About 35 years ago I got my first detective badge and along with it came an old skinny-barrel Dick Special. I qualified with it next day and while it shot OK, I kept packing my 4" Speed Six and used the DS as a backup. A couple of months later, myself and a friend were checking deer stands. I had the DS along and we rolled a few walnuts out on a pond that had a skiff of ice on it. We were amazed to discover we could bust a walnut at 30-40 feet if we held carefully and finessed the trigger like any other revolver you were trying to shoot really well.
I've had a soft spot for old-school Detective Specials/Agents ever since.
