I always carry around a little S&W Airweight and it serves its purpose for concealed carry.
I was talking to my father in law about maybe selling my glock that i rarely shoot to get a new .357 like the Ruger GP-100. He asked if maybe I wanted save my money and hang on to his old Highway Patrolman. I jumped at it of course. It used to belong to a family friend of theirs who worked for Texas DPS for a long long time. The side of the gun is marked with DPS and some numbers. The serial number is N14704 which i think makes it 1970-1972 ish? Is that right?
Just wanted to share this "little" guy. He's maybe not as pretty as a brand new stainless Ruger. But this is a working gun that's been used in the field and will continue to be used. I'm super stoked.
Also, check out that grip! The wood is no nice looking. There are no markings on the grip so I don't know who made it or if it was custom or what.
