I used it for years, eventually sent it back to S&W for refinish. Still have it, shoots as well as it always did. Shot a bunch of wheel weight 150's thru that gun with Unique. Killed rabbits, squirrels, feral cats, etc. with that old gun. DF Very cool story, DF. Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want. Rehabilitation is way overrated. Orwell wasn't wrong.
