If it makes you feel better, about 30 years ago I bought a nickel plated Model 36 square butt, carried it for awhile, never could fall in love with that square butt, so I retired it. I bought it for $125 from an Oklahoma LEO. 1986, I think. In 1996, more or less, a retired LEO friend of mine opined he wanted a J-frame for his wife. "Really?"

I gave it to him.

So, see, the world moves around and around in happy little circles of giving....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
