i spent alot of time looking at used, and wornout revolvers in the last year. I never could find an honest priced deal, by the standards of this and other forums.
Today was at a small gunshop and found two honest priced handguns.
a police positive 38special.400.
a sw 45acp revolver. 500. not the typical 1917. the front sight was a regular half dollar style, no thin section to the top of it. but had the 1917 barrel and cylinder pin latch.
the police positive was the nicer of the two. better finish and all.
the 45acp well, the finish sucked. 80 percent on the cylinder with a heavy turnline. the rest id say 90 percent.
couldnt handle them, the place was busy and i didnt like the other customers.
but the thing is, the police positive simply seemed the better one, just strange as it is.
but i was hit with the same question from both of them,
why spend that money on a gun, that has no chance at factory repair, when i can get a gun made today for the same price and have a factory repair plan?
or spend more on the gun, and get a brand new one with the lock, and the factory warranty, that wont technically expire until im 84?
