I think I just robbed a gunstore
The cashier looked at me like I was nuts even.
I expect the police to show soon.
The N diamond set I may have to bring back it doesn't even have the grip screw.

Man, that's just wrong. I think there's something in the Bible about this sort of thing. You better turn yourself in to the nearest nunnery.

I think I'd find a screw to go with those cokes and grin like a madman.
I haven't found any good deals on grips lately, but I did find 4 factory mags for my (ahem) Taurus Millennium 9mm for 10 bucks each.
I know, it's not a Shield. But, I've had it for 14 years and it's never let me down. (except for the heavy DA trigger).
Well, there was that nearly virgin 15-3 for $400 OTD, if that counts.

Lgs here told me they had some s&w grips they needed to dump. He brought out a plastic sandwich bag with a set of N frame diamond cokes two sets of k frame targets and a set of j frame diamonds. I offered him $100 for all and took them home. Sad thing is I believe he's gained some knowledge and that kind of deal may never happen again. But I'm happy! !

I haven't seen any S&W wood in a gun store since I scored a NIBag S&W M-17 8 3/8ths holster, a pair of K RB combats, Altamont rosewood K boot grips, K SQ combats and three sets of fake stag Eagle grips for $70. You got the better deal! I would love to have a set of Cokes!

The cokes caught me by complete surprise.
The first set I saw was the combats and the price so I kept digging.
I've had a year like no other

Check those Eagle grips again, there's a good chance they're the real deal. Eagle was one of the bigger importers of Sambar years ago and then got into making Elk stag grips once the Indian stuff dried up. I'm not aware of them making any fake stag stuff.

Let's give them a little credit. At least they knew which set to price the highest.

I sold a nice set of K-frame finger combat a few weeks ago for $215.The diamond N-frame targets are worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Shoot for the moon.

ROBBED A LGS?
Don't feel sorry for them. they very well could be saying the same thing about you. Generally they won't sell for a loss & who knows what they paid for them, likely considerably less than you. WIN/WIN.
