Could this be what gets Mom into shooting?
This morning, Mom made a fun discovery....
She was going through my late Dad's dresser drawer, when she found a leather pocket holster....
Inside was a top break hammerless 5 shot pocket revolver in .32 S&W, looked to be a 3" barrel, nice deep bluing, low profile grips, I couldn't find a manufacturer stamp or any identifying marks on it, I didn't have much time to inspect it though, as I was getting ready for work, I'll inspect it closer tonight
I asked her what she wanted to do with it...
She thought for a few moments, then said "I'll keep it in the dresser drawer for now, it looks like a nice little gun, funny that he never mentioned it before, he never told you about it?
Nope, first I heard about it, he never mentioned it to me....
Normally, Mom is pretty apathetic when it comes to guns, not an anti, but also not a hobbyist, they're just "things" to her, nothing special, take it or leave it
This is the first time she has expressed interest in holding on to a firearm at all, normally, the gun would be handed down to me, but something about this little revolver has struck a chord with her....
I fully intend to exploit it, if Dad's Secret .32 can get her into the hobby and into the RKBA mindset, so much the better....
Would I like to add it to my collection? Of course I would, it's a cool little gun, but I already inherited Dad's Single Six, Winchester '92, and Parker VH, I have the heirloom guns I want, adding the Secret .32 to my collection would just be too greedy for me, I'm not the materialistic type
I will, however use this as an excuse to pick up reloading dies and components in .32 S&W, I'll bet the Secret .32 would be quite fun with some Trailboss loads
