Both my parents get credit as they both taught me to hunt. Naturally this involved learning how to shoot rifles and shotguns.

When it comes to handguns I would have to give the nod to my Mom. Don't get me wrong, my Dad has his share of handguns too. His thing is that he likes to hunt with older rifles. His latest hunting rifle is a 50's era Savage 99F in .300 savage with a Weaver 4x from the same era as the rifle.

My Mom shares my interest in handguns not just as tools but also from the collecting side. Even now she is my sidekick in collecting Pre-Victory and Victory models.

I have to share this about her. You know what she wants for Christmas? A floral carved shoulder holster for her S&W 66-2 with 2 1/2" barrel. Yep, I've already got it packed away waiting for 12-25!
