That's an awesome 36, and I'm happy for her.

Post 1,
Try to get us the serial number so we can estimate its date of birth/manufacture. Then we can be sure the subject handgun is in the correct sub-forum as the S&W revolver forums seem to use ~1980 as the dividing year.

My placement faux pas cost me a point...well done.

Good for her, hope someone can take her shooting

Awesome ball cap.

Yea, I haven't seen a reference to ludes in years.

She needs a Arnar-Stone (AS) tee shirt to go with the hat.

The tee shirt must be orange.

Better late than never. Get her some 148gr wadcutters. They only have a velocity of about 650fps making the recoil so much easier on the wrist but still plenty of stopping power in case of an intruder.

Kevin, don't worry about it. There always has to be one nitpicker to create a fuss. Remember if you don't get a "ding" every now and then, you are not trying hard enough

I've had several Fred, plus one 7 or 10 day vacation!
