[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4164750, member: 13337"] I almost forgot about this Gem. [ATTACH type="full"]430596[/ATTACH] It's a ROHM .22 Short revolver,,, I bought this in it's original box back in the early 60's,,, I paid a whopping $5 for it and 44 rounds of ammunition for it. Apparently the owner fired one cylinder through it. It was at a garage sale,,, I was 11 or 12 years old at the time. The front sight fell off somewhere in that box of shorts,,, I told my Pop that I took it off so it would clear my pocket easier. He said that was a great idea,,, Because when someone took it away from me,,, And shoved it up my @$$, it wouldn't hurt so bad coming out. In a way the joke was on him,,, I did use the pistol in a self defense scenario,,, I was being car-jacked or robbed and I got one shot off,,, I missed but the report convinced the goblin to seek an easier victim. Anyways, back in 1999 when Moore, OK got leveled by that F-5 tornado,,, We were sifting through the wreckage of my sisters home. I found a box of 60's Mod clothes I had stored in her attic when I went into the USAF,,, Inside the box were a pair of genuine Dingo boots,,, This pistol was wrapped in a sock in one. So it was lost (forgotten for 29 years,,, I still have it but it's never going to be fired again. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
