picked this up yesterday for my ten year old grandson,he is really getting into shooting handguns and flintlocks with me. he can shoot my Taurus .44 magnum but it is a bit much for him,i thought this .357 would be about right for him. he is pretty excited about getting to shoot it tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

I'd be excited to shoot it too! That'll do nicely!

Nice score! I've been lookin' for one of those for a while. I have the 45 Colt variety and love it. Enjoy.


Rod, too.

he really likes to squirrel hunt and wants a .22 revolver to hunt them with so I am going to sell my S&W .22A and see if I cant find him a Ruger single six,should be perfect for him.

It'll be the start for an addiction! He'll get great practice and hunting skills with the SS and squirrels.
