I went to a show a few weeks ago intending to buy a "S" series 58 that I had talked to the seller about a few days before the show. I had seen the gun before and he had come down to $650. I intended to buy the gun when I got there but he had just sold it even though I told him I was coming to get it. "I didn't know if you were gonna show up" was his excuse. He also had a nice T-series High Power for $600 that I bought instead. I took this to show to my friend and fellow forum member Hoot and he said "Did you bring this to trade for the nickel 58?" Huh? "What nickel 58?" I showed him the High Power and he showed me the 95% plus nickel 58 and I gave him $50 and the High Power and took the nickel 58 home. Stranger things have happened. I still have my old SAPD 58 also. I just wish I hadn't sold the 58 I carried back in the late 60's and early seventies when I walked the beat. Weight didn't matter back then.
