10-7, 4" pinned, with Grip Adapter....cheap!

[Crookedcreek]

Dropped by the LGS today (the one where I missed the 60 Chiefs Special by one day!) to see if anything new and interesting. In the case was a 10-7, 4" pinned with an aluminum grip adapter showing no name/markings on visible surfaces. Everything is very tight with good bore. Bluing worn (75-80% + remains..I'm guessing!) and Magna stocks checkering almost smooth, with gold medalion. Dealer said he believed it was re-imported from Columbia (police pistol?). Serial number 8D914xx would indicate late 70's early 80's with pinned barrel. Price on tag is $249.99...I could afford to add the penney!
Not pretty, but not that bad either, plus the aluminum grip adapter.....! What say you all?

Go for it. I waited over a weekend and lost one I had my eye on yesterday.

Pencil or heavy barrel?

Wouldn't be my preference, but for $295 I could learn to like it..................

I was delighted to get a carried a lot shot a little 10-5 a few days ago for $259 - they aren't cheap like they used to be- sounds like a jump on it deal to me

For $249.99 I bet you'd like it even more!
