My son is 40 years old today, so I figured he is old enough now.
Instead of giving him the usual cash in the card, I thought he would appreciate his late grandma's bedside table gun - a S&W Model 36 Chief's Special (.38 Special).
I bought it new for her decades ago - it has less than one box of shells through it, and comes with the original box, cleaning rod & papers (including the wrapper). It's been a safe queen since the MIL passed away in '95, so it didn't take much oilin' up to look like NIB.
Threw in a couple boxes of .38 SP round nose and a gun rug.
He's planning on getting his Texas CHL, so I figured this J frame would give him a good start on his quest for a personal carry weapon.
Will give it to him when we go over to his house after work.
I gave him my Model 13 when he turned 25, so this will compliment it well.
But he can't have my SP101 .357 yet........not for a loooong time, hopefully
