Doing the letters is a lot like growing up---first you crawl, then you walk, and THEN----YOU RUN!! Don's a runner now!
In the beginning--------------------------way back it was, 2017---maybe early 2018.
The gun is a 6" 2nd Model Single Shot. Now what's extra special about a 6" 2nd is that 6" business----there ain't a whole lot of them around!
Here comes the letter----from Don! Now that was new news all by itself---I didn't even know he had started doing letters, but there it was.
Now Don's Momma didn't raise no dumb kids, 'cause he knew the 6" business was THE main reason for a letter (Never mind I got a letter on every single gun.). I knew he knew because he apologized for not being able to confirm the barrel length.
I sat and stared, and fussed an fumed------and wondered----what to do----what could I do? Then, out of a clear blue sky, I learned Roy'd been out of town for a good while----and I had a thought. What the hell, it couldn't hurt! I ordered another letter on the same gun----and crossed my fingers!
Here comes letter #2---it's from Roy!! It says "The records indicate that this pistol was shipped with a 6" barrel, blue finish, and checkered black hard rubber grips. This was a special order for a single unit."
The Boss Lady surmised Don was likely doing the best he could picking up the slack while Roy was gone, but he had yet to learn about researching special orders for single units. I surmised it didn't make any difference, God was in his heaven, and all's right with the world!
