Re: new CCW pistol

I was advised dry-firing would damage the S&W's firing pin (a problem that Rugers avoided by their different design). Today I know there's two schools of thought about that, but back then I did what I was told. Even with the Ruger, I never dry-fired without using snap caps. BTW, my first real gun was a Ruger Security Six, and it was a beaut. The action job on it rivaled any of those on my S&W's. Wish I still had it.
My interest in guns was very similar to my interest in shaving gear. My first brush was the Savile Row 3824: if I had just kept it instead of getting all experimental, I would have saved a lot of time and money. I just didn't realize how good I had it. Well, at least I now know I have a repeatable syndrome.<sigh>
