My 90 year old mentor/ friend has a slew of neat vintage pistols, and when he asked me which I would like to have some day I replied " the .34/44 Smith". (Well, that and the Walther PP .22 Sport 6" barrel. Google it.) It seems when graduated college in '52 he went West from Queens, NY, and took a job as a ranch hand. Straight into some Wyoming town or another he went to outfit himself. In the emporium he bought a Stetson, boots, and the .38/44 - and walked out wearing all three. It's a sweet shooter.
