I'd hate for you guys to think I was full of crap after only one post so I'm posting a pic...I can tell you I turmoiled for a few days as to whether or not I should shoot this but in the end I realized I'm a shooter and this is a gun. I do feel quite fortunate to be working for such an avid gun enthusiast and generous fellow. Believe me I've been beside myself for several days. I was trying to respond to a post titled New production SAA and hit the new post button but you get the idea...Oh and it's great to be here...

Yeah I'm stoked! It must be nice to have the cash to do things like this. My boss pulled up and asked me to look at some of the guns he's picked up. There were some Smith's, a Winchester and a Henry. I stood there admiring his new aquisitions when he pulled the Colt from under a box and handed it to me. I opened and there was what I thought was his SAA. He asked me if I had a dollar, I handed one to him and he said it's yours. I think he must have gotten a real kick outta my expression. I can appreciate the enjoyment one would get from that. Of course I half heartedly tried to refuse but he said I payed for it and it was mine. :D True story and that was a first for me. Anyway yeah I took it out after cleaning and shot it 25 times...brought it home and cleaned again. The manual states shooting will drastically reduce collector value...What the heck!
