Went to my LGS last week to pick up a new Shield and this little fella was in his used gun case. I couldn't leave without him.
Model 36-2, factory DAO in matte finish.
Here is another "J" frame, my Model 63, which I bought new back in the 1980s. Shipped from the factory July 1983. I bought the Bianchi Model 10L holster at the same time, and they travel in the side pocket of my travel bag (unless I'm flying, of course), wherever I go.
This is a great little gun, and lives up to its name, the "Kit Gun", as it has been a part of my "kit" since I bought it, those many years ago!! A lot of .22 has passed down that barrel.
This is my Model 649-2 that I bought new in 1996 and then "leant" to my sister about eight years ago. She was without a means of self protection at the time, and I gave her the Model 649-2 as well as a pristine Model 15-3. I just traded her a Model 638-3 for the 649, so it's once again back in my possession after a long absence.
