Another request for advice on a model 36

[pineappleshooter]

Mine has 90% + finish and lock us tight as a drum. A few scratches here and there and a little holster wear. They ask $300 at my LGS and I got it out the door for $250.

If you don't want to carry it - put it away and buy a used 36 or some other J frame and carry it instead.

Keep it, shoot it, carry it. I think that's what he would have wanted.

Very nice story and gun.

Keep it! As stated above, it's a link to your family's history.
I'd print a copy of your original post and store it with the
box for the gun. As far as shooting is concerned, I practice
with an Airweight ans plink with a Model 36. After shooting
an Airweight, the 36 is an easy recoiling gun. Accuracy at
ranges up to 25 yards is quite good. Wadcutters are pretty
much fun to shoot. Hang on to your piece of history. TACC1

You will do well to hang on to that little piece of personal history. No need to trade it for something just like it. That one is fine.
I'm not a big J frame guy, but that one is special to you and is a tangeable relic of a guy who was very special to you.
