    Hello!

    My name is Marti, and I am 34 years old. It had been years since I had gone shooting, mainly because I just never seemed to have money to buy my own gun. Then I was given/inherited my grandfather's gun. It was poorly cared for, rusty, and neglected. I had my dad clean and repair it and shoot it, then I had my father in law double check it, clean it, and shoot it. Then for a little over a year I refused to shoot it because I was convinced it had been so neglected that it still might blow up in my face.

    Last November, I finally took my gun out and shot it. Didn't realize how much I missed target practice , the weight of a gun in my hand, and a nice afternoon spent.

    I grew up shooting. Starting shooting a .22 a long time ago... in fact, I was so young I don't even remember my first shot. When I was about 8 I was shooting my mom's snub nose .38 - when I was 19 I out shot my law enforcement fiance. Then - I lost my guns to a tweeker ex-BF who stole them. Thank God I don't date tweekers anymore.

    ANYWAY... It occured to me recently that I should learn everything I can about my gun. I went to Google and found this site, then went to the Rossi website and they don't have anything online about my serial number, - gave me some toll free number to call but I seriously dislike phone calls. SO, I came back here and I've joined this site to see if anyone can help me learn anything about my gun.
