    Class of 86 (Idaho Falls High School) and Class of 90 (Boise State University). Dad was Idaho State Police (1973-1994). In 1989 ISP celebrated it's 50th Anniversary. S&W made a limited run of commemorative 686 revolvers for the Troopers. Dad purchased one (the wood box came with it) and it became mine when he died in 2016. This one was actually made and shipped from the factory in October 88. I think the expression "Awsome Dude!" works.

    There are a number of guns from the `80s that I've wanted for years. So, about two years ago, I was fixing to move back east. I walked into one of the local gun shops and found this:

    686-1 that has the "M" modification.

    I almost broke my arm getting out my credit card. Sure, I could have run off to the ATM for cash and saved 3%, but some years ago, I had gone into the store and there was a really nice 10-5 for $275. The clerk told me that some other dude wanted it, but he went home for his checkbook. I asked if he had put down a deposit. They said no. Out came my credit card....

    I know what you are talking about. A couple years ago I came across this old warhorse and I knew that I wasn't going to go home without it. Out came the old plastic and the classic cry of "Charge!" was heard.

    NICE!!!

    I have a "shaved" Webley that my dad bought. I fired it one range session and that's it. Turns out that firing .45 ACPs through one is A Bad Thing.

    Yes a bad thing indeed. I couldn't believe my luck when I found this one and still in 455 Webley. No importer stamp and in addition to the British proof marks it also has New Zealand markings. If only it could talk.
