Hello, my name is Bear.
I thought I was done buying when I picked up the 9 and 9c to replace several guns that got sold as I consolidated calibers [down to 38/357, 9, 45]. Then I got the M&P22 to save on range costs [so now we are down to .22, 38/357, 9, .45].
Then I went in to Bud's earlier this week with the last of the odd calibers [a 40] to get an idea of what it might be worth. They really wanted it and I saw a M&P45 FS with 4 Mags and no wear for $420. So, goodbye Browning HP, hello #4, a $165 check and two hours range time. Not a bad day.
So now I am where I want to be. The Pythons and Colt 1911s stay in the safe and appreciate and the S&Ws [6 M&Ps - which include two of the revolvers] are shooters.
