Demi-human
maybe likes firearms a little bit…
Today I spent the Independence Day holiday enjoying my freedom to purchase firearms!
I received a call that an unfortunate circumstance had befallen a older man and there was a pistol that needed selling and buying. I would have felt better buying it from him, but dementia has riddled his mind and his wife came home to it taken apart on the kitchen table. He was eagerly looking for the barrel as it sat with the rest of the pieces.
She wanted them gone. I wasn’t really happy to oblige, but did. His brother brought it to me for purchase.
I was told before hand it was a steel nine millimeter pistol, blued, with fat magazines. Three of them.
A Smith and Wesson or something.
I didn’t mind what it was. A full size steel shooter in nine for my new progressive press was what I wanted. For $500, I couldn’t go wrong even if it needed help. But I was assured it was very nice. Not scratched up or anything.
They were right.
It was nearly perfect for being two years younger than I. Or maybe I’m a little rough for the wear?
I thought they were bigger…
There seems to be about a single box’s worth of ammunition run through it. The slide was tight and the hammer was more difficult to cock than my Desert Eagle. It has the Pachmayr grips but no wooden ones. And a nice leather holster as well.
And yes, not a single scratch adorned the beautiful finish on this 1982 production FNH manufactured Browning Hi-Power pistol!
I had to celebrate with fireworks and a Leine’s!
There was also a stash of factory 30-06 ammunition for $5 a box. I took all seven and a half. I took the Federals and the mixed box so that no one else attempted to fire them.
The brother wondered aloud that they would probably clean up fine. I took the time to tell him the things I learned from Slamfire.
Some of these will be taken apart. I don’t really need ammunition, or the primers, but it would be safer for them to disappear.
And a great find, one of the full boxes are 55grain Accelerators! What an awesome buy! I won’t shoot them but someone might like them as much as I’d like their money…
I always read about some of you lucky gentlemen coming across phenomenal deals. Even if a bit sad, I finally found one myself.
I can’t wait to put its second box through it!
Ha! My Shandy got warm!
