Default DAO 64-5 followed me home last weekend...

There was an actual, real life gun show near me last weekend, and I went just mostly to get out of the house. I did take an old 10-7 with me in case I felt like doing some trading. Revolvers were few and far between, and mildly to ridiculously overpriced.

Then I spotted this one from 2 aisles over and chatted the owner up. He didn't want too much for it, and we ended up making a trade.

So here's a 64-5, probably a security guard gun. It dates to December '97 as far as I can figure. It's got a MIM trigger, cylinder stop, and rebound slide, the new cylinder release, a flash-chromed forged bobbed hammer, and a grooved front and back strap. It's got a moderate amount of carry wear, but the insides are fresh... doesn't look to have been fired much at all. The factory grips were kinda beat up cosmetically, and size-wise are not to my liking, so I added some Pachmayr Compact Professionals. Gotta show off the grooved back strap!

Loaded up some ammo this weekend, and will hopefully make it to the range later this week!
