Default Model 520- got my ol friend back

A few months ago I had to sell my model 520 to a fellow forum member, and I pretty much regretted it from day one. Came across a good deal on a replacement so now I have my friend back! The last one may have been slightly better condition (supposedly unfired with matching box), but I might like this one better since it is lightly used and I can fire it!...and fire it I did at the range today...excellent shooter as expected!

There is just something about a fixed sight N frame! They just look great in my eyes. Glad you have one to replace the one you sold. Congrats!

The only one that I recall ever seeing in person was certainly tempting, but it also was "NIB". Sat in the LGS for almost a year. Had it been at all used I would have bought it even at the same price. Keep hoping one like your replacement will turn up one day, but it'll probably be more than that "NIB" taunt.
