A great story.  I'm glad it didn't end up destroyed in the "buy back"

I guess a lot of good-to-great firearms are turned in at these buyback programs for a pittance by ignorant citizens.  I'll bet they never make it to the furnaces.

Great story.  Makes me wonder how the mommie-nannies in California feel about that gun, legally-speaking.  Be a shame if it had to be disposed of after all.

Had an aluminum-framed Commander* in .38 Super once.  Great cartridge.  Had to part with it to make a mortgage payment.

Feel free to kick my ass for me.

Awkward to do it to myself.

Thank you, Sir!  May I have another?
