I'm sorry about your cracked frame.

One of the first guns I bought back in the early 1970s was a brand new Model 12. I loved that revolver, but being young and stupid I either sold or traded it for something I "thought" I wanted more.

This past fall my local gun shop acquired a 1974 manufactured Model 12 that had some minor finish problems, but was otherwise in excellent condition.





Ah, for a time machine to return to those good old "Revolver Days"! Back then you could buy holsters that fit K-frame snubs perfectly, without going to a custom holster maker.



The above pictured Galco holster is a well-made, comfortable outside-the-waistband rig, but the holster is made to accomodate a longer barrel.

Nonetheless, my Model 12 is a treasured possession, and a reliable and accurate addition to my collection.
