never owned a 999. My first pistol that I bought (prior to that I used my Dads Colt SAAs and a couple of little cheapies) was a 22 LR/Mag 9" High Standard. It had the normal SAA type round top, no sights.

I had an old gunsmith work on it (AKA butchered it) trying to mount a scope on it. The only scopes we had in those days were the Bushnell Phantom that sits on a rail. The gunsmith couldn't figure out a way to mount that rail to the top strap. He drilled holes everywhere but it would never stay tight on the gun. Finally I took the scope off and filled the holes with fill screws and sold it to some other dummy. In the next few months I bought one of the first Contenders that hit the market and never looked back.
