Default So close yet so far

While browsing through a somewhat LGS web site I see they’re offering a .32 long H-E 6” nickel in VG condition for $115. Always wanted a .32 long. Problem is they’re back home in western Pa. right now I’m in Delaware. I’m rolling back home today so if it’s still there tomorrow...... Got to be worth $115 unless it’s junk. They can be liberal in their grading.

Should be a good shooter, the 6” barrels are not as common. Just make sure the timing is OK. If it has adjustable sights, it’s a desirable piece. Keep us updated, Larry

I’ve heard that the 6” barrel is less common, but the three I’ve been able to get all have the long tube... go figure! Anyway, my nickel 6” Regulation Police in 32 S&W Long is a fun shooter, but of late has not gotten much use as other 32s have become available. That said, at $115 I’d add the gun in question to my stash just because! My advice? Run out to the shore or down to the Bay and stock up on seafood then blaze a path back out West and grab it before somebody beats you to it! A nice seafood meal outside will substitute for the ubiquitous barbecue, then shooting after will be fun and classy.

Been there, done that. An experience you won't forget and you'll be ready the next time an opportunity shows up - and it will.

It happens. At that price I would have called them from Delaware and said I'll take it immediately. 6" 32 RPs are not seen that often around here and if it worked, it would have been work $200 even if it was not in as advertised. Next time, call and say sold and take the risk.
