[Les] Way back up there ^
Thanks for the run-down.
We were using (well, supplied with) the S&W .38 when I joined the bank in '63. I think the conversion to the .22 semi-automatic occurred in about '66/'67. That didn't last long, we reverted to the S&W within a couple of years.
Like you I'm not one who would own a pistol/revolver and never have done so. If I did (and I have been toying with the idea of joining a club) it would be kept secure elsewhere. The only reason I have been pondering on such a membership is that, using the .38 on a range - we were required to undertake such activity every year or so - I apparently did reasonably well (five rounds in a group 2"). If memory serves me correctly the targets were set at 15 yards.
NOTE: How the heck can you 'keep up your skills' (what skills?) when you are allowed 5 rounds each year or two? Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Fortunately I didn't need to use mine in anger.
