There I was minding my own business

[imjin138]

Went to Shooter's today after I cut the lawn was walking by the used gun counter looking and not expecting to see anything worth while and I saw a Colt blue government model. I took a closer look the tag said $599.99 I looked even closer it said 9mm.

I asked Chris to see it and he handed it to me and I looked it over really good and no cracks scratches and no major issues, I asked what was wrong with it and Chris said "nothing" So I dug out my wallet and bought it. I pick it up later this week I got to stop doing looking at the counter eyes straight ahead I just went there to buy ammo.

The other clerk said the trigger was rough, it felt fine to me.

LOL

Been there! Done that! Go to spend a couple bucks....see a really good deal......head home with a new gun.

Your subconscious knew you needed another one.

Great find! You never know, 'til you look...

The other clerk said the trigger was rough.

Right after he got off the phone with one of his buddies and said,
"You might want to come down here and check somethin' out."

My gawd, I can't even start to count the number of times I've used those very words to explain my behavior in any number of varied circumstances. Ie. boss I was just sitting there minding my own business, when ........

Enjoy that new 9.

It's like when you go to the grocery store. When you are loading up the car you suddenly find all these packets of cookies have jumped into your cart.

It's happened to me with guns, but I doubt anything will trump the time I went into a bike shop looking for cork grips for my DL1, and came out with a new Surly Pugsley.

Went to the LGS for some .45 ammo last Tuesday, spent $730.00 and came home without any ammo

Went back last Friday and spent $540.00 and came back with no ammo

Getting old isn't any fun, always forgetting what I initially went to the LGS for

Don't know why you'd want a surly one. Most of the Pugs I've met were very friendly dogs... :rimshot: I'm here all week.

That was me. Next time don't leave your cart blocking the aisle.

Don't feel bad.........I went into a LGS looking for USGI ammo cans......they didn't have any. I wound up buying 35 pounds of powder and two guns for a fast $1900. You'd think I'd learn!

 

[Vulcan Bob]

I know what you mean, Im always finding things I had no clue that I needed! Good deal on the Colt, 9mms although not rare are a bit hard to come by, well done Sir.

 

[jack the toad]

Congrats on the purchase. Sounds like a deal to me.
Series 70 or 80?

 

[imjin138]

A blued series 70, I didn't give it a second thought once I saw it and what the price was and Shooter's called me today the guy dropped of another magazine so that makes 3

 

[max]

I think you made a wise choice. I would have bought a Colt 1911 in about any caliber for that price.

 

[bigsnowrabbit]

haha i use to do the same thing before I became disable and on a fixed income. Now all i can do is look and hope haha

 

[mkett39]

My one LGS always has the ol saying, "You know we do layaway"

Which turns into a couple of guns and on the "layawake" plan, which is when you lay awake all night wondering how your gonna pay for it all!

 

[Lee Barner]

stan, i just talked to by buddy up in sheboygan falls and he said 9mm 1911s weren't legal in WI. better send it south when you pick it up. i'll take good care of it for you. lee

There's no fun in learning

Childish whines

Why are you crying, whining, and complaining? You are old, can't take the money with you, and you need more stuff! Besides, you had the money in your pocket -- you didn't use a credit card to finance the purchase for 18 months @ 23 % APR.

Just stop the snivelling.

I picked up a real nice High Standard riot gun today that I was not looking for for $100.00 OTD. For that price I wasn't gonna leave it there.
