So today was the last day of a 2 day gun show here in Boise.
Here is what I did for 2 whole days
Day 1:
I went down with what I got from selling my 4" round butt S&W Model 19 -7 and ending up buying a 4" square butt Smith & Wesson Model 19 -5 which came with 4 HKS speed loaders and a Bianchi 111 holster which carries nicely. Got it all cleaned up and the trigger pull is smooooooooooooth. Its the best trigger of all my Smiths I have ever owned. I suppose that is because I am the fifth owner. It has target stock on it and I have factory magnas en-route from my parents in Virgina; they should be here this week. Pictures to follow. I paid $450 for it which I feel is fair considering the holster and how clean it is. Waaaaaaay cleaner than my Model 19-7 I had.
I almost ended up with a 3" round butt Model 19-7 as well but the owner didn't want to move on the price and I felt it was too high so I passed out of principle.
I also picked up a Bianchi 111 for my 4" Model 28 so I have the same holster for both of my carry guns.
Day 2:
Today I nabbed a box of Lake City .30-06 Springfield for $10. Its from the CMP and will live with my M1903A3 and a Vietnam ear nylon GI sling. Got that for a beater rifle. I also sold my Steyr M95 which I had no ambition of loading for and as such would never shoot. Got what I wanted for it too 5 tables into the show
Nothing else of note but I did spy a very clean S&W Model 27-2 for $600. No box or papers and it has a 6" barrel, almost no wear. I am thinking about that one seriously but I think I shall pass. Who knows *shrug* I really would like a Model 29 with a 4" barrel more right now.
Last minute buy on the way out was a full box of UMC manufactured primed 44 WCF brass. I thought it was 44 Special brass but brain misfired on reading the headstamp. too good to be true I guess. Ah well, they're neat to have in the original box.
