hope you get your Grandfather's Colt --- if not I hope you buy one somewhere else. You won't be sorry.

I've carried a S&W Kit Gun (a .22) for a zillion miles on foot, horseback, 4 wheeler, tractor, mower and motorcycle. I carried it Elk hunting for probably 20 years.

Over the decades, it's killed Coyote, Jack and Cottontail Rabbit, Skunk, Porcupine, Blue and Spruce Grouse, Raccoon, Squirrels, Ground Squirrels, Rattlesnakes, Pack Rats and I can't remember what else. I carry a tough little Ruger BearCat around the farm even today.
