LOL It did not start out that way. Gave blood for my first one.lol It was a Bull Barrel Ruger and cost me $37. And I still have it, or rather, my son does.lol Truly, I am not sure how it grew to where it is now. I just loved firearms and ended up spending on them instead of other things that were the trend at the time. It is not so nice every March and April when I have to clean them and oil them up again.lol Will see you in two weeks in Alexandria for the show, Lord willin and the creek don't rise. Be well my friend, Hank
