Finally made my first gunbroker purchase

[Alphabrew]

Scored a P64 for under $200 shipped to my door. Doesn't have a mag, but the one I got from Weinder's had two. Plus, the I might get lucky and find some cheap at the HoCo gun show next weekend. I mailed the payment and my C&R this morning, now I'm just hoping the pics don't look too far off. Guns always seem to look much better in photographs. I did notice that the little red dot indicating that the safety is not on is missing but I'm not too worried about that. I am more worried about the scuff just north of the circle 11, but for the money I don't think I'm hurting.

First thing, your interweb skills suck! Posting a screenshot, really? Even I can save a pic to my iphone and then upload it here.


As for the gun, Its a 1971, so you have a triangle hammer. Excellent choice for a CCW gun! I prefer the triangle hammer to the rounder one as the triangle hammer is easer to grip with my thumb and let down the hammer safely. The round one seems harder to grip. Nice score.

Not bad!

The white iPhone doesn't do that, duh

Do you not trust the de-cocker? (Not flaming, just curious.)

I still have my thumb on the hammer.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure if there was an issue I wasn't aware of with them.

You won't be disappointed. I've ordered 2 of these. And yellowsled, it's just too easy to become a P-64 whore. 2 months ago I had none and now I have 4. The last one I bought was for the wooden grips :-)

If I spot any others I'll let you know. I'm probably good for awhile.

You're a daisy if you do. I'd love to score one in the sub $200 range.

I'll keep my eyes peeled. I almost chit when I saw that second one with two mags for $140 buy it now. It was only on GB for a few hours before I snatched it.

If you see 2, throw one my way.

Still bitter I missed out on those $99 Toks

 

[budman93]

Yep! One in hand and two soon to be in the mail.

Dang you.

 

[Alphabrew]

Sweet, got both today! They are both better than the $240 + shipping one I got from Weidner's. I am a fan of GunBroker! Will post pics when I have time.

Keep an eye on this one:
