As most of you know, I've been battling cancer for the last two years, got a new bride, and moved from my house in Eufaula to here. I've left my firearms at my son's home, but I have a few here for carry. About two weeks ago I went to my son's house to collect a few handguns and a rifle. As I've gotten a bit weaker and lost quite a bit of weight, I haven't been shooting much except a .357 and a couple of 9mm pistols. I've been to the LGS / indoor range maybe two or three times, not nearly what I used to go. I have my eyes on a slightly used S&W model 25. One always needs a goal !

Anyway, when I looked closely at my Ruger SRH I couldn't believe how well built it was. A very heavily put together revolver. It has been a while since I've fired it, and most probably will wait until after my chemotherapy is over and I can get some strength back.

I looked at my 22/45 and have to get re-acclimated to it , too. The LGS has .22 rimfire ammo pretty cheap, so the only thing stopping me from going shooting is how weak I happen to feel on a particular day, plus f it's not raining it's very hot in the range, and I weakened pretty fast. Hopefully that will change after the chemo is finished.

Tom,
Glad to hear you are doing well. Although nothing near what you have gone through, I just
finished Radiation therapy on my talk box. No picnic.
Keep shooting and best wishes to your recovery.

Hopefully you will get to shoot soon. I suspect a somewhat return to normalcy (getting to shoot a little) might just be what the doctor ordered. May God bless you, Sir.
