Default I put off getting one of these.......

These were for sale literally by the hundreds when the police in Brazil transitioned to another gun. I gave in when I found this one for $149 plus the freight.

Taurus Model 82 .38 Special.



It does fit my collection. I supposed I stalled for so long because I'm still not positive exactly which agency issued them since the department logo has been removed. I believe it is one of branches of the Brazilian Federal Police.

Best,
Charles

Congrats on your newest!

Looks like some good honest wear but for less than $200 it ain't to bad.

Thanks for the photo.

Well......I figure $75 in 1996 money = $150 today!

How long has it been since RPB closed or am I thinking of the Gun Corral????
