I mean it IS kind of awkward to be CHLing a gun your Father in Law (who is a cop) is just letting you borrow. I would feel bad if I had to use it and it gets bagged as evidence, and also I certainly wouldn't touch the trigger or make any modifications to it if I didn't OWN it. I'm just hoping maybe he'll let me borrow it until I've got some extra money to buy my own. Especially these summer months.
Don't feel bad. I, too, have restrictions based on family budgetary issues. :sad:

Re: Test Driving a S&W Airweight

Since folks are talking about their J-frames, mine is a 1973 Model 49 Bodyguard (all-steel, shrouded hammer) which I bought in used, but excellent condition. My hat is off to all of you folks who can shoot those lightweight versions with hot ammo in them. I load Federal Nyclad 125 grain in mine, though I don't carry it all that much, and that is more than potent enough for me.
