Hi all.  Just joined the firm but have been lurking a while.  I started shooting again about six moths ago (25 year layoff).  One of my boys has been enjoying shooting with me so much that for Christmas I gave him my old H&R 686.  I purchased that gun 30 years ago and it is in great shape.  I hated to let it go but he was stunned.  It is in good hands now and I know he will care for and treasure it for a long time.  I've got an SR9, a S&W 60, a Walther P22 and old Ruger 10/22.  I get to the range 2 to 4 times a month.  My 12 year old just started shooting the P22 and really likes it.  My wife thinks she is going to start shooting soon also.  Anyway I'm off to the forums to see what I can learn about DW revolvers.

Welcomeaboard!

A gun is a special gift from father to son, I'm sure he will cherish it forever.

Welcome to DWF. I took a long shooting "layoff" too, started back up because my son was interested. I gave him a gun, my first DW 15-2 (and my first gun). He's a pretty good caretaker of the heirloom.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.  Duly noted on pictures.  I need to take more anyway.  And another guy who took a shooting layoff, comes back and gives his boy his first gun, too cool.  Wish I could help with the military paychecks, thanks for protecting the rest of us.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to shooting~!

Sounds like you made your son very, very happy.  I value my

Dad's fire arms the most.
