dont worry about scratching up my pythons or 27, and it`s this same gun that stays loaded in arms reach in the bed room. The exspendsive safe queens are locked in the safe. I wouldnt be surprised if some study was done and it was found that this gun held the most popular spot for a old time police revolver.
