Been shooting since late 50's as grew up on a farm. Dad collected Colts in the 30's-50's but no Smiths. First revolver shot was 1877 Colt Lightening in .38 Colt, then on to 1873 45 Colt. Army in early 70's, RVN where we got to shoot lots of weapons. Home and got on AMTU team shooting 1911's. Older Sgt's had Mdl 52's and 41 Smiths, fantastic shooting. Ran indoor range out of Army then into machine tool repair. First Smith was Mdl 19 6" which still have. Have had many Mdl Smiths over the years, had to let the big mags go due to nerve damage in hands and arms. Enjoy .38's, , few 357's and 45 ACP. Knew about this forum but just never joined til now, thanks for opportunity to join.
