Hang with me here for a second. I inherited the last firearm my dad owned, a no dash 686 he bought new (we have the box, all papers, tools, receipt). He had it slightly worked over to meet his requirements/desires.

My sons were 3 & 7 when my dad passed away & that 686 was the first centerfire handgun they shot. It has given us many fun times at the range in the past almost 20 years. It now resides with my older son & goes to the range on the rare times he has to go shooting.

They both still refer to it as "Grandpa's gun". I'd say shoot that 39 & continue to pass it on through the family.
