How did I do?

[Big Bill]

Well, I went and did it. I traded my Ruger New Model Blackhawk 357/38 Special/9mm convertable (the one with the beautiful rosewood handles) plus 2 leather and 1 nylon holsters, and three boxes of 300 WSM 180 grain, plus a new box or 38 special for a Rossi 357 2" blued snub.

How did I do?

Poorly?

I'm confused, Rossi revolvers aren't awful, but that seems like a very lopsided trade. I think you got hosed.

 

[Big Bill]

Yea! I think I DID get hosed. My son's a good trader! Besides, I do love him. He's been away from home for such a long time. He was in the Navy (Master at Arms) and then he was going to school. He just moved back with his wife and four kids. I guess I just thought it was about time he got a really good deal.

I know the gun very well. I bought it for him for his birthday when he was 21. He's taken good care of it; and, besides it's lighter for me to carry than my SP101 and it holds one additional cartridge.

Ah, I see, well that probably takes the sting off of letting a good gun go

Congratulations and Thanks to your son for serving, hope he enjoys his new gun, and you yours!

A Well Thought Out Trade .....

Reading the original post I thought "I need to call 911, this poor guy needs help!"

Then, the rest of the story.

Nice deal.

You set us up!

Congratulations on having your son home. Please thank him for his service.
