I was thinking about this the other day, and was curious what some people have had regarding the best deal they've gotten on a fire arm, and the one that they kicked themselves later for not buying.
Personally, both of mine are Rugers Mk I and II.
I ended up getting a Ruger Mk II Stainless 10" Bull Barrell for $275 early last year that was in great shape from a local pawnshop. He originally wanted $425, and when I asked what his best price was, he quoted the amount listed. I jumped right on it.
The biggest regret was late last year, when at a local gun show I ran into an old man who had a Ruger MK I from 1960 that he said he had only fired about a 100 rounds through. It was immaculate, and he had the original box etc. He wanted $350 for it...and I didn't have the cash as I had bought a nice 1911 earlier in the show.
So tell me your stories!
