Hello from S.E. Michigan

[RhinoDave]

I've been lurking for a little while now so I guess it's time to introduce myself. My primary area of interst is muzzleloaders but I do have a 3rd gen 5906 that I use for a nightstand weapon. Like a lot of other people, I am considering applying for my CPL and am currently researching for a good carry gun. My first introduction to S&Ws goes back to 1971 when I was taking combat aircrew training and had to qualify to carry a revolver as part of my survival gear. I wish I could remember exactly which Model it was ( I think it was an old Model 10), but I had no problems qualifying even though I had never shot one before. To this day, I still think about that revolver often wish I had bought one when they were a little more affordable for me. Looking forward to absorbing some of the wealth of knowledge on this board. Dave

Welcome from the U.P.
Could your gun have been a Model 15. The Air Force had a lot of them.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have requested to join the veterans group and with regards to the service revolvers, I think I qualified with a Model 10 before I went to Thailand but when I needed to check out a service revolver for missions, they were Model 15-2s. We didn't have weapons assigned, we just checked them out when flying. I was an Avionics and navigation tech and only flew when the systems decided to malfunction during preflight and taxi out. As beatup as those old B52-D models were, I pretty much flew missions every time I was on alert status.
