First Handgun
Back in 1990 I came back from a remote tour in Korea to find that the ex-wife to be had sold the Ruger Standard that I had inherited from my father. I tried to recover it but that wasn't happening.
Last week I ran into a Ruger Standard/Mark I made in 1972. She sports a 4 1/2 inch barrel and is in great shape. I had to clean the manufacturers oil out of her it had hardened after 40 years of sitting around.
Prior to this I had acquired a Mark II (Top Right) and a Mark III 22-45.
