Great post and pictures! I'd call this a very successful rescue.
Your story of how you found it reminds me of how I found a Shorty 45 in a gun store I visit occasionally, sitting right there big as life, and how I actually
went home and thought about it for 24 hours before going back to make the buy.
It was about all I could think about for that period of time.
Fortunately, it was still there, and I was able to get it for a price I couldn't believe, though with a single mag and no box compared to what came with yours. One of my best days in gun-buying, so I can appreciate how you feel about this one!
