^^^ good idea !!

My friend never took factory rubber grips off his 642 that he wears IWB under his shirt at Barber Shop. He asked me to clean it. Sorry…. Beyond a cleaning / polish at this point.

I love provenance stories, as if the gun can talk.

Great story & welcome home. I love the M-10, especially the dash 5 & 7 as I can see the front sight. While they are old school I've never felt under gunned with one.

I have a 638 that I bought at a local pawn shop 6-8 years ago. The previous owner had had it for years according to my pawn guy. He never carried it in a holster just tucked it into the back of his pants. It has lost better than 90% of its finish but still shoots great. I have thought about sending it in but it isn't hurting the function and it is a daily carry. It's ugly but honest. Not leaving me until one of my boys gets it. I clean it regularly.

Great story, also have been shooting your ammo in my 32’s. I have been having hand and elbow problems the last few years and the 32’s are very easy shooters.
