Great photo of S&W 22/32 Kitgun evolution

[J.B. Books]

I have never owned an S&W but my duty gun on two assignments in the AF was an S&W Model 15 with a four inch barrel and 18 rounds issued. We had to qualify periodically on 100 round course of fire from prone, kneeling, standing, some from behind a barricade and it was done both single action and double action. Target was head and torso. Expert ribbon was awarded for 90% hits. It was the only ribbon one could earn in ROTC that carried over to active duty. I earned a star device for that ribbon for qualifying expert with an M16A1 as well. Full auto was fun, but the most fun was the 40mm grenade launcher attached to it.
