Sentimental value? Here ya go....
1953 H&R Model 923, 9 shot .22 revolver.
This was my dad's from years and years ago. He was on an IBM business trip from upstate NY
and flew down to San Antonio, TX. He happened to walk into a drug store back then, and
believe it or not, the drug store even sold handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc... !! [8D] My dad saw
the little H&R revolver in a display case and asked about it. The clerk got it out and showed
it to my dad. The clerk also got a handgun of .22LR rounds and led my dad out back, outside
the drug store, where my dad tried out the .22 on some old paint cans. My dad liked it, so
he bought it for only $25 bucks. No background check, no paperwork, (receipt is long gone).
Then, if you can believe this... My dad flew home on the airplane back to NY with the revolver
at his side!
Imagine trying to do that in this day and age!!!
Gun laws are way to strict anymore. The goverment does it for a good cause but it's alot of trouble for nothing.
I also have a few more guns I want to name.
Two old army issue 7.64x54r, Winchester model 94 30-30, Winchester model 190 .22, a old Remington .22LR(Not sure of the model.
The Winchesters are my fathers.He is still using them.
The 7.62x54rs are mine they were passed down to me from my late grandfather.
