About six months ago I set out to get a Detective Special while I could still afford one. I didn't want anything fancy, just a decent shooter grade for a reasonable price. I couldn't seem to find one that fit into my spending range when I happened upon an Official Police that I wasn't looking for. Then I came across a nice Model 12 that I also wasn't looking for. I learned two valuable lessons:

1) My will is weaker than I previously thought
2) It is not healthy on my budget to search the shelves for the "reasonably priced one"

I was able to resist a very nice Huntsman and Pocket Lite. Both were well worth the asking price, but my kids are already kinda skinny as it is.:eek: Oh well - I did get the Detective Special. Now I have three relatively inexpensive sporting guns with two of them also being mighty fine carry options.
 
LOL, I do the same thing every time I buy a gun. Last time, I wanted a beater .38 special for no more than $150. I came home with a $530 GP100 and I've already spent more than my original budget on accessories. :D:banghead:
 
LOL...sounds like me with my 10/22....wanted something for plinking for under $200 and already have close to $600 into the thing
 
I've always wanted a used Marlin 39A. I can't resist these older guns that look like they've never been fired, so my cheap 39A cost me $475.00
