Default Gator’s Junk Bin

As always, the first thing I do when in Kelso, WA, is stop by Gator’s Guns to look at their goodies, including the junk bin. I always do well, but today was exceptional. Although in very nice condition, a little Ren wax will make em pop.

Galco 1911 Yaqui slide $10
Galco 1911 tan holster for shoulder rig $10
Kramer 1911 holster $10
Simply Rugged 3” J frame $10
Mernickel $15

Buffalo Bore 200 Barnes HP .44 Spl $27
Double Tap 155 Barnes HP $35 50 rds

One man's junk is another man's treasure. Looks like you did well.

You did very well !!! My favorite pastime when visiting gun stores but less and less have used holster or grip bins. Or used stuff in general.

Prior to the popularity of the Internet growing you could walk into almost any gun shop or pawn shop and find deals in their junk box

Magazines and holsters have always been the common things that I find

It is always wonderful to find a shop that still has that great treasure trove of junk sitting on the corner of a showcase somewhere

AG is likely to have his hat handed to him. So many magazine ban cases in the pipeline. Guess they can’t grasp the concept of, “in common use for lawful purposes.”

I haven't been able to find any of the documents on-line. The state was required to file their brief a few days ago.

For example, all the California roster pistols have magazine disconnects, really destroying their assertion that magazines aren't "arms" or necessary for a firearm to function.

Yep
All their arguments are baseless and give SCOTUS the bird.

I can honestly admit that the only thing I ever found in the $5 "junk holster bins" ....... was junk! I either sold, gave away or threw out every one of those $5 holsters.

When I walk into gun stores now, I walk right by the so called "bargain bins". Yup - I have learned my lesson!

Love that belt slide. (hint)
I got an unused dump pouch for $5 from one of those bins.

When the late Charlie Sides (crsides) and I shared gun show space I kept a box of miscellaneous holsters on my table.
I sold one now and then, but the main purpose was to get folks to stop at the table and rummage thru it so I could start a conversation which may lead to a sale.

Wally's a great guy, I worked with him for years back when he was a millwright. He runs a true and genuine gun shop!

Nice score btw. I see I'm needing to make another road trip!
