Colt 1903 Pocket price check ($500)

[CapnMac]

I still got that $130 for a down payment!

Well, spend the money already, or I'll fly there and make the shop a better offer

You will want to start putting effort into getting magazines for it, and finding them for under US$40 per each. As, just like a potato chip, you can't just have one

Probably worth looking into what 32acp ammo is available too. Start with FMJ, although both of my 1903 ran well with JHP that ogive profiles. Not that I carried (nor carry) one for SD, it's just interesting to see how the typically lighter JHPs perform. Which can advise on the direction you might want for loading your own. and given present steep factory prices for 32acp, that will be a first choice. I have a bro who home powdercoats his own hardcast lead bullets and is over the Moon on how well they perform. YMMV

Well.. I made good money today & probably good money tomorrow morning. Wash my car and try to get extra tips too!

think Tuesday at store opening I’ll put that $130 down! 90 day layaway is only a $50 a week

and you know I’m a hand loader, who buys ammo these days
