Helped an old girl find a new home.

A buddy of mine came by today and asked if I would tag along while he looked at an old revolver he was thinking of getting. It's his first revolver and his first Colt.

She's a 1919 Police Positive in .32. He almost passed on it when I told him I would buy it if he didn't.

It was $150.

I would have been on that like flies on stink.

score!!!!!

 

[teratos]

Wow, nice find, Joe.

 

[hvymax]

Was he looking for a shooter or collector?

Nice find indeed.

I truly do not think the pawn shop that had it appreciated it, nor does my buddy who bought it. I hope that what I told him about it sticks with him and he realizes what kind of deal he just found.

Was he looking for a shooter or collector?

An occasional shooter. This is going to be a "house gun" for his wife and not something that is going to see heavy use. We found him some ammo for it as well.

The only thing that I don't like about it is a previous owner bobbed the hammer.

 

[hvymax]

Hammers are widely available.

Damn, I would have jumped on that in a minute.

For what it's worth, I find these things because it's all I do. I'm a stay at home dad. Once I have things done around the house, I can search while the laundry is going or the dishwasher is on. I spend a lot of my time finding deals like this....leaving my number with people all over the place so they can let me know when deals like this pop up.....if people are looking for certain guns at certain prices, I can usually find them.

It's just a little hobby. If I can't buy anything right now, there's no reason I can't help others find what they are looking for. The hunt still thrills me just as much.

Nice price.

SWEET find

I'm not a huge revolver guy, but I can tell just by looking at it that's a great deal. Good find.
