That looks like the one! That lake is very clean. We've always been amazed when we fish there how clear it is. I wonder if it was even there very long.

I hoped it was caught on a hook

If anyone has a timeline for when it was stolen, it would be a great way to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the materials that S&W uses these days.

The slide on those were made out of zinc. Heavy slide blow-back operation like the Hi-Point. Slides were painted black with a plastic frame and steel barrel and internals.
