I flew down to Yuma, AZ for a week vacation and to celebrate dad's 70th birthday with him and my mom.
At his birthday party, my uncle presented him with a special gift; a S&W Model M19-2, which was dad's first service revolver as a patrolman back in the 70's.
He carried it for a lot of years, then had to sell it to my uncle to pay for my younger brother's medical bills in the early 90's. My uncle kept it for all those years and never fired it. He gifted it back to my dad for his birthday.
It showed a LOT of wear, but the action was still smooth and the fit and finish of those old Smiths was impressive.
Just thought I'd share...
