Yesterday three of my buddies and I decided to ride our motorcycles to breakfast and then hit the gun shops looking for a new 9 mm for myself. The breakfast was great but the trips to the gun shops were depressing.
One shop after another had nothing but overpriced 9's sitting on their shelves. I wanted a good reliable rugged 9mm strictly for the range.
At the last gun shop I said screw it, let's head back home these guns are to rich for my blood. As I was heading out the door a guy standing there with his young son had a 9mm he was trying to sell to the dealer. The guy behind the counter said the owner wasn't in and he couldn't buy it.
When we got outside I asked him what he had and he opened the box and there was a Ruger P-85 in stainless and in mint condition. I asked him how much he wanted and he said $ 200 bucks.
My next words were SOLD.
I got the gun home and went through it and it looks like its brand new. I don't think 100 rounds have been fired through this gun. He said he has had it since new and never used it.
My son in law who is a LEO is running the numbers to be sure it isn't stolen but I do not think it is. No one in their right mind would take a gun into a gun dealer and try selling them a stolen pistol.
So I finally have a 9mm to shoot at the range. Now all I need to do is find ammo.......
