I Came Across an Estate Sale

[Boxhead]

Landed this 39-2 as well as some old Colt's and a NIB pellet pistol. I took the 39-2 (and the Colt's) to the range and was thoroughly impressed with the piece. Super accurate and very easy to shoot well.

What ammo were you using with the 39-2? I have a nickel 39-2 and I can't get it to group. It shoots all over the place with the same 124 gr. loads that work great in my other 9mm pistols.

Are those 1903 Colts original finish?

They were Freedom Munitions 124 gr RN. Cheap stuff that I have been more than pleased with. I buy their reman 45 ACP and 40 S&W and all is good as well.

The nickel one is not. The others, yes.

I always tell my wife to ask if there are any firearms at estate & garage sales. Congratulations.

Nice find, incidentally I stopped by an estate sale just last week. I just happened on it after it had been in progress for 2 previous days. I noticed TONS of gun books and some antique ammo so I knew this was an estate of a gun guy. I asked the fella running the sale and he said I shoulda been there on day one. The deceased man had 250 guns. A relative kept 200 of them but the did sell 50 guns two days before I found this sale. I didn't even know what laws or guidlines they have to follow when selling guns at a sale from a house. I guess it's like a local purchase at a gun show. Anyway, I decided to actually persue estate sales and be there on day one (if I can stand the crowd).
You got a few nice ones there.

Congrats on your newest!

Those 1903's are nice too.

Congrats. Looks like some real winners there.

Love them all!

Wow....what a haul. Congratulations.

Nice timing and nice assortment of pistols!

Not wanting to sound disrespectful but you must be well heeled or very lucky to have been fortunate enough to have acquired all these keepers. I say "Congratulations" are in order! You have found the "Mother Load".

While I am fine financially, I gave $1,100 for the lot ($100 more than asking) so lucky too.
