A great weekend for gun buying!!!
« on: March 04, 2011, 01:56:44 AM »
So last Friday morning my wife wakes me up to tell me that our tax return has come through the bank finally ;D  
I called Surplus Ammo and Arms in Lakewood just to see if they had any sp101's.  Just my luck they had three.  Two new ones and one used one.  I jump in the car and drive down there and their prices were right where they should be on the 2 new ones, so I asked to see the used one.  I was quite surprised when they brought out a 10 year old sp101 with all the original papers and box.  It did not even appear to have been fired much at all.  Infact there was only a little powder residue on one of the cylinders.  And there price was only $380  :IBCOOL:  I bought that for my wife, it never hurts to make the woman happy.

You would think that my gun deal luck had just been used up, but not so.  The next day at the Puyallup WAC gunshow I found a S&W 629 CLASSIC, 44mag, 6 1/2 inch barrel with a shoulder rig, two speed loaders, and 110 rounds of ammo.  And what you might ask did I have to pay for this very nice revolver?  $600 out the door.  :IBCOOL:  
I wish I could afford weekends like that all the time.

There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

My wife picked out the Ruger about 8 months ago as the gun she wanted next.  It is a great thing when an opportunity comes up and you have the funds to jump on it.  As for the S&W,  who does not want to have a 44mag.  Especially while hiking and hunting in bear country.

You will not be let down with both of those.  I own both of them.  I've had the 629 for over 20 years.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

A good deal at a WAC gunshow?

Congrats.
