I understand! We have more guns that we can ever shoot, but we are
always still looking at new stuff... Wife's father passed away, and
mother wanted to keep a pistol and a shotgun and wanted my wife to
have the rest of it, so earlier today I shot a Beretta 92FS and CZ75
for the first time. :-)

I saw an add for an NAA last year. Never owned one and didn't have a
desire for one, but I LOVED the way this one looked. What did she
get?

She got a 1860 Sheriff .22 WMR.  Hexagon barrel is engraved Independence Day
2022 and the grip has a US flag motif as well as the cylinder being blue with
50 white stars on it.  Serial number begins with 1776.  It's a bit larger than
most NAA revolvers with a "typical" SAA shaped grip - although it IS smaller
than on normal gun.

She also picked up a winter edition revolver.  Pretty much the standard NAA
style revolver, but cerakoted a light blue color with a mountain engraved on
one side, snow flakes on the other and white pearlite grips.  Came with a
cross-draw holster as well.

She's not much of a shooter any more, although she does enjoy putting a few
rounds through her Woodsman every now and again.  Me...  I've been having some
shoulder issues so I can't shoot for very long or things start to get real
achey...  Still, I DO have some new acquisitions that are just begging to be
shot....  my AR-12 being one of them....
