New S&Ws for my kids

[postalnut25]

So I was at the (not so) local police supply house yesterday to get my new body armor. While they were looking in the back for a new hard plate for the vest, I waltzed by the gun counter and found some treats for my kids. I got my 12yo daughter a Model 10 Heavy Barrel, and my 14 & 16 year old sons got Model 15s. They are trade -ins from the Longmont Police Department according to the gun counter guy. They are beat up on the outside, but they check out good according to the revolver check out sticky. Don't know when I can get the kids to the range to try out their new goodies, but hopefully soon. Dad wants to try them out, too. I ended up getting the Model 10 for $200, and the Model 15s for $180 each. I think it was a pretty decent price. I just have to hide the purchase from household 6

To prove it happened, here is a pic of the three together.

Looks like a good deal to me.

Sounds like a fantastic deal! Load up a coffee can of some 158gr. cast bullets over 3gr. Bullseye and shoot till their hands turn black.

I think it was a pretty decent price.

In some parts of the country, those prices would be called thievery.

Your kids will no doubt make many fond memories with their father and their new revolvers. Excellent way to spend quality time with your kids!

Thanks for all the comments guys. The kids love them, and can't wait to get a day at the range to try them out.

Fine weapons at a great price

Wow, 3 great revolvers at a very good price. I hope they keep those revolvers for a very long time. Even though there are a lot of them floating around I doubt you will be able to buy them at those prices much longer.

Don't forget the range report when you get a chance to get out...

Postalnut, if you don't mind me asking, where did you happen to pick those new beauties up?

I would love to see if I could pick up something connected to my hometown!

I don't think you could do any better than that trio of .38s. Well done!

Man, I need a couple of those. Price is nice- gotta love ugly outside/ decent inside cop trade ins.

I'm up for adoption! Mom said she'd sign the papers, 'cause with me hanging around it makes her look old. She'll be 89 in October this year.

I even got my own T-Grips!
