Thumbs down PASADINA TX GUN SHOW Xs 2

Menbers , well the Pasadena gun show Xs 2 was a bit of a let down for me . people wanted me to give my Ruger Mini 14 GB away and pay to much for the items they were selling .Saw several Smiths I would like to have owned but I felt they were WAY overpriced. I almost bought a Model 617-2 and may have made a mistake in not doing so . had my money in hand as he looked at the Mini . he offered $300 less for the mini than i wanted which would have been O K if he had done simular for the 617 which he wouldn't do . i'll brace myself for the opinions about the 617 and look forward to them .the 617 had a 6" barrel and had , here's where the pain comes in , a 15 rd cylinder & $775. no box no docs. so how big of a bo bo did I make . thanks Gents , Kenny. the friend that went with me sold 4 AR uppers he had assembled so not a total loss . thanks , Kenny

Dear Sir,

From the above, I would say that the most important thing is you and your friend had a nice day and enjoyed a shared hobby.

In terms of selling or trading, often times us collectors have to keep a 'stiff upper lip'. That is, be mindful there are folks who have owned whatever and are just out to make a profit...and that's OK.

It is up to you to determine the rules.

Please do not let this or your buddy dissuade you from our shared hobby. At times, you will get good deals; others, you pay up if you want it.

End of the day this is something you and your friend share to make you happy. If it doesn't work, move on to the next one. Keep in good company and find what you really like or can use, that is the hallmark of a collector or a person who has interest in our hobby. I wish you, truly, the best.

thank you very much kind sir . truer words are seldom spoken . friends are a blessing and good friends don't come around often. Mike and I fish together , work on automobiles and relieve each other at work . he had a good day at the show and that makes it all good for me too. I am looking for a couple specific guns and that makes it fun and gives me a reason for the next show . if I found and bought everyone I desire what would I do then . thanks ,kenny

A S&W 617 with a "15 Round" cylinder???? I have a 10 round in my 617-6, and there is no way it could be a 15 Round. To my knowledge S&W has never made a 15 round anything. Are you sure you were seeing correctly?

H Richard , your is the reply I was hoping for .no, i'm not sure. I was wondering myself. at the time I was sure but couldn't find a Smith like that in the SCSW 4rth edition . google searching I found that ruger made a 22 revolver in that configuration . I can't imagine I made a mistake like that but must have . hopefully I will see this Gentleman at future shows . until then I will assume I was mistaken. I guess I may have been there to long .
