Most will recognize it as the Henry lever-action .410 with a 24-inch barrel. It was the last gun on the last rack I viewed and I just couldn't buy it fast enough. I literally almost wet my pants while filling out the form. Fortunately the whole process is real quick and easy here in Arizona for a CCW holder and I was out the door with it (and then into the restroom at the Mexican restaurant next door) after just a few minutes.
That store had only two boxes of self-defense ammo priced at $32 each, so I passed on them. When I got back to the truck, I called around to every shop within 20 miles (there are quite a few of them) to see what they had. I was able to come up with six boxes to get started with. The guy who sold me the Fiocchis -- a "black gun" dealer who operates out of his garage and who I know pretty well from local bowling leagues -- said he should be able to get me a steady supply. He gave me those for $17 each out the door.
I'll put a few rounds through it on hand-thrown clays as soon as this storm passes and do a little work on the patterning board. Can't wait to bag my first game bird/animal with it -- don't know if it'll be a cottontail, a squirrel or a dove.
I'll turn 60 a week from Monday, so this has been a great early birthday present!
