There was lots of "eye candy" at the local pawn and gun today. Some beautiful Colt Pythons, S&W Models 19 and 29, Beretta 92X1, final edition Walther P99AS, not to mention a bunch of Bond Arms derringers. I wanted all of them.

I think you need to go back and check out the engraved one on top. Do you know what it is?

Wonder why the Colts get the interesting side shown face up but new SW's are always turned left side facing away, it's the same on the SW website, almost like they are hiding something.
OP
I'm assuming an earlier Python, but I have very little knowledge about Colts and don't own one.
Are the prices good? I can't see them very well.
OP
Not really; these are the high-end handguns and most of them are well over $1000. The Pythons were $1500-1700. The cheapest were the derringers and the Walther P99AS was going for right at $800. By the way, this store claims to be the fifth largest S&W dealer in the Southeast. They have a large S&W sale every spring around mid-April.

Hmmmm....LOL
The lock of course
I have never understood why S&W undercuts themselves by continuing to put locks on their revolvers. This has caused people who truly want to support S&W to buy their "pre-lock" revolvers second-hand. I know that revolvers are no longer the big seller for S&W, however, I cannot understand why they simply do not make an option for every revolver to be free of the lock. Alas, they made their move and still seem unwilling to do this, so my venting means nothing.
OP
You are correct; this is the Columbus location.
Man I miss living near that store. Sometimes they were priced a little high but every now and then they'd have some hidden gem at a real good price. I'll always regret letting an early Remington 760 carbine in good user shape for $450 or so get away from me. It sat on their rack for weeks if not several months and I looked at it numerous times and never bought it. That was 6 or 7 years ago. Now that gun would probably be worth $1200.

I see nothing in that case that interests me at all, no offense. How does the used gun case look?

Locks on a s&w revolver really do not bother me as there easy to make non functional but QC of current s&w revolvers in general is a concern .
