Pistol was a Rossi Stainless .38.
M88, I think...5-shot with those great feeling Hogue style grips.
Eventually had a matching pair, one for the house and one for the car.
Sold both of them when they lifted the "Assault Weapons" ban and picked up an AK.
Should probably mention that the first real "range time" I ever got was back in the 70's on a Ruger 10/22 at Camp Benjamin Hawkins in Macon with Burt Jacobs and Jack Spears in the Boy Scouts, Troop 140 I think.
That was also the first time I got to see/hear a 30/30 fired up close and personal.
