On occasion I've carried a 1946 4" M&P and a 1950s Colt Detective Special ...............................

not as old as those mentioned.......... but they were my Dad's..... one of his uniform guns and his off duty/Captain's guns.

I took his "daily carry" from 1939 - about "196somthing"; 6" King's customized .357 Colt New Service to Alaska one summer when I was in law school..............
