This is a call for those of you with cheap revolvers that you picked up and never got rid of to now post photos here!
Yeah, I know "Saturday Night Specials" is a queer term, but let's face it, we all have, at one time or another, picked up guns for one reason or another that have been somewhat less than premium quality.
My second handgun was this RG Model 66 chrome-plated .22LR.
Reason I got it: My first handgun, a Ruger Security-Six, was too expensive to shoot and the 66 had the same "look and feel" as the cowboy pistol my mother bought me when I was six.
Reason I kept it: It was so cheap I didn't have to worry about leaving it in the car and around my college apartment. I could buy two boxes of ammo and take it up in the canyons to shoot. I had to tighten the grips every time I cleaned it, but it worked for a long time...until I could afford a Ruger Mark I blued pistol.
If you have photos of any of the guns you once used or abused, cursed or cherished, please tell your story and show a photo of your gun.
Did you have any guns you personally had to destroy they were so bad? Do you have any that you kept as fishing "kit" guns just to shoot tin cans with?
Let's hear your stories and see your photos!
You may have seen this already, as I've posted it several times before,
but it's one reason I went on to buy a Ruger Single-Six. It gave me a
lasting appreciation of single action revolvers!
