Looks like a good time was had by all.

The Highway Patrolman and the Winchester 94' took me back a decade. Even in this modern day of tupperware and scoped 1000 yards guns, I hunted an entire season with nothing more than my Old 28-2 and a Win 94'. I'd post a photo of the two together but it'd take me 30 minutes to find it on this contraption.

In the early seventies J & G Rifle Ranch (as they were known back then)sold a bunch of those model 28's. I ordered one along with a four inch S & W 44 special barrel and Vern Ewer in Spokane converted it for me. I use to tell people the G S P stood for George S. Patton and was his everyday carry gun. A lot of them fell for it untill I told them the truth. The gun was stolen from my truck while I was working in San Francisco in 1980. It was like loosing a family member. That gun was "rode hard" on the outside but smooth as silk on the inside.

Came with an 8 3/8 inch barrel, but I bought a 3 1/2 inch barrel because I much prefer the looks. Nice shooter. It had been a safe queen for many years and I was at least the third owner and the only one to shoot it.

It is a nice shooter. A set of stag grips would really set this thing off, though I'd like to have some grips with the "filler" behind the trigger guard. The diamond grips on it now fit perfect in my wife's hands, so I may have to settle for now. Other than that, I have no complaints. Accurate, durable, comfortable, and compact. Doesn't get much better than that. As for the Derringer, it's a good snake gun, or a purse gun for my wife. But for me, I'll bring it along next time I'm in a saloon out west playin hold 'em in my cowboy hat. Never know when some rat might be hidin cards.

I envy those with enough land to shoot when they please.

I can shoot on my land....

But only one shot.

Then you have to scurry the gun away and practice saying, "You heard that too?!!?"
