My first pistol was a Colt Frontier Scout. I was in 9th grade. The guy at the outfitter wouldnt sell it to me, so my father took my cash and bought it for me. Shoots ok. Still have the original box and the bill of sale.
Later put on stag horn grips which fit my hand better. and recently i made grips of teak.
Lots of years later when i needed a serious PISTOL to keep the bears away on camping trips.... got a Ruger Security Six 357 with the longer barrel. Got it cheap cuz the front sight was slightly bent.
was going to replace the front sight but it shot so well i never did.
