Got off duty today and went by my local fun shop to pick up the 4006TSW that I ordered from Summit Gunbroker. Mighty fine pistol for a great price. The grips are a little chewed up and she needed a good cleaning. But other then it she's a fine pistol. Get home and I see my father's truck in the drive way. Talk tot he old man. Turns out he went to the gun show that was going on at the Tamiami Fair Grounds. He bought himself a nice four inch pinned barrel S&W Model 64. He wanted one for awhile to replace the one he sold many moons ago. He carried a pinned barrel 64 as his first duty gun back in 1976 with Dade County Public Safety Department. Anyways.... since he got that one he decided to give me his four inch 64-3. Says it for being a good son and being a good cop, blah, blah, blah.... When I showed him the 4006TSW, he laughed. Said it was my lucky day. I bought a S&W and got one for free.

Their respective pics will be posted next week. I promise..... ;)
 
Firearms have always been a part of my relationship with my father (who is my icon and my drive to succeed). My firearms from him number among my most valuable possessions, and I'd happily turn down a million dollars for any of them. Congratulations. :)
 
You have a cool dad.

no blah-blah-blah about it.

Thanks for serving to stop the nutjobs in the world from getting away with murder.
 
Miami JBT...to you and your Dad, many thanks for all of your LEO service from all of us civilians...you guys are the real heros. Semper Fi...Rodfac aka Dave Oberg
 
All of my parents, stepparents and in laws are deceased, so enjoy the time you have with them, as much as possible. My Dad got me into shooting, and my Stepfathers' Smith 10-8 .38Spl is the family hierloom gun that will go to my son when I croak.
Glad you got a good thing there, sir!
 
Just a question for discussion, has anyone else been handed done an extensive collection from a relative?

While not an extensive collection I have received quite a few guns from my father over the years and after he passed away. I don't know how yours felt, but my father always viewed his guns as tools. He would buy whatever struck his fancy at the time and he amassed a pretty nice collection over the years, but if he had one that he didn't shoot and wanted something else, he'd trade it or sell it. My father had no sentimental attachment to his guns. I find myself more attached to his guns than he ever was.
