After selling my first ever 27-2 which was an absolutely gorgeous Full Target Model- I knew I had made a bad mistake. Even though it allowed me to get my current 3.5" '68 S Prefix 27-2, I knew I had just made a big mistake. I really didn't think I would ever get a chance at another one like it, much less for the price that I got it for. Especially since everything has went up in price recently. & the more time went on the more I regretted selling it. The Full Target Model is just such a joy to hold in hand. Everything is so easy to manipulate. The Target Stocks are beautiful and very ergonomic, the target trigger feels so good, and the target hammer is so easy to manipulate and feels so good as well. There was actually a couple times I had even considered contacting the buyer to ask if I could buy it back. I missed it that much. But, after a little while I just tried to forget about it and be happy with the S Prefix 3.5" - and, I'm extremely happy with her, lol!
Well, fast forward a few months I figured I would just check GB for the heck of it. It was a Sunday evening & we were getting ready to go visit our niece and her husband at their campsite. While looking I found one that was probably even better than the one I had sold. From the description, it was as new in box. And most likely never fired. Well, I thought what the hell, I'll place a bid and if I get it so be it, & if not, not. The bidding was still to end at 9pm that night. So, I placed my bid at $2k. Yeah, I REALLY wanted her. I also knew that where we were going had absolutely no internet or phone service. And, that we wouldn't be home until about midnight. So, if I really want it, I better really place my max bid. Part of the reason I bid that amount was because that's what I sold mine for. So, this one actually being nicer than that one I figured what the heck. I also figured I would be outbid anyways. Well, we finally got back a little after midnight. Lol, I couldn't wait to see what happened with the bidding. I just knew for sure I wouldn't win it.
But, lo and behold I check and I saw that I actually did win her and for even less than what I paid for my original model! The one I sold I bought for $1,500 and I won this one for $1,324 if not mistaken!
Talk about being on Cloud 9!
The only worry I had is that the owner wasn't being truthful about the condition in some way.
But, when I looked at the pics and description and more importantly, his feedback, I was pretty convinced that I am a very lucky man! I reckon i could say that the lesson I learned is to not sell something that beautiful again lol! And, that I can take good care if her and not have any problems with her rusting AND shoot her too. Enjoy her.
And, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Well, I can tell ya, that the owner was truthful in his description of the gun. She is just immaculate imo.
Fellas, please excuse the grammer and lack of paragraphs, as I'm just super busy - but, I really do appreciate yall allowing me to share my story. Yall know what it's like to want one if these so bad and then for it to actually happen! Thanks guys
Here's a couple quick pics. I'll try and get some more up tomorrow
The first is the description of the 27-2, then a couple pics and one beside my '68 3.5"
