Grail Gun Question

[okie john]

Every once in a while, I stumble onto a grail gun at an affordable price. I buy it and shoot it and swear that I'm never going to sell it because I've always wanted one just like it. Then a few months later, it's just another gun, maybe a little peculiar in terms of some detail or other, and my five-inch Model 629 Classic does the same job as well or better.

Any one else have this happen?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That seems to be the nature of the Gun-Beast dwelling within me too.

Been involved in this vicious cycle since 1994.

I just keep adding to the pile, and it is starting to get deep. Glad it isn't BS or I would need hip Boots

Guilty!

 

[traderdell]

Oh yea!

Once you buy a "Grail Gun", you'll be looking for the next one. A never ending viscous cycle.

 

[okie john]

OK, I'm feeling better now.

Could Ray Charles play the piano without looking?

 

[The Highlander]

Oh yeah. My search for my latest "grail gun" keeps me feeling like a pinball. I've got more grail guns that I want than I will ever be able to own. I guess that is part of the fun of it.

Mine right now is a 7.5" (not the 6" and not the 8 3/8") 629 with an unfluted cylinder.
There's one on GunBroker that I've bid on three times but have never met the minimum and I can't quite afford their $1,000 Buy It Now price.
I have a 6" that my son talked me out of last year for deer season and he killed a deer with it and I hate to ask for it back.
I have a Performance Center Light Hunter but something about it just doesn't "feel" right or doesn't balance for me or something. I just "know" that if I could get this gun on GunBroker, it would be the last gun I'd ever need... until the next gun that'll be the last gun I ever need.

The problem is that "Grail Guns" are constantly changing. Once you get one, you decide that something else is a grail gun.
The great thing about having multiple grail guns is re-discovering what was your grail gun a few years back in your safe, and loving it all over again
