Did good is the understatement of the year. You sure that pistol ain't hot. Either that or you met one of them P.T. Barnum people that are supposedly born every day.

MBA should stand for "Makes Bad Assumptions". When I was coming up thru the ranks as an engineer, I worked for a number of self made men. They taught me that a degree would get you maybe an interveiw. To get promoted it only came with hard work, passion for the business and results. When it...

Guilty as charged. I like them all long,short and pocket size. Big and tiny, rife, pistol or shotgun. Guns are a lot of fun and all have different purposes, I try them out and keep what i like. best, for a specific purpose. Fortunatly, I have a wife who lets me enjoy my passions guns and cars...

I am not going to be much help. I have 2 -40 m&p both pregen 2, one a compact the other full size. I have 9mm conversion barrels and magazines for both. They are great guns and work well with either caliber. My next change is going to be an adjustable sight for the full size. I do notice a...

My last 27-2 5" in that condition cost me $1100 in 2018 although my case liner was as mint as the gun was.

I bought a service six from a friend of my brothers a number of years back. It had been so neglected that the action didn't work. I wasn't sure I could fix it so bought it for parts money. Well was I wrong, took it home, took it apart, and cleaned everything. Wow, it was a great shooter, nice...

NIce find. Took me many years to find a 19-3 with 3t's and RRWO to match my 27-2 4" configured the same way. Now to find a m-18 and m-15 with same configuration.

Federal auto match, remington target and golden bullt, CCI multiple types and winchester multiple types. Plus an assortment of european match ammo eley etc. I test each new 22 with ammo from my collection and then note which one or two has shot the best and lay in a stock for that specific gun...

I use the aluminum case ammo only where I cannot get recovery on brass. I only recently was able to get a deal on a case and a half of blazer that was cheaper then brass on sale. It is going to be used only at one range, so should last me a long time as most places I shoot allow recovery. I have...

It is obvious by the sideplate screws, that both of these guns have been played with by someone. Wether that someone was competent or not can ony be a quess. Even if you pop the sideplate, and also check wether the strain screw has been backed off, you won't know the quality of the work. Having...

My first was a 17-2 3t's bought December of 1975 for Christmas present from my wife. Still own and use it. It was followed in April 1976 by a 27-2 3t's when I figured out we were getting a tax refund check.

Sold 2 18"s i bought new in the mid 70's each to finance something I wanted more. Took a lot of years till I finally found a replacement that was built in 65 in mint condition. It was perfect mate for my 15-2 from 67. Its not for sale. I got the colt king cobra after a 2 year wait. Its also...

I have owned one 6", three 5" and a 4". I ended up never firing the 5" because they were to collectable new in the box. I shot the hell out of my 6" used it for bullseye for years. The 4" I bought used and is a great packing pistol. I sold my 6" and all the 5" kept the 4" because it fit my...

Based on what I see on GB the $1250 might not be bad, I would still test the waters with negotiation. To give you a comparison the rarer 24-3 4" sold on GB last night, wo box papers etc. but correct grips, for $1235+ shipping +tax and whatever fees to receive it. They only made between 2500 to...
