I wince when I think about my first handgun. It was a very poorly-fitted H&R .22 LR sideswing revolver. Its cylinder stopped indexing properly after about one box of cartridges. I finally gave it to my brother. He coudn't stand the thing, either, and gave it to someone else. By now it's probably at the bottom of a landfill, where it belongs.
Anyway, I'd rather think about my second handgun: an S&W Model 10 with a 6-inch barrel, refinished by the factory. I still have it.
