My grandfather took me for my first haircuts. I remember sitting on the board they put across the arm rests. The barbers name was Woody. He had a wooden leg and would drop coins, tip money I guess, into a hole in the prosthesis. That trick kind of creeped me out but I enjoyed the trip to the...

Congrats. My seven shooter is a weapon and not a museum piece. I've never had an issue with the lock. The only holes I'm concerned with are at the target.
