Ken,
<br>
<br>Interestng post. Also interesting is how people react to similar circumstances. In 20 years as a deputy sheriff a number of people with whom I was friends or had some asquaintance (all lawmen in central Indiana) died in the performance of their duty--all by handguns.
<br>
<br>One, my best friend and brother-in-law, was killed in a gun fight at which I unfortunate enough to attend. I suppose I should have lost my hobby interest in the one-hand firearm long ago but I didn't.
<br>
<br>Now you've got me thinking. I have the S&W M10's that Jim and I were carrying that night in 1970. Those particular firearms bring back sad memories. As does his M36.
<br>
<br>But I look at the Kimber Super Match and the PC S&W M627-5 8-shooter and a few others still earning a living as entertainers and I have no sadness. Just a joy at owning fine tools and being fairly competent in using them.
<br>
<br>Thanks for the fine post.
