I swapped my original sights out for the Hi-Vis.....just couldn't learn to like them. Went back to the standard. Accuracy at 25 yards is minute of pop can.....won't win any matches , but this S&W goes everywhere unnoticed

That picture brings back some good memories. My dad bought his Ruger auto in 1962 for I believe $32.50. It also lives in a Hunter holster. He has told me that it will be mine when he is through using it. He is 97 years old now and I hope I don't get it any time soon.

It was light to carry for sure
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

It was light to carry for sure I am pretty sure mine weighs less than my car keys. My only complaint on the 317 is that they are expensive and the finish comes off at a harsh word.

Smith sure doesn't give them away and that is for sure.

These two S&W's have been the "Best" for me. Truth be known they have dispatched more critters around the home and camp than on the trail cause they are handy to keep close. The Kit Gun fits nice in a rear jean pocket if need be. I had a Woodsman that went down the road as part of a 1911 trade that I should replace. ![[Linked Image]](http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/woods-walker/IMG_1916_zpsndasxrm4.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/woods-walker/IMG_1917_zps00y4sqqj.jpg)

Lots of good stories and some cool guns shown.
I also shoot the K frame guns better, but prefer to use the J frames for a trail gun.
And for a trail/trapping gun story:
I used to work with a guy name of Robert. His brother, and all his close friends called him Nick. I asked him one day why they called him Nick.
Seems he used to run a trap line with a ruger mkI stuffed in the front of his pants. But no more.
He said his wife was an ER nurse on duty when they carried him in. She fainted and fell to the floor.
We didn't discuss the difference between the .22lr and the .22 mag, but he did say he was glad it wasn't a .44...

The 4" pre-Woodsman is what my late dad used. My first 22 pistol and current favorite is my 6" pre-Woodsman. Since they have no outside hammer I can carry mine in my back pocket chamber empty. If I pull my shirt out or have a jacket on it conceals it. For longer shots I steady it's barrel by holding it in front of the trigger guard with my thumb and forefinger, ![[Linked Image]](http://www.rockislandauction.com/photos/54/p_standard/FLP46-Z-F1-H.jpg)
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Got the Mark II, Mark III and the Walther P-22 in the box to take for a little range therapy after work tomorrow.
Didn't get to shoot any this weekend, may as well throw the Taurus 2" snubby in as well.
