[QUOTE="348Winchester, post: 5623106, member: 11952"] God's gun is an N frame Smith. At the tender age of 13 years I worked all spring, summer, and fall to buy an 8 3/8 nickel model 57. I still have it after 40 more years have passed. At the age of 18 I took a job with a Knoxville newspaper filling up racks. My route was through the ghetto after midnight. One evening while sitting in the truck counting papers for the rack outside the Westhaven Restaurant some disreputable characters pulled alongside of me and demanded the money they believed I was removing from the racks. I explained that I had no money but was only putting papers in the racks. One of them said "We gotsa 9 that says you gots da money." I cooly replied while raising and cocking the big Smith, Well I have a 41 magnum that says I don't." One of their crew Exclaimed in a high pitched voice "Gott-damn look at that chrome gun!" They just eased out of there in reverse. I'm sure the dome light in the cab of my truck reflecting off that brilliant nickel finish made the gun look enormous. Now my carry gun is a model 57 4 inch Mountain Gun. It's accurate, powerful, and points like your finger. Those big wooden stocks just fit my hand perfectly. [/QUOTE]
