This dainty little S&W Model 36............
I was sort of looking for a good little .38. One day, at the range, I mentioned this fact to a friend of mine. He told me he had just traded one in at a local gun shop. I think I left him standing there in mid sentence.......I immediately hied there and bought this gun.
Well, I kept it and put maybe a few hundred rounds through it. One day my gunsmith called me and told me of the death of my friend, who had also been his father-in-law.
As time went by, Christmas approached and he was pondering what to give his wife for Christmas. Being in a generous mood, I suggested this little .38, as it had been her father's gun. He welcomed the suggestion, and I sold him the gun for a mite of a profit, which was still a fair price.
He told me after the Christmas holidays that his wife really appreciated the gun, even to the point of tears welling up in her eyes at times, recalling it as a memento of her Dad.
