Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Come on, guys. Who remembers Broderick Crawford in Highway Patrol? How about Dragnet? Adam 12?
Here in Virginia, I watch Highway Patrol at 5 AM anytime I wake up early. Not only Guns and Nostalgia, but great Cars to boot.

I've said the very same thing, over and over in the last many decades, lol.

Life was a whole lot simpler back then.

I had an uncle who was one of the top officers in the Pennsylvania Highway Patrol back in the 40s and 50s. He never talked about any cases in front of us kids, though. I learned later that some of those cases were pretty bloody and gruesome with lots of shooting. Don't know the actual model he carried, but I remember it was one big DA revolver.

As far as old school double action revolvers, my first one was and is a Colt Trooper six inch .357. It started me reloading in 1969 and I don't know how many thousands of shots I put through it. This the old model Trooper and is basically the Python without the rib on the barrel. The insides are the same and I dare say after over fifty years of being fired the action is as smooth as a Python. It came with a factory target shot at 25 yards with a ragged one hole. The other .357 is a Ruger GP 100 six inch stainless with the full lug barrel. The Colt has never been worked on except for a reblue many years ago and is still perfectly in time.
