I haven’t started a thread in a long time, but on this Father’s Day I have been reminiscing a bit while I count my blessings. I found this old thing in the back of the safe.
It’s the first handgun I ever bought myself. A friend and I bought these Italian replica 1849 Colts , mail order, before we even had drivers licenses. In New Jersey no less!
That was a time when kids could buy .22 ammo at the local hardware store. My buddies and I rode our bikes to the county range to shoot our rifles.
It seems unbelievable now but things really were safer back then.
