Bought a new original Bearcat for $37.50 back in the late 60's and couldn't hit a thing with it. Sold it to a kid in the dorm for $37.00 and thought it was a good deal. Never much liked the cowboy style guns after that. We were shooting lots of barn pigeons back in those days and while that improved cylinder 12 gauge hit everything, lots of the time stuff needed more shooting once we caught up with it. I packed around a K22 for a while, but a K frame weighed more than I thought it should for just a .22. A M34 4" J-frame was and is perfect with those adjustable sights and bigger Herrett grips. That 34 was smoother than any 63 that I tried, so I Armaloy plated that 34 and it looks just like a 63 only smoother.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
