Troopers from the Trooper.
I was just thinking of someone/something and found the picture. It's not a good one.
A joke snapshot from years ago of the ugliest gun I own.
"Wally's gun", a poorly cared for Model 10 I got for free. Wally was a co-worker of my brother in laws, a guy who washed out of the NYPD as a drunk.
I didn't know Wally. I did know my brother in law of course, and I really miss him. But that's not who I was thinking about either.
I was thinking about the guy who ordered those Jordan Troopers new in 1968, the young Trooper Wilson Dew, who sent me the grips some 30 years later, free of charge, just because he was good fellow. I probably should have them on a nicer gun in his honor.
Thanks again WD-60.
