Default Finally got a 2" kit!

Been looking and bidding on auctions for a number of years trying to get a reasonably affordable 2" kit gun and finally yesterday won an auction. Will be sending out funds today and hopefully have the gun in a week or two!
I had been wanting one of these and lamenting how I could not find one at a decent price for some time now. Well I paid a touch more than I really wanted to, but still what seems the going rate or a bit less. The auction pictures were not the best quality so we will have to see if it is like new as the seller states hope the gamble pays off!

"Kit guns" are usually .22s, right?

Whilst I was not looking being happy with my M63 I bought when they came out I stumbled upon this 34-2 on consignment just down the road for $375 a couple of years ago.



In action.

Hopefully, you will have the same luck as me in a similar situation. G.B. Model 14-3. Pictures were pretty poor looking. Description, made it sound great. I called the seller. He assured me it was very nice. It arrived at my FFL. It was everything I had hoped for! Bob

I usually carry a Smith J frame or Colt D frame and often shoot a 2" Model 34 for practice. I've got 6,000+ rounds down range with one of the 34s. It's good practice and loads of fun.

I'm really happy to learn that you finally found what you've been looking for. I have long had a 4 inch Md 63 and wasn't interested in finding a 2 inch 34. But when one appeared in a local pawn shop, I knew immediately that what I thought I didn't want or need was all wrong. It came home with me.
