I bought my first handgun while in college at Indiana State. It was a Colt Combat Cobra .357 snub-nose on a huge frame with target sights and fancy wooden grips, polished like a mirror and way too big and heavy to carry and a real handful at the range. I still remember the huge fireball and thundering report from the beast, which always garnered lots of attention at the range. I eventually traded it off for something more practical but find myself wishing I still had it (along with every other gun I've sold or traded). It was number 0822 of 1,000.
