Well I brought my 38 Taurus ulralight multi alloy, it was only made a year or two, and I thought if I could swap it out for a 40 caliber auto, I would do it. After about 4 hours, "i went with my buddies" and they all buy a lot of stuff. I figured I would try this last little table that only had a few guns, "i didn't even know what he had". I see this Taurus slim in 40, looked nice, and that was my plan, so let's see what I can make happen. These guys happened to know the gun and owner had owned one and was looking for a second for his wife. Bingo, even swap, I got my 40, and he got the Revolver. He knew what the gun was worth. Most of the guys there had no idea that it was indeed a quality gun that at 11.5 ozs in plus p, with maybe 50 rounds downrange, he got a good deal. He started off asking me to kick in $50.00 but I said i'll keep it then you know what it is. He then said. "sit down and fill out the paperwork", and that was it. We both got what we wanted, but you need to stick to your plan and not allow yourself to get diverted, or you will end up with a gun you don't need or want, and give up one you will want back. It's a nice little 19 0z 40 caliber, 7/8 of an inch thick. i will get the extensions for it and have another gun for rotation. Now I need a 357,or 44 mag for Hogs. We decided that's our next adventure. These two guys are ex military and know each other since they were kids, and both did Nam together, so it's a pleasure just to be around them.
I try to make everything fun, and sometimes the people you go with can make even the crapiest show interesting. I can learn more listening to these two guys than reading the Marine corps handbook, If you want to get a good deal, sometimes you need to talk to the guy standing next to you and find out he knows someone who has or wants what you have.
