Well it’s not fancy it’s beretta 950b .22 short. It’s the same type of pistol I learned to shoot a pistol with as wee lad. This one was passed to me from my fil it was his wife’s she bought it new in 1983. He still has the box and papers just has to find it to give it me. I was going to get for my birthday last year but my bil died a week before my birthday and he forgot. Anyways I gave him a little ruger .380 for the night stand much easier to use than the 12 gauge short barrel I gave him. Then he comes out and hands me this. He knew I wanted it for 15 years. It means the world to me. I assured him it will stay with his side of the family. And he said it doesn’t matter who you pass it to your family son. That means more than I can put into words. The little holster that it came with is an old smith and Wesson branded holster not valuable but neat. Just needs a good scrubbing and maybe a little polishing. He said he doesn’t think it’s been shot 50 times. Well I intend to shoot it a little. Then make a proper safe Queen of it until the boys are ready for it.

Nice family heirloom to keep in the family.
For leather I wash all my leather holsters in K-1. Soak them in clean K-1 and then let them drain and dry for a few days. Any odor disappears in time. Thing is it washes all the harsh tanning chemicals out of the leather which are what attacks the steel and blue of a firearm. The pic. is of my Colt Trooper III that has ben in this holster since about 1967. Absolutely perfect blue.Last edited by jhjimbo; 01-21-2021, 10:19 AM.

What's the intended purpose for one of these? Self defense, vermin?
Curious as to accuracy and muzzle blast as well.
