The first one that I shot was my Dad's Colt Woodsman Sport and I was probably about 6 or so. The first one that I bought was a 4" Smith Modell 66 that I got new when I was 17 and still have. It's been bead-blasted, had the hammer spur chopped off (but still has the SA notch onthe hammer) and I milled the front sight off, dovetailed the base and a buddy made a black post front sight for me. It has somewhere in the region of 60-70,000 rounds thru it and one of my boys will end up with it...
