Default (Pic added!) Gun show find, Model 908

I went to the local collectors gun show this weekend. I bought a new Mossberg Shockwave for $359.00, but my prize for the show was a 98% 3rd Gen Model 908 with original box and papers, both mags, for a whopping $300. I bought it from an exhibitor private seller who said he was raising money to restore his 1963 Harley Davidson Panhead. I was more than glad to help his cause!

Picture up!

You can't really find a better 9mm workhorse American pistol. Not fancy, not expensive, but still reliable and accurate. Good value at a good price.

Congratulations, those are real sleepers. FWIW, I believe Blade Tech makes holsters. Mine has always done best for me with 147gr subsonics.

You got it for a steal. I'll give you $400 for it and you can make a quick C-note and start saving for your own Harley.

Nice. I bought one in May through Gunbroker. I paid $340 after shipping and transfer. I cleaned mine up and took it to the range...nice gun. I ordered a new spring guide, as they are plastic and mine had a couple of visual anomolies. I think it was $12.

Looks damn good to me! I love it when you are able to spot and buy a super-nice 3rd Gen complete with everything just as it originally came from the factory.

I bought a Zanders special through Guns International, box papers, all of it. Took it to the range, it's my wifes gun now. She's pretty good with it too, accurate. I didn't even get to shoot it.

Nice find for sure! I bought a 908 a couple of years ago and paid around $400 for it. And it is not anywhere near the great condition of your new toy. Of all my 3rd Gens, the 908 is one of my favorite to shoot.

What a great deal! The 908 looks super. I just love it when someone gets a real deal on a Gen3. Enjoy!
