Not my first S&W but it is the one I've been most excited about! I got it into my head that I just had to have a 4506-1. I found one at the Kokomo gun show today - a really clean example with virtually no holster wear still retaining the factory box. I'm stoked!
Now, that wasn't all I saw...
I was standing in the next aisle, immediately adjacent. It went down behind the SharkTac booth. Apparently the bozo lifted a *number* of items into his backpack. At some point, he makes off with a 638 into his shoe/sock. The last item was a magazine with ammo that the booth owner saw go down.
The booth owner follows the guy as he heads toward the exit and gets him to stop. Another fellow helps turn him around and sit him down. The police show up and make him empty his backpack. There is the magazine in question and the thief claims he bought it in the back. The police walk him back, the purchase is denied and then the fun starts.
They try to get him to come along but he resists. Ends up with three cops on top of him and he keeps resisting. This goes on for at least 3 or 4 minutes until they finally taze him... he KEEPS RESISTING under the pile of leo. The original booth owner and another patron grab the bozo's feet and the LEOs finally get him cuffed. What does the guy do? Yep, keeps resisting. Four or five tactical placements of a fist into bodymass finally stop the resisting. This whole thing took AT LEAST 5 -6 minutes.
Piece of ****.
The original booth owner? Big dude, at least 6'4" and 280 with a black beard and ponytail. NOT the wisest choice of whom to steal from.
I'm glad everything was recovered.
