Is my little Colt Government close enough?

Nice. I have that exact pistol. Last time I shot it was with the kids about 16 years ago. I think it was about $250 when I got it in 1988 I think it was.

MAY BE FITTING FOR SOME OF YOU "MORE SENIOR" MEMBERS

Julie Andrews "A Few Of My Favorite Things" has changed over the years.

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

I think that may have been for laser eye surgery, not cataract removal and lens replacement.
