Considering it is 102 years old, it shoots pretty damn well.
Wish I had gotten the M1 carbine as well.
By "win" I just meant the coolest story with the best personal context.

When I was born, by dad was a cop. He quit and went back into the military. When I was growing up, his old service revolver was supposed to eventually come to me. When I was about 13, our house was robbed and it was stolen. It won't be the same, but I'm eventually going to get a reasonable facsimile.
