Oh I hear you. The model 10 was a good service pistol for years. I knew pilots in Nam who carried them. The old 28 is hard to find. I won't part with mine. Too many memories. She saved me more than once. Our favorite term was hand cannon. At night three foot fireballs from the barrel with a side show from the cylinder barrel gap. And the noise!

Fired mine inside my patrol car when I was ambushed near the Mexico border outside Del Rio. He was rushing the passenger side popping at me with an AK. I drew leveled and followed training. Center mass with a 125 grain semi jacketed hollow point. DRT dead right there. Took a week for my hearing to improve.
