The guy turned to be great to deal with. I don't know many sellers that would eat the extra for FedEx. I wish all sellers were like him.

I've had an account for a long time but only have 13 transactions. Mostly ammo, cases, dies, etc. 3 of my 4 firearms transactions have been great. If you know what you're looking for and do your homework, it's a good place for an 03 FFL to get a firearm.
I bought my Ortgies 7.65 on the broker and it's one of my favorite - and most accurate -firearms. After shooting it, I knew I needed one in 25 ACP. I've chased a few but either the seller's reserve price was unreasonable or I wasn't willing to pay the winning bid amount. I didn't expect to win this one but I turned out to be the only bidder at $175, which was pretty shocking. I know these pistols aren't super collectible, but there's always a few bidders whenever a nice example is up for auction. I think the pistol I won may have been reblued but it's a nice example with intact/unbroken grips - certainly worth $175.

Clearly, you now need to obtain the .380 version. That can be a trial, but you're 2/3 of the way there, as far as the basic models go. If you're really into self-inflicted pain, hold out for the button safety .380.
There's one on GB right now. The asking price is $650 which considering how rare the .380's are isn't terrible, but its more than justify right now.

That does seem a "bit" on the high side. I paid $320 for my .380 in July of this year.
I just went down and opened the safe to take a look at it. Had to refresh my memory and I would say it's as nice as, or possibly a bit better than the one currently on GB. I either got a really good deal and/or this fellow is at the top, top end of the price range. Didn't pay that much for the button safety 380 ACP that I picked up last year.

Did you get it on GB or somewhere else? I would love to have a 380 for $320

I'll have to check and see if I can figure out where this pistol came from. My bound book has Name and License Number. I'll see if I can source it from that info and advise.

Found it - purchased from a GunsAmerica listing. And it was for $350, not $320. Still...

That's a good price. I got my 32 ACP for $225. It seems that there's a big jump from the 25 ACP and 35 ACP to the 380.

Here's my new-to-me Ortgies in 25 ACP. All numbers match. It's been reblued, but I knew that going into the transaction. What I didn't know when I pushed the button was that the portion of the barrel in front of the chamber has been blued by whoever reblued it. I'm not too upset about that, as it only cost me $175 and I really bought it to have fun with. It has a proper, clean and functional magazine. The grips are good, except for a very narrow sliver on the front edge of the right grip that's broken off, but the rear is intact and, when engaged by the spring clip, holds the grip firmly in place, so I'm not worried about that. It's a tiny little pistol, as are the rounds for the thing. I like it. Hopefully, it shoots as well as my Ortgies in 32 ACP.

Let us know how it shoots. I am not impressed with mine compared to my FN vest pocket

Is your pistol chambered in 25 ACP or 32 ACP? My 32 ACP Ortgies is my best shooter by far - I can shoot out the bullseye. Btw, I found ammo for the 25 ACP at Aim for $13 per 50.
