It hurts my heart to read this.

In 1990, I had to sell my beloved .41 S&W, because I had just retired, had no job yet, and a new baby.

She needed diapers (and a mortgage payment and an electric bill and food and, well, you know) more than I needed the gun...but I have missed that gun nearly every day since.

I related the story to my daughter a couple of years ago, and she has made several attempts at finding me another one.

(She's pretty darned well off, now, 26 years later.)

No luck with a decent gun for a decent price.

Plenty of them out there, just overpriced or overused for the price.

Oh, well...not the first one I had to give up...but it was damned sure the last one.

I have a S&W Bodyguard, which an absolute dog, but I will not trade it or sell it and it is the only one of my guns that I truly can not stand to shoot.

But, nowadays, once a gun comes into my house, it is here for good.

Anybody know any strays that need a good home?
