A few weeks back there was a post, by myself, that asked for advise on a revolver for a Christmas present from my daughters/family to me....They ask me what I wanted for a revolver, and I asked you fellers...
Well, I asked a few questions, got a few answers, and told the family I wanted a Colt 1860 .44 Revolver for my present.
Being the considerate father I am I didn't want to put my daughters...the main instigators of this scheme...at any hardship at this time of year, as I would greatly prefer they spent the money on my grandkids.
Well, come Christmas..at my oldest daughter's house, it was time to open presents, but there was only one little present for grandpa...and I thought that was just fine. No problem at all. I was very happy with my present. Time went on, and as I thought we were about ready to leave, the girls called me back and said they had found something for me, that had actually been last years present, and wasn't sure if I still wanted it or not.
So, I opened it....and low & behold..... it now resides (secured) in my gun cabinet...
The reason I didn't get the revolver last year is because it was being engraved for the last ten months....I guess they got it back in September.
Many of you suggested the Old Army Ruger but I thought it would be too expensive for my daughters to shell out that much money....and I was thinking about a "Plain Jane" Ruger in blue...duh! Ya gotta love two girls who think like this!
