The best worst of my observations reveals that no other organs are performing at teenager levels. I'm looking forward to deer season. Last year I...

Did I read that you have a S & W 29? A long shot here, is it an 8 3/8" barrel model and is it a blue or stainless model? I would be interested as long as it has the long barrel. Please keep me in mind. Thanks.
