House is on fire.............

[Dalan]

Dammit!

I said the model ten. I changed my mind. While I put my first choice back, and took #2, I changed my mind... Again.

Meanwhile, Rome burned while I fiddled around, trying to figure it. Along with my ashes, there are some heat treated guns, needing new grips. Make some offers. The issue of what to do with the carcass is NO longer a problem.

The two guns that I inherited that are laying right next to each other in my drawer: my father's 2 3/4 inch Security Six that he carried for years and years, and my foster father's M1911A1 that he carried during WWII

The reason I have the safe I do is to eliminate any hesitation about leaving a burning house trying to determine which gun to rescue. All of them should survive. This is a variation of the question, "Which one do you like the best?". Which one of my kids would I save? Or which one of my dogs? Too many variables to give a specific answer. This is best discussed over a dram of Whisky.

I'm with you.....a wee dram always makes a guns / dogs discussion better! As for the kids, I'm an empty-nester and they are all over 21 years old....they can start looking out for me!!

Like most everyone else, I'd grab the piece on the nightstand.....usually a 638 or 649, depending on the swap.....but I'd risk getting burned to rescue this one:



It was my Grandfather's when he was a policeman in Romania before coming here, then Dad's when he went to WW II, now mine.....the sentimental value would be too great a loss.

For a family gun that 'has been there' that is in outstanding condition.
