I had an old High Standard Double Nine variant, called the "Marshal" with a 5.5" barrel and plastic-fake-stag grips. Dad used it when he was trapping coons and such who were bothering his chickens.
It was really too light, it had an alloy frame, and nine holes in the cylinder, so it was sorta hard to shoot well, but it really would shoot if you knuckled down and squeezed the rough trigger.
I think Dad paid about $70 bucks for it, when he bought it for my 16th Christmas. I left it with him while I was off in the Army, and he got some good use out of it.
It was stolen about 15 years ago. I miss it, it was fun to shoot.
