Posting here about my mysterious revolver. I've loved pistols all my life and TV westerns made that a big part of my life for so many years. Watching some of those old westerns again made me drag out my revolver. Here's why it is mysterious. I remember a Ruger magnum revolver that I wore out. Then I went to Texas in 1974. The revolver in the pic here is not that gun.

I can recall buying a revolver on Airline Drive in Houston. Not sure now if it was a gun shop or a flea market. I cannot recall shooting that gun. No memory of it at all. The revolver in this pic is a Hawes Montana Marshal with mag cylinder. They do not make them any longer and even used it is high dollar to me. The loading shoot on this pistol must have came from that gun I bought on Airline drive. Recently I bought new grips for this gun and they were $45 plus shipping.

Talking with both my daughters about me and revolvers, they don't remember much either. Once a man in New Caney brought out his Colt . 357 and 3 of us were shooting it. I outshot him and his buddy so he put the gun away.

As for where this current Hawes revolver could have been shot and used for practice came to a bigger light as my oldest daughter recalled our place outside of Waller, Texas where there was a big yard and a large field in back. That makes sense to me. The younger daughter does not know, but she lived with me later and said she remembered me having a pistol.

I guess it all makes sense, sort of. All I know for sure is that thanks to Matt Dillon and Paladin I've got a new play toy again. My type of shooting is not gun range shooting. Not sure what I'm gonna do with this thing.
