At long last - a Model 18
For several years now, I've been watching for a nice Model 18 to add a 4" barrel to my Model 17 6" and 8-3/8" 22's. A brace of 22's so to speak.
I kinda wanted an older one, maybe an 18-2 or 18-3, but I found an 18-4 that looked like new in its auction pics, and after waiting so long, I jumped on it. I paid too much, but it only hurts once, and I'm thrilled with my new toy.
I've looked it over carefully, done all the action checks, and I have to wonder if it's even had a box of ammo through it. It's that much like new.
I've included the box label and the sales card for those of you who collect dates and serial numbers.
Thanks for looking.
