Hi armsmaster270,
I used to buy parts at Christy's when I was a teenager.
Thanks for posting, it brings back memories of Simms Hardware on J st.
Branden Guns and Dick Scherer's reloading shop on Folsom Blvd
which are all long gone now.
Old Sac Armory was a nice place to shop and browse.
I bought my 1st S&W revolver there in 1981.
It is my Avatar...my S&W 586 L-Frame 4" no dash.
Then in 1982 I bought a 586 L-Frame 6" no dash.
In 1984 I bought my S&W 559 9mm and S&W 469 9mm from Old Sac Armory.
The last few weeks before Old Sac Armory closed, I bought my S&W 3913, and
S&W 3906 on 09/11/07; and my Ruger GP100 6" Blue .357mag on 10/04/07 before they closed shop.
I tried to buy the S&W 6906 on the final sale day, but Gary behind the counter decided to buy it.
