Kudos to Mr. Gee for a well written, well researched, unbiased article.

$550-$600.

Cool story. THanks for sharing. I loved Jr. Samples.

62a's are great rifles. Congratulations on owning a classic. I have one my father had as a child. I love it.

It's a 29-3 or later. Make sure and get the sights if you buy it. It is a shooter; not a collector with holes drilled in it. If you'd like a shooter, and assuming the trigger hasn't been screwed with, $500 would probably be a fair price......BUT ONLY IF YOU GET THE SIGHTS WITH IT!!!!!!

You are correct, Erik.

You said it was a Glock? They probably thought you were shoplifting a cordless drill or a hair dryer.

With a "hair trigger" and a scope someone installed? Depending on how the scope was installed, it may or may not be a problem. It certainly sounds like some monkey stoned the internals and didn't have a clue what he was doing. The prices you list are collector prices. Here's what a lot of people don't seem to understand: Collectors don't want a gun bubba has worked on, they want a pristine, factory original gun.

How'd you get it home from the store?

As JC57 said, there ain't enough room in a K frame for a 44 mag round. Sounds like someone has screwed up the hammer, trigger, sear, etc. Since you stated that you "don't know crap about revolvers", my advice would be to leave it alone.

...and for the price of 3 XD's I could buy 10 Hi Points and some ammo, and have guns I'd be just as proud of as the XDs. Quality costs money. Some people appreciate quality, and some people want the cheapest thing that'll work. Nothing wrong with either train of thought. That's why so many different makes and models are available. It's a good thing.

PM sent. Did you get one already?

Thanks for the info. I already have an LCP. It's what I carry, and I love it. I just can't believe the LC9 couldn't simply be the LCP's slightly larger brother. The LCP is miles ahead of it in my opinion. Why would one want a safety on a DAO handgun?

That's so cool! I love Rhonda Vincent and Gene Watson. To play with either of them would be a dream come true for me.

If it hasn't been wet or in overly hot conditions, it will be as good as new. If it doesn't smell funny, load it up and shoot it.

Big South Fork Scenic Railway - Home Page Just barely out of Tennessee, but well worth the trip is the Big South Fork Scenic Railway. It offers a train ride through an old mining town. It is fun, reasonably priced, and very educational. The scenery is first rate as well. I plan to take the kids back in the near future.

You didn't get those valeus from Roy did you? I'd pay more than that for it sight unseen.

I invited a young boy at work home to shoot. He brought an AK47 and some sort of pistol. I got out two or three S&W revolvers and let him shoot them. He bought two for himself before the next week was over. Like you said, he'd never fired one, and had no idea how well they shot and felt.

Anything mechanical can fail. I do, however, contend that a pre lock Smith and Wesson revolver is one of, if not the most reliable handgun in existance today.

Looks very nice, crimsonaudio! Thanks for sharing.

SO does eating grilled food not count as eating? If so, you have a new and very profitable diet idea.

Thanks for all the replies so far. I've found a Kubota Diesel model I really like, but it's a big job convincing my wife we need a $12k lawnmover.

Conratulations!!!
