I wasn't quite sure where to put this post as it covers several models and doesn't fit into any particular forum, so I put it here.
The gun show gods must be smiling down on me so far this year. We are only 5 weeks into the year, and already I have picked up four guns.
I sell concealed carry holsters at gun shows every weekend, and see all sorts of stuff stop at and pass by my table.
Two weeks ago in Jacksonville I picked up a Rossi M720 .44 special stainless steel with a 3" barrel for $225.00.
It locks up tightly, the timing is good, and there is no real visible turn ring on the cylinder.
This is one of the earlier ones made in Brazil, and imported by Interarms.
It came with Rossi rubber combat grips.
Later on that day I picked up a Beretta 32 Tomcat for $175.00.
This was like new in the box with all the papers.
This past weekend in Pensacola on Saturday morning I found an older Charter Arms Bulldog 44 Special for $250.00.
This was one of the older stainless steel ones with the shiny finish and were made much better than the ones now being produced.
BUT THEN.....on Sunday morning. I was really smiled down on.
A guy came up to my table to look at the holsters. He was carrying a gun rug.
I asked him if he was selling and what he had.
It was a S&W 13-1 4" HB pinned and recessed, with Pachmayr presentation grips on it.
The finish was beautiful, locked up tightly, and the timing was great. It has no holster wear, and just a slight turn ring on the cylinder.
He let that one go for $300.00.
Yes....the gun show gods were smiling down on me.
Four guns for under a grand.
There are still deals out there at the gun shows.
You just have to look for them.
Range report and pics to follow later in the week.
