....told me I should go back to the gunshow today.
I scored an unfired Ruger Mk2 on the way out yesterday. Overall it was a good show, and there were a few nice pieces I wanted to take another look at if they were still there.
This one was new. Older gentleman had set up a table with some really choice, collector-grade Colts from his personal accumulation. Prices were high, but fair given the condition.
He also had this-
1981 Second-Gen Colt Detective Special.
The seller said this was his personal carry gun for many years, but shot very little.
It's definitely got a "been there, done that" patina, but the lockup is perfect. The seller said he had dropped it and cracked the grips years ago, but he did a pretty good repair and refinish.
Considering what these go for these days, I'm was happy to hand over the 5 bills the fella was asking and promised to give it a good home.
I'll probably do a little bluing touch-up and carry it myself.![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
