Like me, you've probably owned a .357 Magnum with an 8" barrel at one time?

I got to watch the videos too. Went through the law enforcement academy in 1987. Like you the number one thing that has stuck in my head...front sight, front sight, front sight. I was never a great shot but I could hit what I was aiming at. Also, I have never been as accurate as was with my .357 Magnum 6". One of the guys I worked with carried an 8" and I witnessed him kill a jack rabbit at 125 yards. He was an Olympic caliber shooter. He hunted deer with pistol as well.

Have 3 of them right now. A 4", 6", and the 8".

The 4" was my duty gun on the armor car. Plainclothes security, I carried a Colt 45 ACP.

Best sign ever that I saw on a armored truck:

"Robbers, have your I.D. ready. We notify next of kin."

Loved doing the Fed bank runs. 3 of us on the truck. 2 in front and one in the back. Nothing like taking a nap on $30 million dollars on the way back from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
