View attachment 823513 View attachment 823514 Seems lately every Pawn or Gun Shop I go in has something nice at a great deal. I even made a promise to myself that I was done buying for a while. On Saturday my girlfriend and I decided to ride down to the beach for a spur of the moment trip to get some good food and just chill out. As we approached the beach she decided she wanted to stop at good size Pawn Shop that has a huge jewelry selection. Still no danger as their gun prices are always high, but of course I had to look. As I was looking over the few revolvers, the manager and I got to talking. He made the comment of how he missed the old days when people liked to bargain for deals in cash. Now everyone wants a steep discount and then pulls out plastic. There goes 4% of his profit. I then spotted 2 Colts. Normally not a Colt man but I do like anything pretty and at the right price. I then responded that I was going to take him back in time and I did want a deal and it would be cash! We haggled longer than I normally would but I really wanted to call his bluff. He finally caved and I left with a nice Trooper MK lll in .22 LR and a Lawman Mk lll in .357 that looks almost new except for turn line. I know the Lawman doesn’t have the biggest fan base like Pythons and Troopers but it’s beautiful and what the hell, you don’t see a really nice Colt Snubby every day. My weak promise lasted almost a week.
