Doubt if you're old enough to have ever met an old Border Patrolman by the name of Sketer Shelton but I'm betting you herd of him. He passed away in 1988 at the age of 59 or 60.VP
.357 S&W hiway Patrol model. with a 4 inch barel, and Keith long range front sight. I used that in the Border Patrol.
Anyway his taste and yours in handguns would have ran hand in glove. As you probably already know he wrote for Guns and Ammo magazine for many years of guns and his life as a Border Patrolman.
I have 2 of his books,one is "Good Friends, Good Guns and Good Wiskey", the other is Hoglegs, Hipshots & Jalapenos. May still order reprints from Barnes and Nobel or somewhere, don't know.
I have 2 .357's, one is a first year of production " Colt's .357 Magnum" which later became part of the Trooper line. The other is also 6" beautiful condition Ruger Security 6. As far as the Highway Patrolman I have it's also a beautiful 6" version but is no longer original as years ago Ed Brown of Perry, Mo. ( of custom .45 acp work renown) down a conversion to .45 Colt with wide target hammer and trigger. The barrel is a S&W original stamped "Target Model of 1955 .45 cal." A beautiful clone of a valuebal collector item until you open up the cylinder and read the model # of 28-2.
Anyway read your choice and thought immediately of Skeeter.
