Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

Like the great Don Bathe, my first firearms advisor.

His AR was deemed illegal and so was his sawed-off shotgun.
He sold his house at the height of the real estate bubble and moved from Santa Maria to the Scottsdale area in AZ.

His very first lesson: 'There are two kinds of revolvers. Single Action & Double Action revolvers'.
That's when I knew I was born to own a Smith & Wesson. :lol:

Smith and Wessons are nice! The first firearm that I purchased was a Smith and Wesson, and I was in San Diego. It was a model 65. The Next Smith and Wesson that I bought was a model 360. And, my wife keep telling me how much she likes it, even after she purchased a Ruger LCR 38 Special +P. Yet, I have no plans of letting her have it.

If I could have only 1 gun, this would be it. Without a second thought.

Nice! I can understand. This is the first one that I bought over 30 years ago, and I still like it.

^^^ looks great! What is the model designation on it?
It looks like a K-frame, but I might be wrong. :P
