What is there to say?,,,
You have the nickel version of my gun.

There's something a bit strange about a 1 7/8 in snubby with adjustable target sights,,,
I know it was originally marketed as a gun to keep in your camping "kit",,,
But who's going to hunt small game with a snub-nose 22?

Now having said that,,,
I love the heck out of my little .22 snubby,,,
Lots of practice with it has made me quite proficient with my model 36.

Meet Velma (model 36) and Velda (model 34),,,

I have a nickel model 34 as well,,,
But mine is a 4" version that I wouldn't part with,,,
I inherited it from the estate of my best friend when she passed.

J-frame revolvers in general typically have a DA trigger that is stiff,,,
That's just the nature of the beast with their smaller parts,,,
Rimfires need the heavier hit to ignite the cartridge.

Both of mine are fine performers,,,
Yours has a bit more worth due to the box and tool set.

Nice gun my friend,,,
Now go out and have fun with it.

Velda is my Aunt's name, I have never heard it used other then her. I will have to tell her there a guy has named his gun Velda, she will get a kick out of it.

Velma is my older sister's name,,,
She hated it but I always thought it was a great "tough-girl" name.

Velda was the name of Mike Hammer's secretary,,,
Another tough-girl courtesy of Mickey Spillane.

They just seemed appropriate for a pair of snub-nose pistols.

Now you need a model 30/31/Terrier aka .38S&W/63. I don't remember the model number for the J-frame in .22 magnum.
