I was in Upstate New York for two years in the late 70's early 80's. Our landlady knew I liked guns, so she brought down a box from the attic and showed me her late husbands Savage in .380. She wanted to "Gift" it to me, but I made out a bill of sale and gave her $1 for it, so I could ship it back home to Utah. Still have it today, and it is a hoot to shoot. Now shooting a cottonmouth on the trail with it at more than a foot, may be stretching the truth a bit!
