Pawn Shop Rescue
A LGS was having a big sale clearing out its' used gun inventory before the end of the year 12/28-12/30. I picked up a two tone Kel Tec P32 on Monday for $125. Apparently , they had taken several in on trade.
I went back today and got a S&W 459 for $200 and found this one hiding among the Lorcins & Jimenez Arms guns:
It's a 10-5 made in the mid '60s. (C741xxx). Rough externally.But,after a cleaning, the action is smooth and had a nice bore. $150 plus tax......

That .38 is just about broke in. That'n is liable to become a favorite.

I love it! Those are my favorites. I have two like that that I carry regularly, a 4-screw Pre-10 and a 37.
I love those rough old cobs.

Wax the exterior of the gun with a coat or two of Renaissance wax, and that one will be good to go.

Interesting find...if that S&W could only tell its life story...
Also, good snag on the P32 as well. Though some may dismiss them as junk, mine has been 100% and between the cost and size, they're hard to beat for deep CC.

I just added C801723 to my collection. It is a 10-6 heavy barrel in about 80% condition and at $270.00 a lot more expensive than yours.

These nice old guns make great bedside table guns.
I wouldn't change a thing.
