A few years ago I felt the need for a versatile gun to use as a kit and carry gun. I had hunting guns, HD guns, a few guns that I could carry if need be but none that I felt could do a lot of things really well. Decided I wanted a gun about the size/feel of my birdshead .32 Single Six but DA and a shorter barrel. Toyed with the idea of a .380 like the Bersa's or Walther's but in my heart I wanted a 3" J-frame. Well as stated that was a few years ago and in many gun shops and gun shows I had never seen one other than the net. Off to the gun show this weekend, resigned to a .380. Table after table, trying to find the best deal, couple more tables to go when.........

It's not mint. Nice blueing but with some holster wear. $440 plus tax. The best thing was when we took it shooting. palm size groups at 15 yards offhand with cheap (relative) 130gr FMJ. The 40 yard steel plate wasn't much of a problem at all.

It was a good day!
