Told the store owner my son was looking for a m36, and he pulled his former PD partners 36 from the safe in back.

1791 makes really nice IWB and a high ride OWB for the J’s

I get to go 3-5 times a week, consider myself lucky. But ammo is so expensive when you can find it, feeding the .22’s will allow me to continue to feed my need for range time. Here’s the Browning I bought when I turned 21.
