Don Nelson writes . . .

Though not due to the epidemic, I experienced a nostalgia rush a few months ago and tucked the DW V-Bob in the safe, replacing it with this 3” S&W 686 Plus .357 Magnum.

The stocks are VZ, soon to be replaced by Ahrends maple boot grips. An Apex Tactical DAO kit is installed, forcing me to re-learn trigger control during my daily 100-round (full power handloads) drills. (Here in the hinterlands, shooting in the national forest can be isolation.)

While awaiting the Kramer pancake holster, the revolver rides in a generic leather Amazon special, originally ordered for a 3.5” GP100.

Also carried are a Surefire AAA light, Buck 110 Automatic, Explorer II watch and an 8-round generic speed strip.
