Old Friend

[JEM]

Went to a meeting this afternoon and was told by a friend he had something for me. Opened the box and there was my old service rev. a model 67 S&W. I had traded it to his father for a 742 Remington 34 years ago. He said that his father who has left us ,left a note to offer it back to me for $200. I immediately gave him the $200. I sure missed that gun glad its home.

That's awesome. Bet you don't let it get away from you again!
Still have my 66.

Seeing your duty rig made me remember a holster like that that is stashed at my house somewhere. The holster, along with the 4" Model 67-1 I just got should be a perfect match for one another. Unfortunately, the belt was for a younger, more svelte me, so I'll have to replace it.

Awesome. That is a great turn, those sound like mighty good people.
We should all be blessed with friends as good as them.
Enjoy your old friend!

Every time I handle this rig from my military days...

At least I can adjust this one (if I ever need to work C.S.C. again)

C'mon JEM, let's see that 67!
