My first real six shooter, at age 11, was an H&R my Dad traded ration points for. The SA trigger was just above the hair trigger level. <br /><br />If the rat I was aiming for stopped, his tail was mine, fleas and all. And I could still make money shooting running rats for the bounty. <br /><br />I certainly miss the H&R's, Owl's Heads,and other mid priced revolvers of the era. But don't ask about the cheap ones! <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.com
