Thompson 1927 A-1 and HK P30 (9mm) The A-1 was my dad's and I wanted to like it so bad, but the drum mag was a challenge to load and it was a jam-o-holic. The P30 was my first polymer framed firearm and it felt good just holding it, but not so much shooting it. It was traded for a S&W 686+.

Just ordered 2 Henry Golden Boys for the grandkids to shoot! They're turning 2 this summer. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but its never to early to purchase! I'll let their parents decide when its time to teach them to shoot.
