Well, my attempt at the 29-10 failed. I was outbid in the final hour. That leaves me with an opportunity to check out the 29-2 in person or find another NIB 29-10 online, which is doable. Finding a 29-2 on Calguns for a local sale will require more patience.

Given my inexperience, I am in no position to make an educated decision on a 30 year old used gun. As much as owning an earlier model 29 appeals to me, I think I'd better stick to something new.

Thanks for your comments.
